    The million dollar price range is hot because you can buy so much more for the money than two years ago. Most of the buyers are people who wanted to be in a 1.5 to 2 million dollar home but could only spent 1 million. The first houses to go were the "new construction" where builders were filing bankruptcy and letting the house go back to the bank. Since the bank is not supposed to make a profit on the foreclosure, the buyer would get an automatic 25% off of the price of the house. The houses that were bought by people who were buying way over their head also went into foreclosure and the banks wanting them off of their books ~ again great deals for the new buyers. I am amazed at the number of million dollar buyers. The stock market is too frightening for most people and they believe that the housing market will get better, so they are betting on a smart purchase to increase in value over time. They are not house flippers, they are relying on the fact that they will live in the house for awhile and that the increase in value will be there when they decide to sell down the road. Not to mention: they are getting a heck of a deal right now, to the point that the market is almost depleted of million dollar properties. It is not uncommon for me to call on a property for my purchaser and the house is already under contract.

    I don't know why there isn't more positive news about real estate. There certainly is a price range that is flying off the shelf. It is incredible that it is the million dollar range, but it is true!

    Uncle Shucks is a fantastic place to visit! I love to take my grandsons there. It's a great place for building memories with your kids. I have pictures of my grandsons in front of the corn stalks as a screen saver on my computer. It warms my heart every time I look at it.. Thanks Mike and Roxanne! Rebecca Currie
