I just wanted to express my gratitude for all that you did on behalf of my family. When an employment opportunity arose we had little time to coordinate our relocation to the Houston area from the East Coast. We were so fortunate to come across your website and we are so pleased that we sent an email for more information.
When Stacy contacted us within 24 hours of receiving our email, it was apparent that he had already done a great deal of research into the neighborhoods and schools within a reasonable distance of my new office.

Home Sales Jump

Real Estate Market Information

Chalk up one more point on the economic recovery side. Housing statistics released late last week gave us the strongest reason to date to believe that the worst is definitely behind us. New home sales jumped 27% last month, which was good news coming off a record low month. Better weather and the tax incentive are largely responsible for this huge gain, the biggest month in 47 years.

New home sales were not the only sales up last month. Existing homes sales were up nearly 7% from the previous month and were up 16% from a year ago. The new homebuyer tax credit is set to expire at the end of the month, so buyers have just a few more days to find a home and secure a contract. In order to qualify for the tax credit buyers must have an executed contract by April 30, 2010 and must close before July 1, 2010. There are exceptions for those who have been serving in the armed forces.

You can read more about the new home sales increase in this article from USA Today. Stay tuned...I'm sure this year will bring more good news on the real estate front.
