November Green Market Update

From the sound of it, money is starting to open up for builders and investors as over the past few weeks I have heard about atleast 3 amazing Green Developments that are in the works and hope to be up and building by February of next year. Each one is unique and different but all revolving around Green Construction in one way or another.

Some are infill near Downtown are others are in the Burbs. I mention this because looking at the reports that I do every month, it gives us the impression that there is not a whole lot going on – when in reality, its appears that it will start to pop up everywhere.

I am currently in the process of creating a site where I can add floorplans and price sheets for Green-er Communities and Projects around town. If you know of some amazing green secrets, we would love to hear about them!

Now, historically speaking October is a rather quiet month for Real Estate - November and December may pick up a little bit – but overall not a whole lot of change until the next year. Here are the October statistics that we have been following – And a quick question posed to you..Would you like to hear an overall Real Estate Report each month?

Next month will be month #4 – I’ll start tracking with graphs so that it is easier to follow the change from each month.
