Spring is in full bloom!

Spring is in full bloom!

Laura, Todd and new son, Noah, on Jan. 28, 2010 make 14 grandchildren. All’s well and beautiful.

We hear from many of you that the job market still remains tough but our respect goes out to those who have taken on alternative and multiple jobs or those who have teamed up as a couple working long hours. Likewise, it’s impressive how many have saved to take advantage of the wonderful housing market right now. We all know it’s a buyer’s market and there are lots of showings.

What many are also discovering is it’s a good time to sell. Consider this; Interest rates are at a low point, buyers are plentiful, selling their homes, and looking for another – IN LARGE NO’S!

What happens to the equivalent cost of your home if interest rates go up 1% or 11/2%? You will still have good interest rates: but won’t you wish you had made the decision to sell before the rates went up?

Four of the 9 homes we sold in the last 6 weeks averaged days on the market of less than 15 days! 300, 200, 180 & $125,000. They were priced right, staged, painted, updated and spotless. These are the key fundamentals in this competitive market. If you are able and desire to make a change, we can help you succeed and achieve your dreams.

We laugh at the saying at our house “We have a quota of 2 moves per kid per lifetime” Well they keep it up. Andy and Amber moved to Monroe City, Mo, Sarah moved to her new home last week, Rachel and Tony moved in with us this winter and Rachel back out to Sarah’s. John is preparing to sell and buy and Sarah’s first home is listed. Help.

Thanks to all of you for the many referrals. Remember we can refer all your family, friends, and work associates to the top RE/MAX agents throughout the city, state and country.

God bless our service men and women.
