BHGRE Sales Are Up!

July 1, 2011

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers is happy to report that sales and contracts are both rising.

The BHGRE Metro Brokers accounting department reported that booked contracts were up by 28% for May 2011 over May 2010. In all, the company opened 870 new contract files during May. Also, closings for both April and May were up over last April and May.

This is important, since last year the real estate industry had the benefit of the Federal Tax Credit.

In addition, the amount of new business booked in June 2011 is way ahead of June 2010. This is remarkable since June 2010 was the biggest month of last year, because sales had to close by June 30, 2010 in order to be eligible for the Tax Credit. With the amount of business currently coming through the doors, BHGRE Metro Brokers agents will definitely exceed the amount of closings that took place this month last year.

“All of the hard work is paying off as we are growing market share in the wake of increased sales,” said President and CEO Kevin Levent. “I also know other companies are not experiencing the same results.”

Inventory is also continuing to go down, according to Steve Palm of SmartNumbers, a leading provider of real estate data and statistics for the metro Atlanta area. As inventory falls, prices should begin to creep back up.
