Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:08:00 GMT

Recent statistics released from the Wichita Falls Multiple Listing System revealed that the number of homes closed and the sales volume for 2010 nearly mirrors the numbers from 2009 for the month of January. The Wichita Falls real estate market remains steady after an approximate 9% decline in 2009 from 2008. A positive note for January is that the number of placed into the market declined by 30 from January 2009. It was just announced this week bt the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce and Industry that a new call center was coming into Wichita Falls creating a possible 150 jobs which could have apositive impact on the real estate market.

Wichita Falls Real Estate 2010

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:32:00 GMT

As we evaluate the Wichita Falls real estate market 45 days into 2010, the term that seems most adequate is fragile. With interest rates still at 5% level for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage and the government stimulus plan still available until April 30th, it remains an incredible opportunity for the buyer....however the weakness in the economy from job loss and layoffs is affecting the number of buyers able to take advantage of the opportunity. In the Wichita Falls market the 2010 market is not very kind to the seller because of inventory accumulation. The Bishop Realtor Group continues to advise sellers that it is "a price war and a beauty contest." The Bishop Realtor Groups numbers for the first 45 days are solid thanks to a great lead generation program.

Good Monday morning to you!!!!

Remember that if you or someone you know is looking to buy and get the first time Home Buyer's Tax Credit, they need to be in contract by the end of April and close by the end of June.

This also goes for the $6500 Tax Credit for current home owners. Some have asked about details on this issue. They are as follows:

The credit is available for homes that go under contract by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30th, 2010.

Current homeowners can claim a $6,500 credit as long as the property they are vacating has been their primary residence for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight years.

Income limits: $125,000 a year for individuals, $225,000 a year for married couples. (these are higher limits than before)

Homes that cost more than $800,000 aren’t eligible for the credit.

Its been a great year thus far for the Bishop Team. If we can serve you or anyone you may know this week, please let us know.
