Good Monday morning to you!
Like I said last week, we are looking to add homes with pools to our inventory. If you or anyone you may know is looking to sell their home this summer (pool or no pool) please let us know. With 30 year fixed rate mortgages under 5%, this summer should be a great market!
I have also said that this is the best inventory of homes we've ever had-and the truth endures. See http://www.texomahomesource.com/Properties for every home we have available at this time.

Good Monday morning to you!
Its hard to believe we are already 1/3 of the way through 2010. I mentioned last week that our inventory of great homes is a good as its ever been. www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com . If anyone you may know is in the market place, please forward them this email.
Market Statistics: Average Days on Market for SOLDS
$350,000 and up........408 days
$250,000 - $350,000........92 days
$200,000 - $250,000........81 days
$150,000 - $200,000..........117 days
$100,000 - $150,000..........72 days
These are very interesting figures. The Sheppard Air Force Base market has been very active from $225,000 - $275,000, and numerous first time home buyers took advantage of the credit from $100,000 - $150,000...therefore, we can see why these two parameters shared the lowest days on market. For more information on this, please let me know.
Hope all is well, and make it a great week.

Good Monday morning to you!
We got to experience moments of Spring here and there this week, speaking in terms of weather. We had a huge Spring experience this week in terms of Real Estate. Currently, we've got 12 pending contracts with just 8 days into March. However, this market continues to be a price war and a beauty contest.
We just posted the podcast for March. Click this link to listen in: http://talkrealty.com/ashtongustafson

Good Monday morning to you!
Hopefully some Spring sunshine is in our very near future - I hear more snow is one the way tomorrow...what a Winter its been!
As we approach this Spring and Summer, our best sales seasons, you may be thinking of moving or know someone that is too.
We have created www.TexomaHomeValue.com for those of you that are looking to sell and wondering what the market around you has done in the last few months. Simply enter your home's information and your contact information, and we'll have a market analysis to you within 24 hours.
January 2010 for us was up over 2009 and we already have 16 new pending for February. Its looking like this will be another GREAT year for the Bishop/Gustafson Team.
This week's Myth Buster:
Myth: "If I price my house high in the beginning, that will give me more negotiating room and the buyer will feel like they're getting a deal."
Fact: This simply is not true - you cannot fool buyers in this market.
The only home that sold over $300,000 in Wichita Falls for the month of January was originally on the market at $875,000 - and it sold for $425,000 908 days later. Pricing high caused this home to be on the market almost 3 years! Had they priced aggressively in the beginning, they probably would have netted more money, and saved almost 3 years in taxes, utility bills, and lawn care.
Please call me this week if I can serve you or anyone you may know.
