How Do Our Real Estate Sales This Month Compare to Previous Years?
September 29th, 2008 Categories: Haywood County Market Reports, Maggie Valley Market Reports, Waynesville Market Reports
Month-end is approaching and people are asking me how Waynesville real estate sales this September compare to previous years, as well as the Maggie Valley real estate sales. Closings in Haywood County for the period September 1 month through September 27, 2005 totaled 106; 2006 totaled 85 ; 2007 totaled 64 ; and this year, September closings through the 27th totaled 39.
Comparison to Previous Years.
Simply put, we have had sixty-three percent (63%) fewer closings this year (for 09/01 through 09/27) than for the same period in 2005, the ‘best’ year in this comparison. Closings have steadily declined since 2005. Our absorption (inventory) remains at approximately 28 months, which is redundant when looking at the reduction in sales.
Keep your eye on the numbers!

Wondering How to Check Your Bank’s FDIC Insurance Status?
September 28th, 2008 Categories: Best of ...., Hot Local Topics
While trying all weekend to post market reports and photos (considered media uploads) on my site (and not being able to!), I ran across this great article about a very timely subject, your Bank’s FDIC insurance status, written by Janeese Jackson.
“With the wild ride that banking institutions and insurance companies have been on lately, you might wonder how safe is your money? You can check out a bank’s FDIC insurance status by going to the FDIC’s Bank Find tool and typing in the name of the bank.”
Read more about Your Bank’s FDIC Insurance Status.
Please check back soon for photos and market reports! They are ready to go once the Real Estate Tomato guys find all my !@#$% emails!
