I just had to share this. Today I received a call from a buyer. This buyer called another local national company prior to me in the area to see homes. The other agent said there was only one house in their price range.  After I did a search I surprisingly found 8 in that price range. The reason why the other agent said 1 (one) is that is how many listings the agent has in that price range. The buyer was surprised to know that there were 8. My comment was "we show every ones listing". The agent said something that the buyer did not like and the next call was me. We here this often from buyers in my area about this same agent. I am not sure why select agents do not show other agents listings to me it is a disservice to the public.       Keller Williams Real Estate 601 Bethlehem PikeBuildi... 07/17/2009

Daily Real Estate News said:   Windmill Saves Owners 25 Percent of Energy Homeowners who want to go green and are looking for a source of alternative energy might consider the Windspire by Mariah Power.The 1.2 kilowatt-producing mini-windmill can cut a typical household's energy use by 25 percent in an area where the wind speed averages 12 mph. In urban Raleigh, N.C., near where the Windspire is being reviewed at North Carolina State University, the turbine will produce only 5 percent to 10 percent of a household's energy, says Brian Miles, a wind energy specialist at N.C. State's Solar Center. The Windspire costs $6,500, plus $4,000 for installation. Federal tax incentives will help cut the out-of-pocket cost. Many states also offer tax incentives.

NAR said: Despite weakening second home purchases in 2008, the long-term demand looks favorable for the second-home market because there are large numbers of people in the prime years for buying a second home. Currently, 39.2 million people in the United States are ages 50 to 59-a group that dominated sales in the first part of this decade. An additional 44.8 million people are between 40 and 49, and another 40.7 million are 30 to 39.

The market in Arrowhead Lakes is once again starting to pick up steam. As of this writing there are 106 Active listings, 32 Closed for the year 2009 and 12 more pending or 'under contract for sale'. The pendings are a clear sign that the 'buyers' are starting to 'buy' in this 'buyers market'. For all of the fear that the cable news world puts out there the numbers stand for themselves. The true "Buyers" realize that now is the time for a deal and are taking advantage at still ever low mortgage interest rates as well as discounts on homes and are taking thier piece of Pocono Pleasure by the horns! Personally I can feel the momentum getting bigger than previous years. Used to be a wave of momentum that starts to build can carry you through three or four months with business but this wave ... 07/06/2009
