October home sales for Traverse City and our five-county area are up 5% from September sales numbers and have increased more than 8% from October 2008, as reported yesterday by the Traverse City Record Eagle. The article also reports improved national sales numbers as well.
We did see a significant increase in buyer activity leading up to the original tax credit deadline of November 30th which has helped contribute to these improved sales numbers. We hope that the extension of the tax credit to April 30th of 2010 will continue to help boost the Traverse City real estate market through the winter months and into spring.
Great deals, especially in and near downtown Traverse City, are going very fast. If you’re looking to buy, be sure to sign up for our automatic email service that will send you Traverse City area new listings as soon as they come on the market. And if there are any questions I can answer about the tax credit or any Traverse City real estate questions in general, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
