The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

We visited parents/grandparents in Winchester, VA today. We counted 17 "for sale" signs in their neighborhood in just the limited scope that we had driving through the neighborhood and not down all the cul-de-sacs. Another place with a lot of "for sale" signs is the Faircrest neighborhood in Centreville.
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy going to more open houses but I have three kids under 5.
margaret,
ReplyDeletethanks for the local report. I should go check those areas out.
Frederick is so far away from DC... I hope the people living out there are working in Montgomery County, for their sake.

ReplyDeleteIt's mighty close to the I-270 technology corridor, though.
"mighty close" it's on the i-270 corridor. Also, in 2004 my wife & i purchased a 1700sq.f single family home in frederick for $265,000 putting a down pymt of $55,000.That house at one point priced at $440,000. At this moment it's at about $380,000. i do however commute 1hr.10 minutes to montgomery county (25 miles away). And the quality of life is about as good s it gets around these parts.
