Rental Home Demand Up Now!
If there is a common thread in the local real estate market and that of our
nation, it is the fact that rental homes are becoming more popular than in the
past. Census figures show that the homeownership rate fell to 66.9 percent in
the third quarter of 2010, which is not surprising given the troubled economy.
This shift can be accounted for in a number of ways including foreclosures, job

RE/MAX Sales Soar!
In the backdrop of what appears to be a
protracted housing recession for the country at large, RE/MAX of Hot Springs
Village continues to experience very strong sales.
"March goes down in the books as one of the
strongest months we’ve had in the past 3 years," remarked Jeff Hollansworth ,
owner of RE/MAX in the Village. "All the national metrics for home sales and new
construction are in the tank and we just finished a month where our agents put
35 homes under contract. You have to go back almost 3 years ago to see this kind
of activity and we're hopeful that this portends well for the remainder of the
spring selling season." ...more |

don't expect a miraculous reversal overnight. ...more |

"Boomers" Are Different
Did you know that the National Assoc of Home Builders (NAHB) has a “50+
Housing Council” that caters exclusively to the growing “baby-boomer”
generation? That’s the kind of attention this age group is sure to receive as
the number of households in the 55+ age group is expected to grow from its
current 38% to almost 45% of households, by the year 2019. And, that group has
high homeownership rates: while the U.S. as a whole has about a 67% ownership
rate, those 55 to 74 own homes at an 80% clip. ...more
