happy holidays!

Dear Friends,

Happy Holidays to all! We want to express our appreciation to you for placing your business and trust with us for your real estate needs. Our team has grown significantly this year, thanks to all of you, our wonderful clients.

We would like to introduce to you our newest Team member, our fulltime manager, Yasir Malik. Yasir is an outstanding asset to our Team, and has in depth technical skill as well as an eagerness to be of assistance to you at any time. He has helped redesign our website, and if you have not visited us online recently, we encourage you to see the changes we’ve made at www.BarbandJenny.com. Please be sure to check out this new blog consistently for an up-to-the-minute status of the local real estate market!

As you all know, the year 2006 has been a year of transition between seller and buyer markets, tilting towards the buyers for the first year since 2000. While many may view 2006 a “bust” for sellers, it still remains the 3^rd best year on record for home sales! A renowned author and real estate’s foremost leader in economic forecasting and strategic planning has this to say: “There will be a few selected metropolitan areas where the economy is so good and housing so under built that the boom will continue, albeit at a slower pace. The Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area is such a market. Already a full beneficiary of the boom, Washington will continue to grow as Federal spending continues to increase”** “The lessons here are clear: Don’t look at the housing market nationally, look at it locally. Employment and population change will shape local markets.” If you would like to read the full article, please give us a call!

Our goal for 2007 is to help 75 families buy a new home and/or sell their existing home. If you know of anyone who might need our services, please forward this letter to them on our behalf (just click the email link below and forward them) or have them email us at Barb@BarbandJenny.com or Jenny@BarbandJenny.com.

Once again, thank you for placing your business and trust with The Mother-Daughter Team.

Have a safe and warm Holiday season!
