Market activity in improving. I am seeing unprecedented activity for a December!

For those sellers that stayed on the market during this traditionally slower time, is seeing some benefit, since many homeowners have removed their home from the market at this time of year assuming it would be slow and also inconvenient because of the holidays. But my view has always been, if you want to sell, then you have to be on the market. Plus, the most motivated buyers sometimes appear at the end of the year, as either their home as sold and now need to find a home or RELO buyers that are looking to begin their jobs in January.

More news: our RE/MAX office will be moving their office space around the corner from its current location. A beautiful, former design center will be our new home, affording us more private offices, more efficient layout with similar square footage and a lovely fireplace and hardwood floors. There will be private parking just for our customers making it easier during the lunch hour when finding a parking spot can be difficult. I will let you know when our official move in date is.

Our office’s market share continues to increase. Our office of 44 full time agents is leading ALL real estate offices in dollar volume…with $104.5M YTD volume through the 1st ¾ of the year (9/30/09).

Compared to Weichert Warren at $83MM and Coldwell Banker Warren at $51.1MM

Specifically looking at Warren Township sales in 2009, we lead ALL offices with $30MM in Warren Township business compared to $19.8MM Weichert Warren and $11.5MM Coldwell Banker Warren.
