Real Estate Trends and Stats






Brian Buffini has released his newly updated Real Estate Report. I'll give you some of the facts that I find relevant and interesting.


  • For Sale by Owner's are down in 2010, less than 1 out of 10 sales.

  • 95% of first time home buyers chose a fixed-rate mortgage.

  • Distressed properties make up 36% of the market.

  • Top factors influencing a buyers decision: quality of the neighborhood, convenience to work, and affordability of the home.

  • Percent of buyers who were first-time buyers increased to 50% in 2010.

  • Typical home sold for 96% of the final list price.

  • Most popular motivation for selling - current house too small.

  • Most cost effective improvement to prep the house for sale: Cleaning and de-cluttering, lightening and brightening, then staging.

If you'd like more information about the local real estate market, contact the Eisenlauer Team. We'd love to be of assistance.
