Thank you for visiting my web site.  I hope you have been enjoying an incredible Summer so far.

The real estate market has been very active so far this year. The interest rates are still at 50+ year lows - approximately 5.25%!!!!  Now is a great time to purchase a home.  With the Summer market, more homes normally become available as well.  As always, homes that are priced accurately and that are in very good condition, sell in a timely manner.

I had a very productive year in 2009 and was recognized as Hunt Real Estate's #4 agent in closed transactions for 2009, along with celebrating 20 years as an Associate Broker with Hunt.  I have also closed on over 1,100 transactions in my career - something I'm very proud of.

The Buffalo area seems to create its own trend, not necessarily following that of the nation.  Most areas have again gained modest appreciation, and should continue to do so.  Also, Buffalo was named the fourth best housing market in the country, #10 in the list of best places to raise a family (short commutes and home values contributed to that) and #17 for the "Bang for the Buck" - all studies by Forbes Magazine.  Buffalo was eighth in affordable places in live in the US, by CNN Money.

May you celebrate a beautiful Summer Season and take advantage of all the festivals & outdoor activities this area has to offer this time of year.  Also, have a tremendous, prosperous and healthy 2010.  Take care and stay well.
