Promising signs for the 2010 Real Estate Market
By: Gracee Arthur
Just before Christmas writer Ann Brenoff contacted me for an article she was writing about the December real estate market. The common belief is that there is little real estate activity at this time of the year, however anecdotal stories prove this may be simply a myth. I went into the files in the deep recesses of my brain and lo and behold recalled my own terrific Christmas sale story which also, as it turns out, was the precursor to a terrific market in the year that was to come!
The year was 2003 and I had a listing that had been on 
the market for over 170 days. The home, formerly belonging to the late comedian Sam Kineson and built by local architect Harry Gesner, was located on the Encinal Bluffs with beach access. The architectural with an ocean view was round and that made it a special house that needed a creative thinking buyer. Dredging up this forgotten story reminded me of what a good year 2004 was in real estate
Now, back to Christmas 2009 during which I was out showing property both weeks of the holiday season including 6 showings on a condo I have listed (and which has an offer coming in on it)! I think 2010 is going to be a good news year for the real estate market and if you are a Buyer sitting on the sidelines this may be the moment you want to take the plunge. If you would like to read more Christmas real estate stories including mine go to Housing Watch.
Happy New Year!!
