What an incredible day!

I am working with a wonderful couple that have three daughters. They transferred to the Lebanon Missouri area a few years ago and have been renting since then. Feeling they will stay here, without another transfer in the near future, they decided to buy. They have been to the bank, they have been pre-approved and have money in the bank for a down payment. All the pieces are in place to make an offer on a home.

Earlier this week, we looked at a foreclosure in Phillipsburg Missouri. Our choices have been some what limited as they want to stay in the Laclede County R-1 school district. There isn't a whole lot for sale in this school district, as it ranks well in the State and has a very strong reputation in the area. There is limited turn over within the boundaries of the district.

So... back to my story. We look at the home. A few family members look over the home. The buyers made a list of potential repairs and went home to talk about an offer. They later called to say they would be in Friday morning, their day off, to write an offer.

This morning, we meet at the Lebanon MO office and I pull up the data sheet. I go on to pull up our state forms software, flipping back to the MLS data sheet. Upon doing so, the page refreshes...what do I see? The home is now under contract? What? Five minutes ago it still showed as "active."

Placing a call to the listing agent, I find out that the REO company did indeed accept an offer this morning from another local buyer.

My buyers lost a home that had everything they were looking for - the right school district, a little bit of land, no major repairs, a storm shelter or safe room and at least two full baths.

As of today, the home had been on the market 169 days. They thought they had plenty of time. They thought it wasn't going any where any time soon. They thought homes weren't moving - that is what the media told them.

The morning was an emotional roller coaster.

Our market has seen an increase in Internet traffic and an increase in telephone calls. It looks like we'll also see an increase in pendings and solds in the near future.

If you're thinking of buying or selling, why wait?

We have a restaurant in a Cave listed for sale - so I'm not sure why I was shocked to hear about a HOME in a CAVE. This home is also located in Missouri and the family is having trouble finding a bank that will re-finance the property.

More of the story is below... if you know of anyone in the mortgage business, or you yourself are in lending, perhaps you can help this family of five.

The tradition continues this Sunday, March 1st, 2009 - opening day of trout season at Bennett Spring State Park in Lebanon Missouri.

Last year, the Park played host to 3,000 anglers on opening day, a Saturday. This year, Park officials expect the same, if not a few more. The weathermen are calling for cooler weather - but I don't think that will deter many. Trout fishermen and women are a dedicated bunch!
