Dennis – We hear a lot about REO’s, foreclosures and short sales being a large part of the sales activity in many local markets.  Do you know what percentage of the current activity in St. Charles County would be these types of sales?  Also, please tell us how they affect your market.

Karen – I do not have the percentage of REO/Foreclosures/Short Sales nor can I say that they do not exist but St. Charles County has not been as adversely affected as some areas in the Metropolitan area by these types of sales.  Some people can see that this is an opportunity for these “distressed” homes to be sold and brought back up to market value.  I see this as a chance to revitalize neighborhoods that may have been affected by an increased number of foreclosures.

Dennis – What do you feel are the best opportunities today for home buyers in St. Charles county? Continue reading “St. Charles County Association of REALTORS(R) Presidents’ view of the market – Final Post“

Dennis – Where do you see the real estate market in St. Charles County at now?

Karen – I see the market recovering; there has been an increase in pending sales in St. Charles county over this time last year.  That trend has been seen for the past 4 months now in the County.

Dennis – That’s encouraging news and also is fairly consistent with what I have seen in the metro market.  Now, lets talk about home prices.  People in most markets would be happy just to see some price stabilization and aren’t even talking about any appreciation in the near future.  Has, or is, St. Charles County seeing any price stabilization at this point?  Any idea when appreciation may come back into existence?
