INTRODUCTION
*First of all the numbers in this weekly update for active listings only will be a little bit different then last weeks. Some realtors did not properly market their property at Fairfax Ridge. What this means ... If I could not find it... a vast majority of other agents could not find it. Which means... a lot of buyers were not seeing their listings. Make sure you hire a competent realtor.
As of today (October 24, 2008 12 PM), there are 21 active listings in MLS and 4 condos that are currently under contract and 1 that has sold in the last 30 days.

A good thing to remember though is yes you might be taking a hit on selling your condo now, but..... the next home you buy, you know you will be buying it at a much lower price than you would have , if you bought it 3 years ago. So look to build equity in a townhome or single family home, if you are living within your means.
Also after talking with our lenders it looks like for some people they might have to sell their condo if they are going to buy another place. Because lets say your condo is worth 300k and you are thinking yeah I will just rent it out and buy a townhome for 400k. Well new lending restrictions will require you to qualify for a loan for the price of both of those (700k) they are not taking into consideration rental income now. So some owners will just have to sell their condo to move up to a townhome or single family.
As always we would love to help you reach your real estate goals. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need any information.
