Bases for Conclusions

The bases for the above conclusions are based on information extracted from the Pinehurst Southern Pines Area Association of REALTORS Multiple Listing Service of which I belong. Periods for comparisons were January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.
In my opinion the data showed remarkable market strength by homes holding and even increasing in value, days on market actually improved overall (less time to sell) over a whole years period even though the comparative time periods showed a decrease in the number of homes sold. Current trends do show a more cautious market, but still a healthy market.

Website(s) Activity

There are many factors that led to our websites’ increase in overall traffic including age of our sites, SEO, website development and our focusing on increasing the traffic. The bases of this report is factored more on the increase and change of our viewers search criteria during the recent past to current trend which we tend to believe is a result of the current efforts to stimulate the economy, the time of the year (selling season is right around the corner), pent up demand of people wanting to move here, people knowing what a good value real estate is in the Pinehurst area and people just trying to time the real estate market preparing to make a move. Nonetheless, real estate is still being bought and sold in the Pinehurst area in a healthy fashion.
