Will this winter/spring be a reason to feel delightful or what will this market be. There are still a lot of new inventory coming on the market everyday which is great for the first time homebuyer's looking to CASH IN on the $8000 tax credit ! If you have lived in your home for the last 5 of the 8 years you can qualify for $6500 in TAX CREDITS! This maybe your year to make the move you've been thinking about but too scared of the market to make that change... From December 1- December 8 market update 30 homes have closed 70 pending home sales 37 new homes have come on the market 33 price changes To view more information on these new listings click here Average list price is $187,967.

Thanksgiving is Over!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break and had the time to reflect on all the great things you have to be thankful for! This week I am looking forward to spending time with my kids, decorating the house, preparing for my Holiday Open house and showing lots of homes to first time homebuyer! This is a great time to go out and see these homes before the First time homebuyer tax credit expires April 30! Currently on the Lawrence MLS there are 82 homes on the market all priced under $125,000 what a great time to make that rent payment go towards building equity in your future! Click here to view these homes! Call or email me today to get more information on these homes or to set up a time to view.

What a great month for Lawrence real estate. The tax credit has been extended and expanded to benefit current homeowners who have lived in their home for 5 of the last 8 years. This new section of the tax credit allows current homeowners the ability to receive up to $6500 tax credit if they purchase and reside in a new property. With this they do not need to sell their current home just make the new home the primary residence. As for the current state of the market there are 106 homes on the Lawrence MLS that are under contract. This past week November 17-22: 36 homes sold and 42 new homes came on the market! Average list price of these new homes were $183,771 with the average sold price of the homes that closed at $155,433 including the land that also was counted in the sold numbers. I am excited for a wonderful holiday season and thankful for having this career that allows me to spend time with my friends and family. I love what I do and I am very grateful to be able to help so many ...
