Do You Realize?

Three factors in the current residential real estate market are combining to make this a fantastic time to buy a home.
1. The Tax Credit. With an $8000 tax credit available for most first time home buyers and up to a $6500 tax credit for move up purchasers, there is real incentive to get a home under contract before the April 30, 2010 deadline.
2. Low Interest Rates With mortgage interest rates continuing to hold at near record-low levels, the cost of financing a home today means more home for the money. In addition, most experts are predicting higher rates in the not-to-distant future.
3. Affordable Prices All comparisons show home prices in our area are among the most affordable in the country. If, as some suggest, inflation could occur as a result of current economic policy, we could see a significant increase in home prices over the next few years.

It Is Here!

Every year Coldwell Banker Select Realtors conducts a giant Spring Open House Celebration. During the Celebration, CB Select sales associates will conduct hundreds of open houses and meet lots of prospective home purchasers. As a result of this effort, many homes will be SOLD.
The 2010 Open House Celebration should generate more buyers than ever because of the impending Tax Credit deadline and extremely low interest rates. In fact, this year’s Celebration has been expanded to all weekends in March and April with the exception of April 3-4, which is Easter. Our goal is to give prospective buyers every opportunity to find a home before the April 30, 2010 Tax Credit deadline.
If you are thinking of selling your home and would like to take advantage of the activity generated by the Open House Celebration, contact me at slaunchbaugh@cbtulsa.com. I am already scheduling open houses and want to include your home.

Lucky #13

It’s official! The data is in and the stats have been compiled. For the 13th consecutive year, Coldwell Banker Select Realtors SOLD more homes in the greater Tulsa area during 2009 than any other real estate company. In fact, throughout the year more than 1 out of every 5 homes SOLD was marketed successfully by Coldwell Banker.
Of course, we always recognize that the only purchase or sale that is important to the customer is their own. Plus, we know we cannot rest on our laurels. We are already working to improve our marketing programs for 2010. Finally, we always remember our success is ultimately dependent on the continued loyalty and patronage of our many customers. We thank you!

NOTE: Statistics compiled from NORES (MLS) data for Tulsa, Creek, Osage, Rogers and Wagoner counties. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
