I know, it's shocking, but true! One sign that the market is picking up is an increase in visitors per listing. I have personally seen a HUGE increase in potential buyers visiting my listings this year versus last year. Tracking new construction deals is another sign of market transistion. Builders are doing away with concessions, and this is a sign that the market is improving. The experts report that by the end of 2008 we will be in a seller's market. So sell while you can still turn around and buy another home at the historically low interest rates!

Best Area Restaurant
I recently posted this topic on Trulia voices (see link below). If you haven't joined Trulia voices yet, then I highly recommend it. Although it focuses on Real Estate FAQ's, there are all sorts of information on the website. I'm a happy contributor and reader!
I'm curious, what is the best restaurant in your area? In Dayton, I'd say Thai 9 - great sushi and thai dishes! For breakfast, Golden Nugget - they have great pancakes!

The economy is horrible! Home sales are way down!
The economy is horrible! Home sales are way down! Blah, blah, blah!
That is all the media reports anymore. The truth is, the economy and housing market are on upswings according to the experts. It is predicted that by the end of the year we will be in a seller's market. We have actually had slight appreciation in Montgomery County home values. Now is the BEST time to buy! Interest rates are low and there is a lot of inventory available. If you are thinking of selling, why wait until interest rates are high and there aren't many homes available? Be smart - get while the getting is good and BUY NOW! My husband and I are real estate investors, and now is the perfect time to invest if you haven't already. Whether you are buying in order to rent a property, or buying and flipping there are a lot of great deals out there. Take advantage of short sales! Happy house hunting!
If you aren't familiar with short sales, feel free to contact me at anytime.

Flooring is the Best Way to Update a Home
I live in Oakwood, Ohio surrounded by 50+ year old colonials and swiss chalets. Many of these 1950's era homes still sport the decor of yesterday, so the homes are priced relatively low making them a great deal for investors willing to put in some elbow work as designers!
In this investors opinion the best way to update a home is flooring (next to updating the kitchen). In older homes hardwood floors can usually be found under carpeting. By simply sanding and varnishing the hardwood flooring can be easily restored. Although it is not traditional, cork flooring is an eco-friendly option. Vinyl flooring is durable. My favorite flooring option is the newest trend - frize carpet. For those of you who don't know, frize carpet is a semi-shag carpet that is heavenly soft. The sellers at my listing located at 6420 Shirecliff Court in Centerville just updated their living room with frize carpet and we've received rave reviews!
What do you think is the best way to update a dated home?
