Positive Signs
When comparing 1st Half 2009 to the 2nd Half 2009, the local real estate market here in Ridgefieldis showing signs of stabilization. Unit Sales have increased and values in many price segments areholding steady. We are seeing an increase in Buyer confidence. The extension of the Federal HomeBuyer Tax Credit and historically low interest rates continue to facilitate the buyer’s decision to act now.Many area residents recognize that now is a perfect time to consider “trading up”. Another positivesignal is the movement amongst regional corporations to start relocating executives into the areaagain. We need to always remind ourselves that Real Estate is very local.
