Excerpt from Meg Brooks’ Skaneateles Realtor Blog

Last year I wrote about what I thought would happen and what I resolved to do as it related to real estate, and such. There were never more than 150 listings of single family homes in the Skaneateles area at one time. We did close somewhere around 80 – the yearly update will be finalized next week at some time when all the closings are in. I had said 80 to 85 – and I’m impressed with myself!

I predict that next year will continue to be a buyer’s market, with great deals out there.

I resolve to sell more houses in 2010 than I did in 2009.

I predict that between 90 and 95 homes will sell next year in the Skaneateles area. I will go out on a farther limb by saying the breakdown will be 20% waterfront, 10% new construction, and the rest existing homes. The median price will be $350,000, similar to this year. Read entire article here.

Each week I write an update about real estate to my other blog: http://skaneatelesrealtor.blogspot.com. Please check early in the week for the latest in what’s happening in Skaneateles. If you’d like more information, please ask! You’ll see that there are comments on the last blogs requesting other information, which I then provided (as much as possible.)

And a huge thank you to Curt at http://skaneatelessuites.com for his plug on his website.

I am thrilled to be a part of Chris and Cary’s Skaneateles Talk website. I’ve been blogging away for months now on my own blog, http://skaneatelesrealtor.blogspot.com, but today I really feel as if I’ve arrived!

Yesterday was great – Chris held a “So you want to blog, do you?” workshop at Creekside at the ungodly hour of 9:30 and low and behold 10 people showed up! There were three other local Realtors, Erika from Creekside and others I didn’t know. Curt from Skaneateles Suites came to share his considerable knowledge. It was great!

After my open house today I came back to the office and, having left a request for help with Chris before, found that she had set me up with this blog. How wonderful!

I look forward to writing more, probably using this as an events and marketing page and sticking with my blogspot blog for every day articles. Please join me in thanking the Skaneateles Talk team for their help!
