You can help in 2 ways:

•  Drop off a new coat at Keller Williams Realty, Home Depot or Mad Dog Fitness.
• Come join us at the Pancake Breakfast - $5 each

We are accepting new coats until the day of the event at Keller Williams Realty, Home Depot and Mad Dog Fitness.  The cost of a new coat through the Coats for Kids Foundation is $15 each.  All net proceeds will go towards the purchase of the jackets.

Join us along with the Bullhead City Morning Kiwanis Club.

Just when things were starting to look up, the events over the past two weeks involving the banks, lenders and other financial institutions have conspired to put a heavy brake on our local real estate market.

Again.

During the summer, the failure of a number of lenders, the collapse of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and other similar events produced a saw tooth looking sales market.  Up and promising one week, down and depressing the next.  As those events waned, the end of summer sales were surprisingly brisk, and it looked like for the first time since hurricane Katrina that our real estate sales would not take the sharp September drop seen each year. 

But no, this was not to last.  Yet another catastrophic failure of the financial markets, which to me are a result of 8 years of poor leadership in Washington, sunk our real estate sales.  Sales these past two week are running at about 50% of what we had been witnessing during the summer.  It make me wonder what sales would have been like this fall had these financial failures not occurred.  Then again, maybe it would be the same as the 3 previous years with sales in this resort market dropping off once the boaters left.

Current Mortgage rates today are:

Conventional 15year fixed 5.5%

30year fixed 5.75%

FHA/VA30Year fixed 5.75%

Keller Williams Realty/River Cities Specialists will have their own booth in the crafts section of the annual Bullhead City Cornfest, presented by the local Kiwanis groups.  The KW booth will feature hand crafted wallets, purses, and bags and similar items for sale at very low prices.  All profits from the sale of these items will go to KW Cares, a certified Keller Williams charity that helps KW associates and empoyees in times of need, such as those who have lost thier homes or businesses as a result of hurricane Ike.  After Katrina, KW cares donated more to needy families than any other private charity group.

We are very excited to have this opportunity to have a booth at the Cornfest and to donate our profits to charity.  KW Cares is one part of the famous Keller Williams Culture that we are so proud of.  Please stop by our booth on Friday September 26th or Saturday September 27th, check out our crafted accessories and chat with a Keller Williams representative.

 Can’t wait to see you there!  If you have any questions please call Cliff Collipriest at (928)754-4269.

Thank You!
