I am coming off maternity leave long enough to post this weeks weekly market activity report. I just couldn’t resist. Thanks to Mark Allen for this Real Estate version of “Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the market,
Realtors were selling houses in the Twin Cities, some wearing parkas.
For the week ending December twelfth there was such a clatter,
Pending sales flattened out, unlike a step ladder.
542 for the week, which was 2.5 percent under last year,
When market volatility was in the stratosphere.
New listings were down to a more normal fashion,
With 1,028 added this week, a stable ration.
Santa may be bringing sellers some Christmas luck,
With the laws of supply and demand in flux.
“On Original Price, on Days on Market!” he calls,
But Housing Affordability makes sellers feel mighty tall.
With just one week left in the year 2009,
The Twin Town Market looks to end just fine.

Wishing you Merry Christmas and a prosperous and joyful New Year.
