Hi, Marc,

Pretty maps. Have you noticed less comments on the localism posts latelya? I think mine are invisible!!!  Hope you get lots of results... the kind you can take to the bank!

Jan -  Thank you very much.  I don't have a problem with that.  I write these posts for the general public.  I wouldn't think that realtors would be interested in this.  I must admit that I don't comment on too many localism posts myself.

Marc,

Good point!  I was just wondering if there was some crazy thing going on with my localism button!  Thanks for being encouraging and keeping me on track!  And your localism posts are really nice.  Good job.

Jenn - Back at you!  You're just too sweet.  Are you going to Bloggers Connect in July.  Oh geez, wait, Im going to be visiting family in Banks - duh!

Marc-

The last little bit here (the ZERO condos sold in January) is actually pretty telling.  With condos needing at least 10% (probably more starting in March) down as a purchase, the already hurting condo market is going to really be decimated.  Are you taking condo listings (not luxury condos--those don't completely seem to be hurting yet) or only FHA-approved condo listings?  I'm considering taking a condo listing that's in an FHA-approved community, as long as they go along with my pricing.  I was about to the point of not taking any non-FHA-approved condos but got a call just yesterday from an owner that basically said he'd do whatever it takes to sell (he doesn't really owe a mortgage on the property) and is willing to do a Seller-held second on the property.  I'm still thinking about it but I'll probably do it, again--only if the price is what I would suggest. 

But it's good to see that homes are still selling.  ;)

Lisa -  That's all well and good, but you are thinking too much about it.  I just picked up the papers a couple of hours ago for a 2/2 condo for $107K - no FHA.  The owner is well aware of the market and I've informed him about whatever I know.

I appreciate graphs and illustrations, too. Wow, you guys seem to have an awful lot of lakes in your area. That's what those blue spots are, right? I thought Minnesota was the land of ten thousand lakes, OK, that's controversial and I hear there are more, but Florida, yowza!

Elizabeth - Yes, we have lots of lakes.  That's why in the summer we generally have rain in the late afternoon/early evening.  With the sun all day it evaporates the water and therefore comes back down in the evening.

Marc~Your market reports look fantastic with the maps you are using and your logo is very catchy.  How are yo creating that type of map?

Julie - Thank you very much.  I'll send you an email.

Interesting disparity in prices by area!  It's great that you have some areas for fist-time home buyers.  I also find it interesting that SFR's in both high and moderate prices look to be selling better than very affordable condos!
Posted by Lake Norman Real Estate ~ Diane Aurit (LKN Realty, LLC) about 1 year ago
Diane - That's what surprised me as well.  There were six homes that sold for $1M or more.  It tells me that the high-end market is picking up again.  Unfortunately, the condo market will take some time to recover.  We had too many conversions over the past several years and the market is a glut.  I decided to do these statistics by zip code because of that disparity in some areas.

Marc, you've really offered a comprehensive analysis of the market here. As to Single Family homse sales my area is quite disparate as well with the high and low sales prices.
