Ashton's Weekly Update

by Ashton Gustafson

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.

And remember our sites for fast answers:

If we can do anything else to serve you or anyone you know this week, please let me know.

We need homes with pools to sell!!!

by Ashton Gustafson

Good Monday morning to you!

The heat has arrived. We broke the 100 degree mark last week, and it looks like its here to stay. If you or someone you know is looking to sell their home that has a pool, please let me know . We have had quite a few people looking for homes with pools, and the market inventory is quite low. See www.TexomaHomeValue.com where I can give you an idea of what your home may bring at this time.

Our current inventory is one of the best I've ever seen.

See http://www.texomahomesource.com/Properties for everything we have on the market.

Also, see www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com to view everything the market has available.

Myth Buster:

Myth: Seller Financing is no longer allowed in Texas

Fact: Seller financing is still allowed in virtually all real estate transactions.

However, as of May 31, 2010, if a seller is financing a one-to-four-family residential transaction other than his primary homestead or a sale to a family member, he must be licensed as a residential mortgage loan originator (RMLO). In other words, transactions involving investment property, second homes, and vacation homes require licensure as a RMLO.

Good Monday morning to you!

This past week brought exciting news with Realtor Magazine selecting me into the 2010 Class of top 30 agents under 30 years of age in the nation. This award belongs to my family, friends, team members, and all of you that have supported me throughout the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our market continues to stay positive with  high inventories of homes across the board. Aggressive pricing is leading to quick sales, and buyers are realizing that the interest rates are not going to hang where they are for long. Take a look @ some of these great properties - http://www.texomahomesource.com/Properties.

Wichita Falls Real Estate Update

by Ashton Gustafson

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.

Ashton's Weekly Update - Wichita Falls

by Ashton Gustafson

Good Monday morning to you!


We now have 19 days left to capitalize on the federal tax credit for both first time and repeat buyers. If you have any questions on qualification or how this works, please let me know - ashton@bishoprealtors.com.


Our market continues to act as a "price war" and a "beauty contest". While we have seen record sales in the last 30 days, the inventory available is as high as we have ever seen. Nevertheless, mortgage rates remain at historical lows, and our market has successfully navigated through one of the toughest economic conditions ever - for that, we should have gratitude.


If you know someone that has fallen behind on their mortgage, please forward them to www.WichitaFallsShortSale.com. They can find great information on how to resolve their mortgage problems.


Also, if you or someone you know is looking to purchase in this market, forward the site www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com to them. This site has quickly become the most used site for buyers in the Greater Wichita Falls.


If we can serve you or anyone you may know this week, please let me know. Best of luck this week.
