11/26/2014 What are you thankful for? This time of year, with the approach of Thanksgiving, we tend to reflect on the things in our life that we are grateful for. We all face challenges from time to time, and it is very easy to get wrapped up in busy work and life schedules. Making some time to take a breath and give thanks for the things in your life that you do treasure can help to put things in perspective. The members of the Centre County Association of REALTORS have plenty to be thankful for.
Our market is stable: Here is one example in the 3rd quarter of 2014, we have closed 393 residential transactions in Centre County vs. 374 in the 3rd quarter of 2013. (Data provided by Centre County Association of REALTORS MLS). Homes are selling and interest rates remain low. Our market area is growing: Many of our members are expanding their service into neighboring counties. Those agents that have familiarity with areas of Mi. in, Huntingdon, Clear. eld, etc. are able to reach further to provide their expertise to new clients. Our membership is cooperative: Real estate sales is a competitive business. However, the professionals serving as REALTORS in this area maintain respectful and cooperative relationships with each other. These relationships strengthen our network and allow us to better serve our clients. Our membership is generous with their community: The majority of our REALTOR and Business Partner members are involved in a variety of organizations to which they donate their time, expertise and energy. Our members serve on boards and committees and volunteer for events and service in all corners of the county and beyond. They are invested in this community and can be seen at all levels of involvement. What in your life are you most grateful for? Is there a way you can express your appreciation by taking some time to help someone else? There are many organizations and groups in the area that can use your time and talents. If you don’t know where to start, have a chat with your REALTOR of choice and get some suggestions! Enjoy the season!
