Montgomery’s Economic Outlook Promising, Experts Say

by The Hat Team

Below are some highlights from a recent article in the Montgomery Advertiser that speaks of good news for Alabama’s economic outlook: 

 

Compass Bank hosted its Business Leader Confidence Index luncheon last Wednesday, and two experts said the economy is sending mixed signals that largely depend on where they originate and how large of an area they cover.  While the economic outlook for the nation as a whole is not great for at least the beginning of 2008, leaders agreed that the outlook for Montgomery is quite good.

"I think it is quite decisive," Sam Addy, president of Compass Bank, said. "People have good reasons to be optimistic.'

Locally, those reasons are obvious, he said.

Home prices over the past 10 years are up less in Montgomery than either nationally or statewide.

Montgomery's per capita income is 93 percent of the national average -- the highest it has ever been, he said -- and it is higher than the state average.

Alabama and Montgomery are in danger of creating jobs faster than they can fill them, meaning people are moving to the state and area.

He said business leaders trace that growth to a working partnership between government and industry.

Buyers Beware When Investing in Foreclosures in Montgomery AL

by The Hat Team

As we discussed previously, the rate of foreclosure is rising at breakneck speed all across America.  A few weeks ago I provided a link to an article full of great advice on how to avoid foreclosure.  This week I want to look at the issue from another angle – from the perspective of those looking to capitalize on the trend by investing in foreclosures and – they hope – selling them for a hefty profit.

 

While this seems like a great idea on the surface, considering the abundance of foreclosed-upon homes that are becoming available, potential investors should use caution and take the time to investigate what they may be getting themselves into when purchasing property at auction or from a bank.

 

As this article on RealEstateJournal.com details, there are caveats to investing in foreclosures.  If you are thinking of investing in a property with the hopes of flipping it for a quick re-sale, you should first consult an experienced Realtor to get a clear picture of the current real estate market in your area.  If homes are not moving off the market quickly, you could end up with a property that won’t sell and ends up costing you in the long run.  Also, some homes may come with major structural damage, hidden liens, or utility bills that need to be paid.  Since these properties generally cannot be inspected prior to purchase, it is important to decide in advance how much you are willing to invest in improvements over and above the purchase price of the property.

Montgomery AL Market Trends Report

by The Hat Team

Conditions in the mortgage market are improving for consumers, which should help to release some pent-up demand in early 2008, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors®.

Lawrence Yun, NAR senior economist, notes that widening credit availability will help turn around home sales.  “Conforming loans are abundantly available at historically favorable mortgage rates.  Pricing has steadily improved on jumbo mortgages since the August credit crunch, and FHA loans are replacing subprime mortgages,” he said.

Let’s take a look at the September sales statistics for midtown Montgomery to get a better idea of what the future may hold:

As in August, the number of pending sales dropped 39% in September 2007 compared to September 2006.  Likewise, the number of homes sold dropped 27%.  This lull in sales resulted in increased market times - 103 days this September compared to 91 days last September - a 12% increase. 

On a positive note for sellers, the average sales price continued to increase - from $134,907 in September 2006 to $156,726 this September - a 14% increase. 
As the mortgage market begins to improve, it is likely that we will begin to see an improvement in market activity in midtown Montgomery.

 On a personal note, wish you all could have been here Saturday for the first ever Cloverdale Streetfest.  As the photo indicates, the crowd was huge and a grand time was had by all.  My team hosted a fortune teller with all donated proceeds going to the Montgomery Humane Society.  Many clients and friends stopped by to express their gratitude for the event--free to all attendees--and to suggest that it become an annual affair!

Of course, the real estate market in midtown Montgomery is always changing from month to month and neighborhood to neighborhood.  To learn more about the current Montgomery AL real estate market, please call me at 800-HAT-LADY or visit HatTeam.com.
