Not so fast… Or maybe…. by Salmaan http://www.brandongreen.com/blog/2009/05/04/a-real-estate-market-recovery-not-so-fast%e2%80%a6-or-maybe%e2%80%a6/#comment-836 Salmaan Thu, 14 May 2009 00:57:16 +0000 http://www.brandongreen.com/blog/2009/05/04/a-real-estate-market-recovery-not-so-fast%e2%80%a6-or-maybe%e2%80%a6/#comment-836 Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I agree with you that everything will depend on the amount of foreclosures that will hit the market in the next couple of months. Interesting, thanks for the feedback.

I welcome the dialog. I don't think the time to buy has past, I think the BEST time to buy has past. There are still many deals available and will be for quite some time. You're right; it is possible that a dramatic increase in foreclosures will push prices down further. It is also possible the demand has increased enough to move through the inventory fast enough to prevent further decline in prices. I suspect it is the later, especially closer to the core of DC. I draw the conclusion based on the fact we are seeing 5-15 contracts on nearly every foreclosure listings. Demand has clearly exceeded the current supply of REO properties on the market. It will be interesting to see how this progresses... Call me anytime to discuss further. Thank you for your response. I welcome the dialog.

Won't that dilute the market further and drive prices down? Thanks.

]]> Comment on How to sell a house in this market by Monica Murphy, Preferred Staging http://www.brandongreen.com/blog/2008/07/15/how-to-sell-a-house-in-this-market/#comment-720 Monica Murphy, Preferred Staging Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:35:30 +0000 http://www.brandongreen.com/blog/2008/07/15/how-to-sell-a-house-in-this-market/#comment-720 I think the WSJ should rerun that article! It seems as though many sellers now get it, and their homes are selling. The ones that do not properly prepair or price their home, however, are at a huge disadvantage.
