Celebrating Independence Day in Montgomery AL

Thursday, July 3, 2008
by The Hat Team

Happy 4th of July, Montgomery!  Although this weekend is a time for fireworks and enjoying time with friends and family, it is also a time to remember what makes our country so great – our freedom.  So as you gather with friends and family on Friday, take a moment to thank our military—living and dead, at home and abroad—for the sacrifices they have made for us.  Because, as we all know, freedom isn’t free!

 

Be sure to check out the fireworks display and family-friendly events at the Montgomery Fourth of July Riverfront Celebration! 

 

We’ll return to discussing Montgomery AL real estate next week; however, if you would like more information about Montgomery AL real estate, please call me at 800-HAT-LADY or visit HomesForSaleInMontgomeryAlabama.com.

Montgomery AL Real Estate Sales Expected To Rise

Thursday, June 26, 2008
by The Hat Team

A modest gain in the level of Montgomery AL real estate sales is possible over the next couple months, and an improvement is forecast for the second half of this year as more buyers are able to access affordable mortgages, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors®.

 
The Pending Home Sales Index,* a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in April, rose 6.3 percent to 88.2 from a reading of 83.0 in March. It’s the highest index since last October, but remains 13.1 percent lower than April 2007 when it stood at 101.5.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said pending sales contracts have picked up notably in areas undergoing significant price drops. “Bargain hunters have entered the market en masse, especially in areas that have experienced double-digit price declines, but it’s unclear if they are investors or owner-occupants,” he said.
 
Let’s take a look at the May sales statistics to see how things are looking in the Montgomery AL real estate market:
  
Midtown Montgomery saw a 48% decrease in pending sales this May, when compared against May 2007.  Likewise, sold listings were down 34%.  While the average sales price dropped 4% to $142,820, homes were on the market for an average of 29 fewer days than in 2007.

Fantastic turn of the century Queen Anne with original stained mouldings, high ceilings, gorgeous double doors, and more accents than I have room to mention. The large Living room boasts coffered ceilings and a fireplace, and the big den family room (originally the formal DR) has a wood burning stove for cozy winter nights. The updated kitchen has retained its charm with original built-in stained cabinetry, and has a center island with Jennaire downdraft gas range and separate breakfast bar. Off the kitchen is a rear entry porch/mudroom. The central stair hall has stained glass window and graceful stairs leading to a 2nd floor landing area big enough for sitting room/game room/tv area for kids (current use.) Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms, a huge updated bath, and an enormous walk-in closet. Out back there is a rear deck overlooking a large asian-inspired courtyard and garden complete with fish pond and fountain. And, don't miss the detached guest cottage, that has been recently rented for $485/month!
