First Quarter's done, and we're well into the Second... ??

Good grief!Where is this year going!

I recently decided to revitalize my blog (more about that later), so here I am looking at that stupid clock ticking down to -- well, of course, now it's ticking down to New Year's Eve 2010/2011.

Oh, well, Let's review. How's the Real Estate Business in Ithaca? Right now there are 741 residential properties on the market. As of today, the average days on the market is 146. The average selling price here is $184,332, and homes are selling at an average Listing Price to Selling Price of 94.93%.

For an individual agent such as myself? My first quarter surpassed my total sales in 2009; two months into the second quarter I've surpassed first quarter's numbers. And I'm psyched to push forward for my clients, getting them the best price for the homes I'm listing, and the best price for my clients who are ready to buy.
