New Year Brings Hope for Better Market

The last quarter of 07 certainly wasn't the greatest, but the number of written contracts for December hint at a better start than expected. Over 988 homes' listings expired on December 31, a record for this MLS. Asheville sellers are getting the message that getting real on pricing will be necessary in order to sell their homes. RE companies will have to help sellers get better educated on the market for their homes to sell or we will again see a glut of homes on the market.
Buyers are cautious now, but are still recognizing a good deal when they see it. So whether you are a buyer or seller, look at the numbers first before listing or the competition if you are a buyer before buying.
