January Sales

This is, after all, a "real estate corner" so I thought you might be interested in a bit of real estate news. As I mentioned earlier, Trent River Realty had a really good January so I am, naturally, feeling a bit bullish about the 2010 market. Just to see if my feeling was correct, I checked the January figures from our Board of Realtors. In January of 2009, 55 homes were closed. in January of 2010, 68 homes closed. That's an increase of 24%! After an incredibly good November (because of the anticipated tax credit deadline), December was slow. But then after those boom years, we have quickly forgotten that December is traditionally a slow month due to the holidays. So, it's certainly nice to see that the good news resumed in January.
