Know the Numbers!

Is it ok to share this good news with you???  I sure hope so!  Our national media reporting bad news about some other part of the country should not scare you, last time I checked, Las Vegas home values had nothing to do with what my home in St. Louis would sell for or if my home in St. Louis would sell.  My home didn’t appreciate 65% in two years like Las Vegas’ did from 2003 to 2005 and I don’t expect it to decrease in the way their home values are right now.  There is something to be said for being in the safe stable Midwest.  We just typically don’t participate in wild market swings like some other parts of the country.  Now more than ever, the agent you hire makes a difference.  Be sure you are working with a trusted real estate adviser who can show you LOCAL market statistics.
