Dear Marie,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your professional expertise in my recent real estate transaction with you.
You worked diligently and caused the transaction to take place in record time. I especially enjoyed your personal commitment to keeping us informed in your weekly follow-ups with regular emails. You took all the anxiety out of purchasing.
Because of your professional integrity I referred my daughter to you who is also looking for a home. I trust you will take very good care of her.
Thank you again.

Marie,
Well... it’s been a journey. When we first spoke and I asked why I should hire you as my Realtor, you answered that you have patience and have worked with people for a long time to find the property that suited them. After working with you for the good part of a year, I agree that you are patient. But you also had a keen understanding of what we were looking for. You were our scout when we could not be in the area. Ultimately, even though the internet searches and many visits to other properties gave us perspective, you were the one who found our property for us. Thank you. I would be happy to refer you to anyone looking for his or her piece of Idaho. I wish the very best for you and your family!

Best Regards and God Bless,

Zac and Family

To any interested party who may want to purchase or sell their home, I would recommend Marie Kamprath without any hesitation. Marie sold our home we were living in, and found the home we wanted to buy. We let her know what we were looking for, and she sent us listings daily on the computer. We would let her know the ones we wanted to see, and she immediately set up showings for us. The home we wanted was already in escrow and when it fell out, she was at our home with all the paperwork that night so she could get our offer in the first thing in the morning. She is very honest and trustworthy, and she is who we will contact if we ever want to buy or sell a home in the future.

Marie is an excellent source of information and knowledge of the workings of Northern Idaho. You cannot go wrong with her on your side for a property search. We are still in the process and her patience with us is endless.

Is the Housing Market on the Rebound?

Let the statistics speak: According to the Coeur d’Alene Multiple Listing Service, the total number of sales for 2011 were up 8.7% over 2010, while the total number of new listings is down 11.7% year-over-year. More promising, the number of pending sales (in contract but not closed) is up 12.5% overall, and those in the $500,000+ category up 21.8%! The bad news- median sales prices are down 8.32%, to $154,258, as the bulk of sales were in the $140,000 and less range. Most pundits don’t expect a rebound in prices this year- though there are exceptions. The Wall Street Journal (Dec. 29, 2011) reports that the chief investment officer of Caxton Associates (a $10 billion hedge fund) “expects home prices and construction will rise in 2012.” We will see. Locally, the number of foreclosures is down, but it takes a lot of momentum and optimism to drive prices up! While unemployment numbers are looking better, the shock of our still-recent housing balloon pop is yet reverberating.

“Cautiously optimistic” might better sum up sentiment for those in real estate. The January statistics do indicate a shift in the market- pending sales are definitely up, while the volume of inventory is decreasing.

Long-term optimism does have historical foundations. Housing starts have beenbelow 1959 levels for the past few years- and yet, America has a much greater population. That, plus the clearing of distressed inventory coupled with the extreme affordability which extraordinarily low interest rates and low prices combine to offer, have convinced investors that the opportunity is now.

Hoping and praying that it is indeed, as a rebound in home building would be a huge boost to the economy!
