 Kent County Association of Realtors President Carole Kisner shared some upbeat news about the local real es tate market Tuesday morning. Carole Kisner’s quote already appeared in Wednesday’s Delaware State News.
But it’s worth repeating as we let her elaborate here on the promise of a healthy real estate market in our area.
“You’ve heard all the gloom and doom,” said Mrs. Kisner. “But, baby, we’re coming back!”
Speaking as the new president of the Kent County Association of Realtors, Mrs. Kisner wanted to send an upbeat message at a Tuesday break fast gathering for the unveiling of the 2010 Kent County Profile magazine.
Consider, she said, that Kent County homes sold in December were on the market for an average of 126 days. In November, the average was 105 days.
Pending sales have continued to increase over the past eight months and the highest since 2006, she said. Meanwhile, inventory is down about 1 percent from six months ago.
“That means things are selling,” said Mrs. Kisner.

 Recently the President signed new legislation, the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009. This new law extends the home buyer tax credit and expands it to some current homeowners. This law is not only an important step to keep the momentum going towards ensuring a real estate recovery, but also offers another great reason for buyers to purchase and sellers to list a home before Spring 2010!
We believe the substantial rise in home sales over the past few months will continue, and proves the tax credit is working and is being used by buyers who were waiting for the right opportunity to purchase a home. Extending and expanding the home buyer tax credit now enables even more families to take advantage of current low interest rates, large housing inventories, and affordable prices to invest in their future through homeownership.
