One key statistic I use to determine sellers ability to sell their homes is the absorption rate. I use the absorption rate to measure at what rate the market is absorbing the housing inventory. In other words, only 27% of the total for sale single family homes were sold in month of September as compared to 33% in the previous month. This has a big impact in the months of inventory calculation particularly because the total for sale inventory remained roughly the same month-over-month. If you are not selling your house in this market, I believe it may be due to poor marketing or pricing strategies. This market presents a great opportunity no home owner can afford to miss. A well prepared market analysis to determine market price, along with a well planned marketing initiative will position your house in the units sold. Thus, taking full advantage of the plethora of buyers eager to pay market price, and sometimes more, for your property.

It’s time to gather your Box Tops and help your local schools. Since 1996 Box Tops for Education has helped America’s schools acquire more than $400 million dollars. The goal of the program is to strengthen every child’s learning atmosphere.

What are Box Tops? Look on your cereal boxes, granola bar boxes, the back of your soup can labels and many more! They are the size of a postage stamp and each one you clip off is worth 10 cents! Think of how many you have in your pantry now?  As Education budgets continue to diminish this is a great way to contribute to the future Leaders of our World.

You Probably Have Quite a Few in Your Pantry Already!
