Dear Friend,

As you have no doubt noticed, nearly everyone has an opinion about the state of the real estate market. The most vocal opinions are being expressed on television, on the Internet, in print media and on the radio. The problem is, many of these opinions tell only one side of the story.

For example, lower home prices and large inventories make this an ideal market for first-time homebuyers, people looking to move up to a larger home and real estate investors. In addition, 2008 was also one of the largest transactional years in history, a fact that is often neglected in the media.

In the first Item of Value of the new year, I have looked at the state of the real estate market. On the reverse side, I have included tips on selling your home faster, the best ways to invest in your home and a look at historic home values to prove that your home is the best long-term investment.

I hope you had a great 2008, and I look forward to serving you in 2009!

Sincerely,

Cindy Ambuehl
