This past Monday, Oct 6, I was interviewed live on a local Concord NH radio program called In The House on WKXL1450.
The program was on the air from 1pm to 2pm and the topic was REALTOR ethics and how they effect the consumer. We ended up running out of time so the second interview will take place Monday Oct 13th and will be broadcast live.
Funny thing is, as a kid I always wanted to be on the radio in fact I used to play act with a brush as my microphone…Think of Tom Cruise in his underwear dancing and singing into a brush in the movie Risky Business LOL.
I was interviewed by Brenda Perkins the host of In The House and she did a great job making me feel relaxed. I felt comfortable talking Ethics and couldn’t believe how quick the hour flew by. If you missed the show, as most of you did, since I told no one I was doing it, I have linked it here on New Hampshire Real Estate Blogs.com for you to enjoy.

According to the National Association of REALTORS pending home sales have surged. Due mainly in my opinion, to the incredible low prices we’re seeing throughout the country. Here at home we’ve been seeing multiple offers on properties especially in the bank owned homes.
The National Association of REALTORS says the “Pending Home Sales Index, an indicator based on contracts signed in August, jumped 7.4 percent to 93.4 from an upwardly revised reading of 87.0 in July, and is 8.8 percent higher than August 2007 when it stood at 85.8. The index is at the highest level since June 2007 when it stood at 101.4.”
This is pretty good news for the real estate market in general and all the more reason why buyers should start actively looking and buying. Interest rates dropped, inventory is good and the end of the year is rapidly approaching. Wouldn’t it be nice to be in your own home over the holidays? We’d love to help you do that…give us a call at 603-548-7685!

Our internet web stats for the month of September 2007 vs September of 2008 is a clear indication that the housing slowdown is real. Interestingly, while looking at the broker showings on our listings it shows me that showing are way up compared to the same time frame last year. Also, our Featured Home page on the front page of our site is featuring our listings at a much higher rate than this time last year.
Unique visitors are down a little but having over 20,000 unique visitors is not bad. A unique visitor is a visitor whose computer IP address has not been on our site.

I seriously do not like open houses!
Really I don’t! Jay and I held two of our listings open which means we did a lot of sitting and waiting. My sellers prepped the house and it looked lovely but only one customer came through and they were looking for a lease rather than a purchase. Jay didn’t do much better at his. He had some drive bys but no one got out of the car.
Maybe sitting and waiting at an open is a waste of time.
Not a new concept at all. But still we do opens, we disrupt our sellers and blow up balloons, put signs up everywhere, post the open house on line, even do some print ads…all to no avail. I think I’m done doing opens.
