| Multiple Offers? | Yes |
| Multiple Offers Commentary | Although most properties are not getting multiple offers, some definitely are and they are the short sales and foreclosures. There are still quite a few of them on the market, which is keeping the prices down and stable for now, but more and more of these are selling faster, and less are on the market everyday. Soon, when all the distressed properties are almost totally gone, the prices will start to rise steadily. However most of the properties that are priced correctly are selling much faster(usually 50% to 60% faster) than those that are not priced correctly. |

| Is Financing Available For Qualified Buyers? | Yes |
| Comments on Financing For Qualified Buyers | For the most part, financing is readily available, especially for any type of property other than a resort style condos. These types of loans have become extremely tough, even for the very well qualified buyer. The good news is, there are still lenders willing to give resort style condo loans, but they are not as easy as they once were. Please call me for more details. |
