ERA Knight Realty reports record sales for August 2011
“August sales stats for ERA Knight Realty were the best monthly totals of the year for a single month” , reports Rick Knight. “We saw a slower 1st quarter this year than what we expected. Then sales started to take off this summer. Knight Realty sold over 5.7 million in real estate in the month of August. That is closed sales volume. That is an increase over August of 2010 so we are excited. We also will sale more in September 2011 than September 2010. So there is a buzz around the office that, Hey we are seeing the light at the end of th tunnel.”
ERA Knight agents are talking about the low interest rates and a new crop of young home buyers. “These guys were in college when the market was starting to slide a few years ago. Now, these young men and women are getting their careers together and looking at the interest rates and buying. ” adds Rick Knight, ” We are also seeing a lot of retired home buyers paying cash for homes. That is a good sign that prices are attractive and they see good value. Our average sales price in August was $247,826. And that really nails it about what is hot in the market. We sold in all price points this summer but the bulk is in the popular neighborhoods in the $200,000’s plus or minus. We still are seeing price pressure on the more expensive homes. But as we look to the 4th quarter we see buyers interested in getting a good price with a very low interest rate. Our Corporate Relocation business has been busy all summer. Our property management division is very busy and they are seeing prices increase because of demand. That is huge for sales. When rent prices go up, it makes buying more attractive. ”
