September Blog            Wow, almost fall, what happened to summer and the Real Estate market?   Many, many years ago this area was prone to seasonal selling, that is, in the summer months business was always a bit better than the dead of winter.  However prior to the bust and in the boom days, it was busy all year long.  We did see more activity this summer than the first of the year so that was good.   

I don’t think the ripple effect of the foreclosure market has hit Montrose as of yet and I really hope we don’t see too many foreclosures as it will impact the market. 

Ok, enough on what may be bad and let’s take a look at what is extremely good.  Thought occurred to me last week.  Location, Location, Location does and will work with homes and by golly it works with towns and areas.  We really live in a great area and folks will always come to a good area vs. a bad one.  So Montrose is very lucky because we have such great surroundings and it is a great town and Real Estate will always be a  bit better here than other not so desirable areas. 

Many of you have been on my web site and many of you are reading this now on my site.  My wife Marilyn put this together around 1999 and we have had tremendous success with it, in providing you timely and good information on what was for sale in the area along with other community info.  We are always open to hear from you on what you would like to see and any changes we could make that would make your search easier and more effective.  Drop me an e-mail and we will definitely take a look.  scott@montrose-realestate.com 

BTW  Marilyn fell a couple of weeks ago on our first camping trip of the season and broke her leg in two places.  She will be on crutches for at least 6 weeks. She is not a very happy camper at this time, probably because of the crutches and my cooking. Drop her an e-mail if you have time.  Marilyn@montrose-realestate.com 

If you searched for homes on my web site in the last week or so you may start getting my Realty Times newsletter.  It comes out once a month.  Great product with great info.  If you don’t want to receive it, just let me know. 

Thanks to everyone who uses my web site for their home search, and please let us know how we can help.  Even if you are a couple of years out on buying or just poking at the market, we do have some great tools to keep you updated and we really would appreciate your business.  Our youngest daughter Kyndall will start college this Friday, so we need the money. 

Montrose-realestate.com just put on the first of what I hope will be many concerts this last weekend.  We had Sharon Paquette and Andrea Bensmiller come in from Las Vegas.  They along with some great talent from Montrose (Yvonne Meek) put on a great show at our Pavilion.  We hope to have another concert early December with one of the members from the Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons group.  That should really be great.  Stay tuned for more details. The goal is to provide excellent entertainment for the residents of Montrose. Just another way that makes this a great place to live.
