Back with updates

I would like to apologize to all of my readers. I've been out for about 2 weeks. Surprisingly for this time of year I've been extremely busy, I've been sick, & traveling for Thanksgiving.

Anyway I'm back & will try to get everyone up to speed on whats been happening.

My last Blog was on Nov. 13th, so I'll just summarize the activity since.

For Single Family Homes
-614 Westgate went contingent with a list price of $1,769,000
-2 New listings
-950 Woodward a 3bed 1bath was listed for $249,900 (the price is correct, its being sold as-is)
-75 Mulberry a 4bed 2.5bath home was listed for $579,000
-5 Price reductions
-9 cancelled listings
-3 Closings
-1423 Deerfield closed for $406,000
-2 Tamarisk Ln. closed for $850,000
-1414 Hazel closed for $1,300,000
-4 Pending Listings
-1026 Central for $316,100
-1023 Greenwood for $323,900
-923 Stratfor for $349,900
-626 Appletree for $1,079,000

In the attached homes
-4 Properties went under contract

-422 Kelburn went under contract with a list price of $267,000
-849 Bluebird went under contract with a list price of $324,900

-New listing at 297 Tanager a 3bed 2.5bath townhome for $339,900
-1 Price reduction...reduced by $100, I won't mention the address
-2 Reactivated listings
-3 Cancelations
-2 Closings
-331 Redwing closed for $200,000
-451 Elm closed for $217,500

The equity markets have tumbled again over the last 2 weeks & banks continue to cry about their exposure to the subprime loan markets. We'll monitor this through the rest of the year.

As a slight bit of optimism, I'm seeing more activity on my listings & my buyers seem to be more proactive on looking & buying before year end.

I'll try to keep more current with the updates & apologize again for the gap.

Slow day for the Realty market...bad couple of days for the Stock market

I know this is a Real Estate blog, but today we saw another terrible move to the downside in the stock market.
11/9/07
Dow -1.69 Nasdaq -2.52% S&P -1.43%

What does this have to do with the Deerfield Real Estate market?... Actually a lot. These recent moves down are due to credit concerns with more banks reporting more problems. This effects consumer confidence, lending, & the list goes on & on.


Back to Deerfield Real Estate....we had a very slow day yesterday.

Single Family Homes
-New Listings @ 1444 Greenwood...3bed 1.5bath home listed for $639,000
-Price reduction @ 1513 Dartmouth...reduced from $799,900 to $789,900

Attached housing
-Nothing to report

Like I said, a very slow day yesterday.

Have a good weekend everyone & I'll be back on Monday.
