Wow! A big week for closings…..Wondering if now we’re over the hump of lenders having to use the new GFE-Good Faith Estimate. We have not seen this many Equity Sales close in one week in I can’t remember and the high closing was in the $700,000 range and the low was in the $200,000 range. For weeks we’ve had closings under $200,000.

Wow! A bunch of closings this week.

Most likely because people were trying to cash in on the first time homebuyer tax credit which was set to expire at the end of November.

A light week for closings due to the holiday.

Seems just about everyone is checked out for the most part. I put a REO/Bank Owned listing back on the market after the appraiser blew up the deal by triggering excessive lender required repairs. The property is the second least expensive on the market and I’ve only gotten about 5 calls so far.
