New Place in Town

Have you tried Newk's yet?  Well, I'm really enjoying it and it seems that everyone else is too.  We met friends there for lunch Sunday, and there were people lined up out the door around noon.  It's located on Higdon Ferry in the shopping area with Sam's Club and Best Buy.  They have really yummy soups and I really LOVE the chicken tortilla soup!  Unless you are really hungry, the cup-size is plenty to go along with a half of a sandwich.  Also really like the atmosphere there with the whimsical artwork along the walls.  It's really a fun little place for the family.  Be sure to check it out the next time you are in Hot Springs and let me know what you think.

Real Estate Market may be Headed in a New Direction

As we review the first month of the new year in the real estate industry in the Hot Springs area, we are always eager to determine the direction of the real estate market for the year.  Wouldn’t it be nice if that crystal ball would tell us the exact time that’s best to buy and sell to get the most for your money?!  So far, the numbers are pretty close to this time last year, however just a tad bit less in total sales volume for residential sales (but not enough to talk about). With over 16 years in the real estate industry, we have experienced many shifts in the market, but this year is feeling a little different.  We have made a few predictions for the upcoming year and wanted to share our thoughts with you. This will be a year of more “multi-offers” on homes, so be sure to choose an experienced real estate agent with good negotiating skills to represent you. (Inventory is at a record low for our area, creating a scramble on good homes.) Vacation home sales will increase signif
