Housing Report
Joe Manausa presents Tallahassee Home Sales Report January 2009 | Tallahassee Real Estate Blog posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “As I await the data from my trusted source to produce the monthly reports for real estate in Tallahassee, I felt compelled to go to the Tallahassee Board of REALTORs Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and pull some preliminary data. While the MLS is the source of information for most of the “experts” who report in the national media on home sales, I prefer to utilize all of the home sales recorded at the county.”

Local Real Estate Data
Joe Manausa presents Real Estate Tallahassee FL | Tallahassee Real Estate Blog posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “We keep a very close eye on housing inventory in the Tallahassee real estate market, because we know that inventory levels will dictate the direction in which home values travel. If inventory levels are too low, buyers have to fight over what is available, and prices rise. If inventory levels are too high, then buyers have many options, and prices fall.”
Lance Cooper presents Obama?s Stimulus Plan Is A Complete Joke posted at Recession Thoughts, saying, “The presidnet’s stimulus plan is nothing more than government waste, and government waste will not ‘pump prime’ the economy into recovery.”
Other Information
Joe Manausa presents Declining Real Estate Market | Tallahassee Real Estate Blog posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “I keep coming across articles and getting comments from readers about with whom we should place the blame for this declining real estate market. I have read that it is the banks’ fault for making money too easy to borrow. I have read that it’s the builders’ fault for building too many homes. I have even read (heaven forbid) that it’s the REALTORs’ fault for hyping real estate as if it could never be bad.”

Real Estate Market Report
Joe Manausa presents Tallahassee Home Sales Prediction | Tallahassee Real Estate Blog posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “By using the assumptions and data from our predictive model, we can projected a “normal amount of sales” for an area. We can make a real estate graph that shows what this normal or “expected” amount of sales should be for each year. We then can assume that, over time, the number of sales will be seeking that normalized amount. So if we spend a few years with more activity than normal, then we should expect a few years with less activity than normal.”
Jim Lee presents New tax credit for Knoxville, TN homebuyers posted at Knoxville Tennessee Real Estate Blog, saying, “Some good economic news for people thinking of buying a new or resale home in the greater Knoxville area.
Congress has just passed, as part of their gigantic economic ’stimulus’ package, a tax credit of up to $8,000 for persons buying a home between January 1st of 2009 and December first of the same year.

Doug Willis presents Pasadena Real Estate Market Feels January Slump posted at Up2Date, saying, “The optimism that precedes a new year was short lived at least where Pasadena real estate is concerned. Let’s face it, when it comes to real estate activity, January is, well January. This time of year is supposed to be unexciting and uneventful. From that standpoint the month certainly lived up to its expectations”
