MID YEAR REVIEW…
January started with a brisk market continuing from the fall of 2009 fueled by first time buyers as they sought to get ahead of the changes: tightening      mortgage lending rules; increases in interest rates and the lead up to the      introduction of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lower Than Usual Inventory = Brisk Market
The rush to list this year has been more of a trickle    creating an imbalance in the supply demand structure which has translated into a sellers market.  We are back to experiencing multiple offer situations with the need to act quickly if you are a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2009… Bust or Boom
2010…Strong and Balanced
Last year was a roller coaster for the real estate industry.  January to April was dismal in transaction volume and May to December made up the volume missing in the first part of the year.  The total volume of sales for 2009 ended 24 percent higher than in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[November…a time to reflect
November, the month we look back from to analyze the year that has passed.

		<description><![CDATA[Has The Market Stabilized?
The headlines blare out the good news, “Island housing starts soar 46 percent”, “Unemployment edges downward”, and “Housing sales surge”. We must surely be back to the heady days of 2007.

The year 2009 will be a watershed year for Real Estate. The market as we knew it has gone. The talking heads in the media have finally admitted en masse that we are in a recession and we have now internalized it. The results have been evident for the [...]]]></description>
