It’s time for Little League

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Well, we finally made it thourgh the snow and horrible winter through the spring rains and now it’s time for Little League Baseball.

We here at RE/MAX Maple Leaf Realty in Bennington are so excited to have the pleasure of sponsoring a little league instructional team this year.  I visited one of the games this past week and what a joy to see these little children having such a great time playing ball.  Kudos to the many volunteers that make this time possible.

We here at RE/MAX Maple Leaf Realty in Bennington decided to, with the assistance of the other sponsors, have a season end Pizza and Ice Cream party for the players.  That party will take place at the little league field pavilion on Saturday, June 11 after the games are completed, approximatley 11:00 am.  So don’t forget to mark your calander if you are the parent of an instructional league ball player.

And mom’s and dad’s, grandma’s and grandpa’s don’t forget to give me a call at RE/MAX Maple Leaf Realty here in Bennington, VT for all of your real estate needs.

PLAY BALL…..                              Bonnie

Home Sales Update

2010 weakest year for home sales since 1997

WASHINGTON – The number of people who bought previously owned homes last year fell to the lowest level in 13 years. But home sales in December jumped to fastest pace in seven months.

The National Association of Realtors says sales dropped 4.8 percent to 4.91 million units in 2010. That was slightly lower than 2008, which had been the weakest level since 1997.

Home prices have been depressed by a record number of foreclosures and high unemployment. Many potential buyers held off on purchases last year, fearful that prices hadn’t bottomed out yet.

The poor year for sales ended strong in December. Buyers snapped up homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.28 million units, an increase of 12.8 percent from November and the strongest sales pace since last May.

Still, many economists believe it will take years for sales to rise to a normal level of around 6 million units a year. And some say 2011 will be even weaker than last year because more foreclosures are expected and home prices are likely to keep falling through the first six months of the year.

The foreclosure crisis has left a glut of unsold houses on the market. That has played a major role in lowering home prices.

For December, the inventory of unsold homes stood at an 8.1 months supply, down from 9.5 months supply in November. That represents the amount of time it would take to sell the remaining supply of homes on the market at the December sales pace. A normal inventory supply is six months.

Even historically low mortgage rates have done little to boost the sales.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose to 4.74 percent this week from 4.71 percent the previous week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. The average rate on the 15-year loan, a popular refinance option, slipped to 4.05 percent from 4.08 percent.

The 30-year loan rate reached a 40-year low of 4.17 percent in November, and the 15-year mortgage rate fell to 3.57 percent, the lowest level on records dating back to 1991.

For December, sales were up in all parts of the country with the strongest gain a 16.7 percent increase in the West. Sales rose 13 percent in the Northeast, 10.1 percent in the South and 11 percent in the Midwest.

The median price for a home sold in December was $168,800, down 1 percent from a year ago.

Snow Storm

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

Well, were back doing business as usual here in the beautiful area of Bennington VT after that snow storm that started on Sunday and went through Monday afternoon.   It kind of paralized the real estate world as it was very hazardous trying to get around.  I do want to thank the town and state workers for all they did to keep the roads open the best as possible.  What a great bunch of workers who worked throughout the night and day to make the roads passable.  

So  it’s business as usual and we hope that we will hear from you to help with selling your home or buying a new home, here in the Bennington VT real estate market.  Don’t forget that we cover most of Bennington county as well as a portion of Windham county, and now we go over the line into New York.
