07/09/2010: Robin's opinion of Market Conditions in Hendersonville, Asheville, Brevard and Surrounding Local Area

The strong buyers market continues with even more inventory for buyers to choose from including short sales and foreclosures as properties go on the market for the selling season.

June stats for the four counties in the Western NC Regional MLS show a very welcome increase in sales which we generally can attribute to the Buyers Federal tax credit program.  It will be telling when the July stats are available to see if the market continues to pick up.  Along with the increased sales for June we have also added additional inventory.

Great interest rates continue.

The current market offers many opportunities for buyers and it could be very worthwhile for the consumer to check with the financial folks to see how the tax breaks could benefit them.

Buyers continue to be more active and serious in their looking.  I've been busy showing, listing properties and even writing contracts!

Hendersonville and Western NC is a beautiful area that has a lot to offer and if you are considering a real estate purchase it could be worth your while to come take a look while inventory remains plentiful and prices low.  Why rent if you are in a position to purchase and take advantage of the tax benefits?
