Missouri Living at it's BEST!

According to our local statistics, single family homes sales in Stone County MO last month totaled  31 single family homes.  The highest priced one sold for $842,000 and the lowest priced one sold for $26,000.  The median price for homes last month was about $180,000.  That is 3 more than the previous months on-site-built single family homes sold .  Just the kind of news we hoped for the Stone County and Table Rock Lake area's Real Estate Market.  

Condo sales was also better with 8 condos sold.  The highest price was $250,000 and the lowest was $28,000.  The medium price was about $95,000 which was close the  previous months condo sales medium price so fairly stable in this part of the market.

Real Estate Market information is local and there is good financing available at great rates for buyers with qualified credit.  For owners this is great news and a good price is now possible on your home or other investment property.  Naturally, whether you should buy or sell depends upon your particular circumstances more than any other factor. 

If you would like to go over your situation and get an honest evaluation of whether you are in a good "time to buy or sell" I will be glad to help.  You can call my cell (417)350-9743 or if you want to see what is going on in this area click here: Search Listings Here !!!

According to our local info, Branson site-built single family homes sales last month total was 24 homes sold.  The highest priced one sold for $270,000 and the lowest priced one sold for $42,000 with a median price of $146,000.  That is 4 less homes than the previous month's sales total and a lower median.  With the end of the tax incentive it is an expected dip in sales.

 Condo sales were way up with 16 closing escrow last month.  The highest one sold for $252,500 and the lowest sold for $46,500.  These condos had a much higher median price of $103,000, so that is real good news for condo owners and equalled the medium price around Table Rock Lake in Stone County last month.

Market information for land, farms, and mobile-home sales as well as other local information is available by request.  Real estate is always local and there is no problem getting financing for good buyers and a fair price for good property, if you know the market.

Whenever people tell me they are looking for land I get involved with a passion.  I love to show land because of the views you get traveling around the Ozarks seeing all the natural beauty.  There is land you can farm, land for grazing, timber land, residential lots, ranchland, upland, bottomland, wasteland, land with live water, waterfront land, waterview land etc. 

The more questions I have asked, the better picture of what type of land is wanted.  Even though that helps tremendously, you still need to see a lot of land before you can really get a picture of their need. 

Showing houses is a lot like showing land but there are only some many available that will fit the kind of criteria most search questions help narrow your choices down to.  True, there may be several that are close but I find I can get closer to knowing what to show people sooner when dealing with house hunting than looking for land.  Yes, I do enjoy helping people find the home they really are looking for and find it very rewarding and fulfilling when they say they have fallen in love with this house.  Mission accomplished and usually in less time that I would expect after showing several that did not seem close. 

But it just never goes that way with land hunting and the hunt is what I enjoy, which is probably why I love searching for the parcel my clients have pictured in their mind the most, because it really is the most challenging.  We will look for two or three times longer for a piece of ground that is just what my clients want than for a house they have pictured in their minds.  Every land search takes that much longer and is that much more challenging in my opinion.  Knowing the challenge it presents and the hunt involved must get the "old hunter" going in me and makes my ears perk up every time I hear, "We are looking for some land"  Yahoo, here we go again, around the Missouri Ozarks on my rounds.

If you would like to see some great Ozarks Land listings you can go to my website and see more than you probably have time to but feel free to go back whenever you like. http://www.ozarksagent.com is my homesite or you can emailto: steve@ozarksagent.com and I will send you whatever you would like to see directly from the MLS.  Call Steve direct (417) 350-9743 and get all the help and information you nee.

I snapped a quick photo of some hay spread out on the field by a local farmer and thought, what about the deer.  Then I remembered, they are primarily nocturnal feeders and will probably be out here tonight cleaning up after the cattle have gone to sleep.  I kow cattle sleep at night because one of the local fun things to do in the Ozarks is to go cow tipping.  Just grab a flashlight and a couple of bubbas and you are in for a night of hysterical fun, that does nothing to please your neighborhood cattlemen.  Well, we've enjoyed the snow for a few days and are ready for it to go away so we can get ready for the big bass to start moving up into the shallow water again, so come on sunshine, come on spring, come on warmer days and nights.  Waiting for fishing season is almost as tough as it was to wait on Santa way back when.
