I have put together 2 transactions in the last week and wrote 2 other offers in the last 3 weeks that were beaten out by another offer in a Multiple Counter Offer situation.  That is probably the best news I can report as far as the early signs of things picking up in our market.  Ironically, most of the activity seems to be more in the primary home market, as opposed to the second home market, but in the last few weeks it appears that the number of inquires is increasing and I think we will see a corresponding increase in the numbers of showings and offers as the weather continues to improve. 

 

There does not appear to be a clear sign yet as to whether the financial and real estate markets will respond favorably to the passage of the Stimulus Package Bill.  The details of the next plan coming from Washington to address the housing and mortgage situation are due to be unveiled this week.  I remain optimistic that the news will be positive and will give us ammunition to be able to use with the Buying public that now is a good time to buy and the worst is behind us.  That probably more than anything else is what we need to be able to communicate to potential Buyers to combat all the negative news that continues to be pumped out by the media.
