This is my first ever re-blog-EVER! Re-blogging a post is something that I never thought I will ever do. I might write a blog and include a link of another blog in it,but re-blogging? Never thought of it. But after reading this blog by Sheldon Neal,I had to re-blog this.

Like the comment that I left on Sheldon's blog -This blog is for potential home buyers who are not sure whether this is a great time to buy. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY. Sheldon thank you very much sir for sharing this with us. Have a great weekend.

According to April 2009 DC Real Estate Market Report,sales are picking up. So would this be a great time for you to take advantage of this home buying opportunity. My simple answer is Yes. Why? Please read my blog DC Deanwood Real Estate Market Report Zip code 20019 for April 2009.  In this blog I give three good reasons why the time to buy a house in DC is now.

Even though average days on the market have increased-which to you can be a great thing. (I will explain this later ),but home sales have increased from 368 houses sold in DC April 2008 to 417 houses sold in DC this month a 13.2% increase. So why should bad news to home sellers such as the average days of a house on the market which increased from 77 days to 92 days be good news to you the home buyer? It gives you more time as a home buyer to either save up money for downpayment and/or closing cost fees(Some sellers pay all of the home buyers closing cost fees),pay off some bills to improve your credit score to get a good interest rate and buy a house in DC that best suits your wants,needs and lifestyle without you rushing. There are too many inventory on the market for you as a home buyer to choose from.

But as of today,there is only six months left for you to take advantage of the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit for DC Home buyers . So if you need to buy a house in DC.-THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW.

Here is the DC Real Estate Market Report for April 2009

Kiplinger Magazine just released its annual top ten best cities to live in. I was very happy to see Washington DC on the list.

                                                                             Washington DC have a 5,263,322 population. Median household income is $81,163. It is of course the nation's capital,home of the Federal Government and K St NW where you will find many of the movers and shakers of Washington DC. Tourism as usual is huge here in Washington DC. Places like the White House and the Smithsonian Museum-( where the sequel to Ben Stiller's new movie Night at the Museum:Battle of the Smithsonian was shot)are places tourists like to visit. Also it is the home of Kiplinger Magazine Headquarters-I didn't ever know that.

So did your city make the list. Take a Virtual Tour of Kiplinger Magazine's top ten best cities.

Many of you of course are very familiar with Twitter and some of you aren't. Well Twitter is a service for friends,family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through quick exchange frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

Well one thing I found out Twitter is about to do is become a T.V Show.

Yes you are reading this right. Twitter is about to become a T.V Show. This company is still a private company that might go public soon. I am hearing rumors of Twitter for sale at close to $800 million. I think Twitter will be sold for more than that if they decide to go public. Then again that it is all a rumor.

Remember that candy bar commercial (I forgot which one candy bar it was) that said sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't. Sometimes I feel like writing DC Real Estate Market Reports and sometimes I don't (how many real estate agents do you know who loves doing Real Estate Market Reports when the Market is not great?). But like I've learned as a Real Estate Professional,we must always report the Real Estate news whether it is good or bad.

DC Congress Heights Real Estate Market Report zip code 20032 is not great but it is not bad either compared to the numbers last year. While home sales are up in DC Congress Heights Real Estate Market i20032 zip code area,it is taking much longer to sell them compared to last year. Average days on the market in DC Congress Heights was 86 days compared to 21 days this same time last April. However home sales were up a whooping 250%-Yeah you are reading it right-250%. But then again that's because only 7 houses in DC Congress Heights last month compared to just 2 houses this same time last year.

Highest priced DC Congress Heights house that was sold was a 3 bedroom house in the $200,000-$249,999 price range. And one thing that I was shocked to find out that out of the seven houses that were sold in DC Congress Heights,4 of them were cash buyers-MONEY!MONEY!MONEY!MONEY! $$$MONEY$$! I could use some cash buyers right now.

So here are the numbers for DC Congress Heights Real Estate Market Report zip code 20032 for April 2009

Probably one of the most asked question in America is "When will the Real Estate Market fully recover?" I like to say that the only person who can answer that question is God. Because honestly speaking no one knows. What I definitely know is that once Financial Markets fully recovers,the economy stablizes and the trust of consumers/hard working citizens who lost their jobs and savings have been gained,then maybe the Real Estate Market will start to recover-That's just my .02 cent.

But DC Anacostia Real Estate Market zip code for April 2009 was better than last month. Numbers increased all across the board. From Total Sold Dollar Volume to Units sold,the numbers this month was better than it was in April 2008 which is good news. So is this a great time to buy in DC Anacostia? Yes. Don't just take my word for it. Take a look at the numbers.

DC Deanwood is just like many real estate markets across the country-Many inventory are currently still on the market but most of them are not selling. So as a home buyer I am sure you want to know is this a great time to buy?

One thing home buyers should take into consideration is that financial markets are improving Improving markets helped banks pass stress test | Reuters. I am no Warren Buffett in a very long shot but I strongly feel that is a good sign of things getting better. Another factor to consider is the Consumer Confidence Index - The Conference Board which posted a slight increase in March improved considerably in April which is very good news. And of course you can take advantage of the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit for DC Home buyers

Now that Banks and consumer confidence are improving,hopefully reviewing this DC Deanwood Real Estate Market Report Statistics Zip code 20019 for April 2009 will help you make a better sound decision on whether its time to buy or even sell your house.
