According to the local MLS statistics, single family homes sales in Stone County MO last month totaled 3 single family homes. The highest priced one sold for $325,000 and the lowest priced one sold for $159,000. The other one sold for $190,000 and that was a decrease in sales of 21 homes. That is not the news we hoped for the Stone County and Table Rock Lake area Real Estate Market. However, if you are thinking about buying, you have great timing!
Condo sales more than doubled over the previous month with 8 condos sold. The highest price was $260,000 and the lowest was $89,900. The median price was about $135,000 which is also good news for the Stone County Condo Market.

Real Estate Market information is local and there is good financing available at great rates for buyers with qualified credit. For owners this is great news and a good price is now possible on your home or other investment property. Naturally, whether you should buy or sell depends upon your particular circumstances more than any other factor.
If you would like to go over your situation and get an honest evaluation of whether you are in a good "time to buy or sell" I will be glad to help. You can call my cell (417)350-9743 or if you want to see what is listed on the MLS click here: Search Listings Here !!!
Branson Missouri Real Estate Market Report for December 2009
According to the local MLS, Branson single family homes sales last month total was 28. The highest priced one sold for $489,900 and the lowest priced one sold for $44,500 with a median price of $180,000. That is five less homes than November but slightly higher median price of $180,000 keeps it from being all bad news.
Condo sales were also down by the same proportion with 6 closing escrow in December. The highest one sold for $132,500 and the lowest sold for $54,000. They also had a lower median price of $80,000, so no real good news for the condo sellers last month.

Market information for land, farms, and mobile-home sales as well as other local information is available by request. Real estate is always local and there is no problem getting financing for good buyers and a fair price for good property, if you know the market.
Naturally, whether you should buy or sell depends upon your particular circumstances more than any other factor.

Who Qualifies for the Extended Credit?
- First-time home buyers who purchase homes between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010.
- Current home owners purchasing a home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010, who have used the home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight.
To qualify as a “first-time home buyer” the purchaser or his/her spouse may not have owned a residence during the three years prior to the purchase.
If you or your client purchased a home between January 1, 2009 and November 6, 2009, please see: 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.
Which Properties Are Eligible?
The Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit may be applied to primary residences, including: single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and co-ops.
How Much Is Available?
The maximum allowable credit for first-time home buyers is $8,000.
The maximum allowable credit for current homeowners is $6,500.
How is a Buyer's Credit Amount Determined?
Each home buyer’s tax credit is determined by tow additional factors:
- The price of the home.
- The buyer's income.
Price
Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, credit may only be awarded on homes purchased for $800,000 or less.
Buyer Income
Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, which is effective on November 7, 2009, single buyers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000—may receive the maximum tax credit.
These income limits have changed from the 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit limits. If you or your client purchased a home between January 1, 2009 and November 6, 2009, please see 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.
If the Buyer(s)’ Income Exceeds These Limits, Can He/She Still Get a Credit?
Yes, some buyers may still be eligible for the credit.
The credit decreases for buyers who earn between $125,000 and $145,000 for single buyers and between $225,000 and $245,000 for home buyers filing jointly. The amount of the tax credit decreases as his/her income approaches the maximum limit. Home buyers earning more than the maximum qualifying income—over $145,000 for singles and over $245,000 for couples are not eligible for the credit.
Can a Buyer Still Qualify If He/She Closes After April 30, 2010?
Under the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit, as long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, 2010, the purchaser will have until July 1, 2010 to close.
Will the Tax Credit Need to Be Repaid?
No. The buyer does not need to repay the tax credit, if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during this three-year period, the full amount credit will be recouped on the sale.
