 The national median home price was reported at $208,600 in May. According to NAR President Richard Gaylord, “Home buyers are starting to get off the fence and into the market, drawn by drops in home prices in many areas and armed with greater access to affordable mortgages,” he said. “Today’s buyer plans to stay in a home for 10 years, which is a good strategy for building long-term wealth.”

Statistics from the National Association of REALTORS®

Freddie Mac reported the national average 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.04 percent in May, up from 5.92 percent in April. Despite the recent increase, overall mortgage rates are down from 6.27 percent, available May 2007.

Existing home inventory is reported at 4.49 million units. According to Lawrence Yun, chief NAR economist, “The large supply of homes on the market clearly favors buyers, and it should take several months to draw the inventory down. Stabilization in home prices can only occur with buyers returning to the market, so we are encouraged by rising home sales, particularly in distressed markets.”

A number of areas nationally are experiencing increased activity over May 2007, including Sacramento, the San Fernando Valley and Monterey County in California; Sarasota, Florida, and Battle Creek, Michigan.

Here are some client reviews of Carlyn Lowery…

“Carlyn got us a quick sale above the asking price. She qualified prospects well, used a professional photographer for advertising photos, and provided expert advice during negotiations. Carlyn is what other Realtors aspire to be!”
– Paul Donnelly

“As first time home buyers, Carlyn Lowery was very attentive to our basic needs of walking us through each step of the home buying process from a novice standpoint. The long detailed list of items due at specific times from the start of the contract all the way through to the week of closing was greatly appreciated. It was great having an agent who took the time to clearly lay this all out for us. End result – a very smooth time at settlement. No surprises!”
– Ann Hannam

“We wanted a professional who would work with us to sell our home
quickly for a good price and protect our interests as sellers through the process.
Carlyn’s business acumen is her (and will be your) greatest asset.”
– Sue Bogard

“Carlyn was wonderful. She was organized, prepared, and knew the steps to take to sell our home quickly and used a wide array of marketing to get the job done. She gave great advice
during each of the phases, and in particular on the negotiation.”
– Michael Morgan
