New Listing at 904 Fairway Drive in Bent Tree
This is an increase of 5 homes sold since the last report. I am pleased to report that I participated in two of them. I represented the Pattersons who left their lovely lakefront cabin on Blue Surf to join family on the West Coast and the Baragars who purchased a house on Southview Trail and have already begun making it their own home. Three of my clients this year have purchased homes in Bent Tree and are creating dramatic new changes to make their new houses their personal homes. In the next few weeks there will be a series of articles about all 3 of them. I hope you will check in to see what progress they are making.
In 2007 there had been 32 sales in Bent Tree through October. So sales are down about one third, but there are certainly still sales going on. Because the market is slow there are some lovely homes on the market at very attractive prices. If your stock portfolio has underperformed this year, it might be a good time to make an investment in a 2nd home or investment property. If you are looking for a new permanent residence, some of the permanent residences available are just unbelievable values and interest rates are still very attractive. Just in case you are wondering – local banks have money and they are closing loans. All 3 of my closings this month were funded on time and closed without a hitch. (more…)
