Home Sales are up Nationally & in Placitas

We have some Good News!  Home sales in Placitas in February were up 300% from the previous year.  Lawrence Yun, National Association of Realtors chief economist, said we’re seeing the continuation of an uneven but higher sales pattern. “The spring home buying season looks bright because of an elevated level of contract offers so far this year,” he said. “If activity is sustained near present levels, existing-home sales will see their best performance in five years. Based on all of the factors in the current market, that’s what we’re expecting with sales rising 7 to 10 percent in 2012.”

2011 Certificate of Achievement

I just wanted to share some of my own good news.  I was recently awarded a Certificate of Achievement from the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors for having produced sales greater than $2 Million during 2011.  This honor particularly touches me as these last few years have been so tough on our real estate market.  It is really encouraging to think I was able to do this in such a difficult time. It feels like 2012 is already gearing up to be a tremendous year and I know I'll be selling lots of beautiful property.  I'm working with several hopeful sellers and quite a few excited buyers right now, and I've already sold two homes to my buyers this year.  Other than the Spring wind which is howling away out there today---Life is Good in Placitas!
