Of the 36 pending sales reported at the beginning of November, only 13 made it to a successful closing. As buyers become more educated about being preapproved, I’m not finding financing to be as much of an issue as the condition of properties. Homes with hidden problems are continuing to cause buyers to walk away and continue their search among the large selection of homes to choose from.

With the number of homes being sold in Algiers down significantly from previous years, I’m reminding sellers that they are facing some stiff competition and their homes need to be in the best possible condition before they go on the market.

November average sales in Algiers bumped back up again, but 2008 is still looking like it will end with average values somewhere between 2004 and 2005 prices. In my opinion, it’s the perfect time for home buyers in Algiers…rates are low, mortgages are still available and I’m predicting that when the Federal City is complete we will see rising values in the community.
