Buyers & Sellers don't wait around!  Just like in the stock market, you buy when the prices and rates are lowest for maximum profit in the future.  Now is the time! FHA has passed new guidelines that will make it more expensive to buy a home due to increased fees on your FHA mortgage.  Higher monthly fees, larger down payments and better credit scores are among the new initiatives.  The new rules will start taking effect as early as the end of August and will impact buyers with higher fees and increased monthly mortgage insurance amounts. The new rules will also cut the amount of seller paid closing cost from 6% to 3%.  This means it will cost you more money at closing, out of pocket, to buy a house.  Even if you need to sell a home first, getting it sold soon and being able to capture ...

July home sale market numbers for Little Rock continued on the same course as June trends. Closings for July were up by 6.25% but properties for sale in creased by 2.14%. June saw increase in both numbers but July was a much bigger increase in closings and much smaller increase in the number of properties for sale. Both very positive for the market.  The supply of homes on market remains just over a six month supply which has remained at that level since April. With the extream heat in July and a historicly slower month it will be interesting to see if the July sales can maintain this level of closings by the end of  August. With a good inventory of properties for sale and historicly low interest rates it would seem the be a great market for buyers. However there is no urgency for buyer...

After just under a 14% increase in sold homes in May, June's only showed a 3.1% increase. Obviously a result of a slowing of closings after the Tax Credit ending of contract time at the end of May. The number of listings on the market also increase in both months but instead of slowing, the number of listing increase. May had a 3.1 % increase and June had a 7.5% increase in properties on the market. These figures  lead to a decrease of days on the market in May to 93 average days on market, but lost half that with an increase in the average days on market to 97 days at the end of June. Even though interest rates remain in the 4.5% range there seems to be no real urgency for buyers to make a decision in the market.  Look for the market to become more competitive with more listings and ab...

April was a good month for home sale numbers and market trends in the Little Rock area. The number of homes that sold was up 3.3% over March six month trends and the number of listings on the market remain all most unchanged. Average Days on Market trended down by almost 3% to 102 days for all areas with over half of the market areas being at or under 90 days on market. This is a very positive move since the average days on market has been going up for the last few months. A lot of things probably contributed to this positive movement. Spring time sales period, tax credits, and great interest rates being the main ones. The tax credits are now gone but the other two factors remain in place and the economy and consumers confidence seems to be moving in a positive direction. April of 2009 ...

As the cut-off of April 30 Tax Credit Incentive nears, I am wondering how many of you depended  on this Sales Tool and whether you think We will get a "Last Minute Extension." What are your views or what have you heard (rumor mill) on any other ideas looming on the horizon as the next Housing Stimulus? I personally think unless We get some other programs or extend the present Tax Incentive the unhealthy housing market will not recove.  No matter what the experts are telling the public about housing sales being on the upswing, there hasn't been enough time to "cure"the problem. We will need more help for our Buyers if We are going to succeed in getting the Housing Market stabilized and it will take many more months to do so.

  The number of single family homes that sold over the previous six months continued to go down from a high at the end of November 2009. The number of homes of the market for sale had also been going down but this number was gone up by 4.12% at the end of March. The Absorption Rate (number of months need to sale all the homes on the market and present sales rate) went up from six months at the end of last month to seven months at the end of March. The 2009 First Time Buyer Tax Credit that ended at the end of November made a big impact in November numbers. So far the 2010 Tax Credit which ends April 30 does not seems to have had as much of a positive effect. Going into the last month of the tax credit extension, it will need to be seen if there will be a rush like we saw last November th...

It's amazing how bombarded we have become over the last few months with prospective home buyers wanting to contact us in regards to purchasing homes in the Little Rock area. We all know that the Home Buyers Credit is due to expire very soon, and due to this a lot of people are scrambling to get in contact with an aggressive buyers agent. A good amount of these people need assistance now, to be able to buy their homes as soon as possible. These people truly need an agent whom has the time and experience to respond to these inquiries. We have learned that persistence has proven to pay dividends with these inquiring families and individuals. If you are serious about having the ability to increase the amount of prospective home buyers you contact each month, we would love the chance to talk...

Exclusive Little Rock, Arkansas Home Buyer Leads call (800) 900-2807 Even through this Real Estate downward spin, we are still seeing an increased number of families relocating to cities such as: Dallas, Tampa, Little Rock, etc… Still the #1 drive is jobs, and that cannot be disputed. Although another big reason for relocation that started in 2008, was due to great foreclosure prices. Cities such as Dallas, and Little Rock have both seem dramatic drops in real estate prices, which is driving the people to purchase real etate in those cities. If you are not working with families whom want to purchase foreclosed homes, you are leaving a huge chunk of money on the table. One of the top discussions right now on RealTown and ActiveRain is in regards to boosting your business with foreclosure...

After many months trending in a positive direction for the Little Rock home sale market, for the second month in a row it has reversed and moved back. In fact a the end of January the number of sold homes was down almost 20% as compared to the end of December 2009. From the end of November sold homes for the target areas are down about 26% as compared to the end of November. As sales go down, inventories of homes for sale increased, up about 6% since the last month. These numbers result in the Absorption Rate ( time for all homes to sale at the present sales rate per month) has increased back up to over a 6 month supply and increases the Average Days on Market to 97 days. There are some factors which should be taken into consideration. After the holiday season it is normal for it to tak...

After months of a positive trend in the absorption rate of homes selling in the Little Rock area, the numbers show a slowing market at the end of December. All areas showed and decrease in number of sold homes and an increase in properties for sale on the market. Sold homes were down 6% and homes on the market increase by 8%. Looking at the numbers by price range. All price ranges slowed but the tend of the market below $400,000 being better than above that number continued to show a bigger gap. This change in the trend was to be some what expected since the holiday season is always the slowest time of the year for home sales. The absorption rate and days on market are still better than they were at the end of the first quarter of 2009. Most factors such as low interest rates, home buye...

The absorption rate and average days on the market improved in all areas except west Pulaski County and Chenal, along with Otter Creek. Of the eleven areas that are look at all but three are at or under a 6 month absorption rate and at or under 90 days average on the market.Little Rock west of I-430 and Maumelle were the best markets with under a 60 day average market time. Looking a the market by price range continues to show homes priced under $400,000 to improve and the market for homes above $500,000 to be getting slower. Both these trends have remained the same over the last few months. Improved financing terms in the Jumbo loans would greatly help this market   October             MLS Solds Avg. Solds  Active Abs.
