For instance, take a look at the chart below.  This chart shows the number of homes sold in Spotsylvania County in the last three months.

Notice the acute dive that begins in September, and has continued into October?

“According to the National Association of Realtors, pending home sales (contracts signed) are up 6.4 percent in September compared to the same month last year, but down 4.6 percent from the month prior, marking the third month of a slow decline. The drop in September was not expected by analysts. Contracts are up from 2010, but the current economic climate is taking a toll to reduce the headway the housing sector had been making and we maintain unemployment remains a critical component of the overall housing picture.”

Buyers who may have struggled to make a good deal on a home over the last 6 months, are in a position now to take advantage of the market change that makes it easier to get more favorable price, terms and conditions.  If you are looking to buy, this is one of the most favorable times for buyers that we have had in 2011.

Today we are holding an open house at a beautiful home in the Salem Fields Community off of Gordon Road. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a finished basement, two car garage, and a fenced backyard, this home is ready for a new owner. You hear the phrase “like a model” a lot, but this home really is in impeccable condition.

The home is priced at $254,900 and is a GREAT value, in a great neighborhood.  The seller is motivated, so this could be a great opportunity for you!
