The arrival of 2009 is bringing Oak some change along with it! The office is clean and some fresh new faces have joined the family. Desk’s are shifting and we’re having fun with a few new gadgets that Santa brought!
Despite the doom and gloom that the media spread in 2008, we’re celebrating what we felt turned out to be a great year. The volume of bank-owned properties we handled soared and this area of the market will continue to surge in 2009. How we advertise properties for our sellers who are among this foreclosure-saturated market is also changing. Buyers are ever-present and sales between Thanksgiving and the holidays were much higher than expected, (weeks that are traditionally quiet around here), proving even ourselves wrong. We had new interest and numerous offers on properties that had sat dormant for some time. Why now? Hard to say, but it tells us people are still looking to buy, and with interest rates this low, why wouldn’t they be!
Our agents are excited for all that 2009 is going to bring. We’re ready to go! Happy New Year from all of us!
