Happy Thanksgiving!

Our family wishes all of you wonderful blessings today and always. We are truly living in a time where counting our friendships and blessings instead of our hardships is becoming more important. Much happiness to all of you as we count ours in the Wainfor household. I have to say my sweet family is the most important thing in my life.

Happy Real Estate News...

OK, so we all know it's not the best market but I received tons of real estate related articles and emails daily. Here are my favorites:

1. First Time Home buyers are getting out and taking advantage of a great real estate market for buyers.

2. Hilliard homes average sales prices went down 3.99% BUT the average across the US is down 9.88%.

3. Our group sales were down about 5% over last year total. Not bad, considering the total market share! Which means that homes in our market area are still selling in spite of the economy!

4. People are starting to buy more investment properties as more people are in the rental markets. There are fantastic buys out there and people eager to rent them.

5. FHA loans are making a fashionable come back! Yea!
Take care, Susan
