STREET MILTON 8784137 BRAND REALTY INC 8730300 By Glenda Hughes Sales Rep Having promised you that I would keep you up to date on whats hap pening the market one month agu I guess must report my observations but it is with some agony that I write this Earlier I told you thai the market has turned upwaid and that is still holding true with the bottom end of the market selling well and the middle just in the past few weeks starting to move much belter Ihe high end is still very difficult and nerveracking on all concerned However it is a distressful profession to be in at present for we are party to seeing what homes are going for offers that are coming in and the aggravation that vendors are going through With this being a buyers market selling prices are lower than the listing price in lots of cases Some people have placed themselves in a position that they must close on another home in fairly short order and this does not make for good negotiations We as sales agents can only advise our clients of market condi tions and put all the facts and figures together for our vendors and hope that they make intelligent decisions and that they come out OK In some eases suspect it is not OK to say the least There have been many das that I hae felt responsible for the problems that clients face as I am sure many other sales have also and it is on those days that I have to grit teeth and try to just do job I know that this will end soon for all markets change I just hop hi one ends sooner than most With the oncoming Christmas season I know that some of vou ir wondering if should take your homes off the market during the holidav season and as I have been asked this several times I can report to vou from previous experience In past years I have found that although the purchasers drop down for about a threeweek period the ones that are out there looking are really serious and if vour home is not readv to be viewed just might lose out Think about how pretty home looks with all the decorations and lights It is a time of vear that sets a home aglow with tradition and warmth it is a time to have people see your home at its best So don think that because vour sHowings are down that vou won t a sale the v opposite could he true I am starting to get our home prepared shortly and looking forward to seeing the twinkling lights again having friends and family around and making contact with clients and fellow coworkers I that vou are indeed doing the same and that holidays will be filled with laughter and good cheer It s been quite a year but then erv is what make it it I hope vours has been as happy and as and loving as mine of vour dreams come true over the holiday and vou are blessed with good health good friends and good cheer Homes Sold
