First the stats

131 New Listings:

Avg LP: $172,200

70 Pendings:

Avg LP: $142,912

And because was had a HIGH WATER mark on expireds today, 395, lets examine the numbers there.

Avg LP: $248,882- DOM 179

Thats a much higher LP number for expired then I expected however it does explain why they expired. Those are 6 month listings contracts for the 248k home and they could not be moved. Six months ago, June, we had a spike in listing activity with sellers hoping for a ripple effect from the 1st time home buyer summer traffic. Summer traffic can be slower than most sellers expect. Fall months 09 showed a steady climb from last years sales volume during the same timetable. However today 395 homes had listing contracts expire.

Those clients need our help at HFN. The next 60 days are critical for our Real Estate business. We have been tuning up our LGA’s this week and continuing that focus from now until summer ’10.

Market Update-Financial (Tax Credit)

See article Here: Tax Credit Extension Update

It’s a solid report of expected good news for an extension. Several notes about made in the reading about the New Contruction sales down should not come as a surprise at all.  The past 3 months have reported a declining number in NC contracts. With NC building timelines 4-6 months, closing by Nov. 30th would be a great risk. This extension discussion I believe will push solid traffic even through the winter months. Bringing even more activity from those who fell out of the idea of buying.

We will continue to monitor the activity on our Local Greater Cincinnati MLS over through the remainder of Fall and on into the winter months.

Note to sellers, this does not give you incentive to remove your home from market and relist in the spring. There will be a lot of people doing that already. The inventory will shrink, which will strengthen your leverage to move your home even in what could be somewhat slower winter months.
