My agent sent us the statistics for our town - it definitely contradicts any national upswing. It was VERY down compared to December 07.
However, on the bright side, the new year is off with a bang (I guess the price reduction helped)! We had 4 showings on Saturday, with a two appearing quite interested. On Sunday we had an open house and 21 potential buyers showed up, with three serious potentials. We also had another showing today (Monday) which appeared very promising and will have yet another tomorrow. I asked our agent, who has been in the business for over 20 years, when was the last time he had an open house with 21 buyers showing up. He said never ... his previous record was 16.
Now we just need to change the lookers into buyers - hopefully more than one to bid the price back up.
