Prudential Verani’s Web Statistics for January 2009 vs. 2008 & 2007

Looking at the numbers below we are still experiencing a decrease in buyer online activity. What we are experiencing is our listings are getting more showings this year than last year and that tells me we are still seeing more activity even during these hard economic times.  Monika and I have been a lot busier this time of year than we were during this same time frame last year.

Page views are up from last year. Also, showings have doubled which is a great sign that buyers are out there looking. Home Sales in Derry, NH are up 20% from last year. So, looking at these stats confirms to me that sales are picking up and as we know NOW is the best time in history to buy  a house. Interest rates are at an all time low and inventories are still up so that means there are plenty of homes for buyers to view and prices have declined to about 2002/2003 prices.
