So Many Things to Blog, So Little Time

So Many Things to Blog, So Little Time

Okay, so, two months later, she comes back swinging.  Yes, I can FINALLY walk and show homes.  And I didn't really blog much due to the fact that pain meds really do mess with your mind - badly.

So now, I can think of a bunch of things to say.

1.  I am in Oklahoma City, OK.  I came with my husband as he has a two-week class.  Why in the world the government put all the FAA classes in OKC, I will never know.  But the compund is impressive and a bit like Fort Knox.

2. Yes, I AM working from here.  I actually have clients coming in next week from Washington State and have been on the phone and email with themevery since I arrived here.  I am excited to be back up and running (well, that's a total figure of speech!) The doctor said the swelling in my foot won't go down for about a year.  But, hey, what's flip flops for a year compared to not walking!  Oh, and did I mention the Oklahoma State Fair is here right now!

3.  The housing market reports are looking really good.  However, when you look below the surface on things such as pricing, there isn't as rosey a picture.  Take the areas I work in: There has been an inventory shortage of houses on the market.  This has once again started many a bidding war and driven prices up a bit as reflected in the reports.  But really, when the banks start unloading their vast supply of bad loans (foreclosures and short sales) which Obama said had to be done by 2014, the market will once again be flooded and in turn the prices will once again drop.  Check out this article!

Anyways, more to come in future blogs.  Stay tuned for adventures in OKC and more real estate news.

And if you are thinking of moving, definitely pick a local expert and someone you can trust.  I will be more than happy to answer your questions or help you with your real estate needs.

Okay, so here are Glendora Real Estate Market statistics for this week - and they seem to be shooting up!

This week there are 17 new listings in the city.  Fourteen sold this week in Glendora, and that number seems to be growing by leaps and bounds.  Thirteen went into escrow which means that in approximately 30-60 days we should have 13 more that sold.  Looks like the Glendora Real Estate Market is starting to move and shake. (A HA, move and sahke, get it, California, earthquakes...!  LOL)

Eleven homes were also placed back on the market and nine have moved into back up status.  Usually the homes that go back on the market are homes where the buyer has either had to wait too long and backed out of the deal, or can't get the loan they need to complete the purchase.  The banks have been working on the timing partand the new procedures are actually starting to have an affect on home sales.  Short sales vs foreclosures are moving toward short sale now!

This week there were eleven price changes.  Before, a lot of this could be blamed on the banks changing their prices and taking such a long time that the prices were dropping before they were sold.  Now it's just that the agent has to price it right from the start to get it sold!

I try to stay on top of the communities I serve and be a local expert for all of them.  So if you are interested in buying or selling a home, or if you simply have real estate questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will be more than happy to assist you!

Okay, so here is this week's Glendora Real Estate Market Watch- and we're off and running!

This week there are 14 new listings which is a good sign that people are getting more and more confident in the real estate market.  Six sold and three went into escrow.  That's six homes that have new owners and three that will hopefully in a few weeks.  So home sales are happening in Glendora.

There are seven that went back on the market and five that have gone into backup status.  Usually the homes that go back on the market are homes where the buyer has backed out for some reason and the seller has to start all over again.  Most recently the reason most buyers back out is because of the time it has been taking for the lenders to approve short sales.  To be fair, the lenders are working on it, but it hasn't helped much to this point.

You know, I try to be positive about the amount of price changes abut sometimes it is tough.  This week in Glendora there were eleven which is actually quite a few when compared with the inventory.  

I try to stay on top of my communities and be a local expert for all of them.  So if you are interested in buying or selling a home or simply have questions about real estate, please feel free to contact me.  I will be more than happy to assist you!
