Wow, 50 Beaufort Area Homes Hit the Market THIS WEEK Alone
Posted by Todd Covington on Thursday, February 19th, 2009 at 11:04pm.Like always, keeping a
blog stuffed with interesting things is a challenge. Today I was
looking through some of the Beaufort Market statistics and was shocked
to see 50 houses were listed in the Beaufort MLS this
week. A rise in
active listings is expected this time of the year. February is a
great time to put your house for sale because the hot real estate
season is fast approaching. Even so, there were only 1580 active
listings last week. If you average that out, 1580 divided by 52 weeks
means we should average around 30 listings a week. Fifty this week
comes to a 66% increase. Pretty impressive, but will buyers bite?
Great question, and I wish I had the answer. No doubt there are more buyers actively looking for homes. I've seen a huge traffic increase on this site and fellow agents at ERA Evergreen are buzzing about all the new activity. I just don't know if that will add up to a large quantity of sales. One thing is certain. You will not have to wait until the end of the year to find out if the market has turned around. Home sales in the months of March, April, May, and June will tell the story. No matter what occurs, I guarantee it to be a better year than 2008.

If all of these stimulus plans and government spending don't make this year a better year, we may be in for a horrid 2010. I'm confident that '09 will end up being better than '08. Do you think listings are priced better this year in your area or are sellers still holding onto pricing from years ago?
