MLK Day Market Update - Wichita Falls, TX

Monday, January 17, 2011

by Ashton Gustafson

Good Monday Morning to you!

As you probably know, we have a non-traditional approach to a traditional business. We believe that we are changing the way the industry operates, and its seems as though these tactics are working. Last year, we grew our market share 150% - in what was a very unique market.

The stats came out for the Wichita Falls Real Estate market in 2010 this week. Essentially, the residential sold market was flat as inventory continued to grow. All in all, we are so fortunate to be in the market we have here. Many of our buyers from other states have lost as much as 50% in their home values from where they previously lived. Here we are flat...and I'll take flat!

If I can serve you or anyone you may know this week, please let me know.

What a difference a year makes....

Good Monday morning to you!

If you've read anything about the Real Estate market over the past 3 years, the main buzz was the 1st Time Home Buyer and Repeat Buyer Federal Tax Credits. This $8000 tax credit sent a wave of buyers into all markets...and, rightfully so.

However, in less than 6 months, interest rates have fallen on a 30 year fix from 5.25% to 4.25%. At a loan amount of $200,000, this is over $43,000 in savings over the life of that loan. The last time I checked, $43,000 was greater than $8,000...what a difference a year makes. The chart below puts this into great perspective.

To keep an eye on all of the opportunities that are hitting the market each day, remember to log in @ www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com. This has quickly become the best site for the buyer/investor in North Texas.

If you're thinking about taking advantage of these rates and moving up, see www.TexomaHomeValue.com for a free market analysis of your property.

If I can answer any other questions or serve someone you may know, please let me know.

Make it a great week and GO RANGERS!
