Wagner Realty Red Tag Sale

Hi Everyone,
Wagner Realty is running a repeat this coming weekend (Feb 23 and 24) of our Red Tag Sale Event. If the sellers of properties we have listed wish to participate, their listing will be offered for this weekend only at 10% off the list price. Some properties will be held open during the course of the weekend, and many others will just be advertised at the reduced price.
We last ran this program in October and sold a number of properties as a direct result of the promotion. Since activity is better now, we are expecting good response to this weekend promotion. A large advertising campaign has already started and will features details on the participating listings in this Saturday's Bradenton Herald Real Estate Section.
This is an excellent opportunity to get that home or condo you might have been wanting at a greatly reduced price. We also welcome participation from agents with any other company.
Please see the details section of my listings on my website at www.aliceohme.com for specific details on the participating listings. I look forward to seeing and hearing from you this coming weekend
I'll let you know how this program turns out.
Thanks,
Alice Ohme, Realtor, Wagner Realty

Manatee County Real Estate Market is Active!

Hi Everyone. Well, the local real estate market is getting better still since my last post. I put together three contracts the last 10 days, one on a manufactured home, one on a condo, and one on a single-family home. So, our activity has been pretty much across the board. I've been busy! A lot of the activity, however, is still with the lower priced properties, but we are seeing increases in activity on more expensive homes, as well.I hope this is not just a seasonal thing and that this increase in activity will continue even after our tourist season ends about the end of April. With interest rates at historical low levels, I think it will continue. Isn't it hard to believe that a person can now get a 30-year fixed rate mortgage for somewhere in the 5.5 to 5.75% range? We are even starting to see investors coming back into the market (however very cautiously!). Folks, NOW is the time if you've been waiting to buy. Low Interest Rates, Huge Inventory and lots of selection now!Anyway, this is an entirely different market picture here in Manatee County than it was a year ago today. What a difference!I'll keep you posted on how this is going. Let me know your thoughts and experiences, as well. I'd love to have your post on my blog.Please go to my website at http://www.aliceohme.com/ for slideshows and virtual tours on all of my listings. I'm never too busy for YOUR business.Have a great day!Alice
