April, 2008              289 homes forsale,   55 sales,     19% of chance of selling.
March, 2008            271 homes for sale,  59 sales,     21.7%  chance of selling.
April, 2007              137 homes for sale,  63 sales      46% chance of selling.
(March’s chance of selling, 21.7%, was reported correctly in the April post, but the number of homes available and the number of sales was reported incorrectly.  The numbers above are the correct data for March, 2008.) 
Think price, condition, price, condition if you are thinking about selling in today’s market, know your competition and beat it in the pricing and condition.  Most likely your home will then be the one to sell.  Inventory in the area is up over 100% from last year at this time, so competition is stiff.  The homes that draw the best prices are those with the remodeled kitchens.  However, there are many homes selling without remodeled kitchens. As with all homes currently selling, these homes show well and are priced well.
