With a bit of luck and some time, our Vernon County real estate market appears to have hopefully weathered the worst of the housing storm. It was during the past 6-month, that many buyers were noticeably standing around on the sidelines waiting to hear if it would get worse. Then others were waiting to see when and if the housing downturn would end before they would make a move.
Even though we continued to be optimistic, that's how it was last September when this home was first listed. This homeowner and I had a clear understanding between us, that we might be in for a longer than normal ride on the market. As it turned out it was 240 DOM (days on Market). The good news... Hurray... is it is closing next Wednesday! So without a lot of fuss, I just want to say Congratulations Diane! It was especially nice to have a client who kept the house clean, ready and easy to show even though you had moved away. Your grass was always cut and looking nice. Even during winter your driveway was plowed and the deck was shoveled free of snow. How very thoughtful and wonderful you were to work for. I know all the agents who showed your home commented how well it showed. But, then it just took one buyer to come along and love your comfy country home, just as much as you did!

Mary - we are experiencing the same thing. I have heard from many agents about thie local market after we posted a similar blog. They all seems to share the same theme. I'm sensing a recovery here! Crossing my fingers!
I went out there today and pulled the signs, what a great feeling. I am so happy this one sold... actually, I guess I have to really say, I am also happy when any of them sell.
Mary, congratulations. It looks like a wonderful home in a peaceful setting and you had a great seller to work with. Seems what you described about buyers coming out from the sidelines is happening everywhere now! Good luck!
Silvia, yes it might be a little better time for the remainder of the summer months, we will see what!our winter will bring. Thanks for reading.
