We hope you are enjoying the holiday season! December is always a busy time of the year, with presents to shop for, gifts to wrap, decorations to hang, and friends and family to entertain.. With Hanukkah in full swing and Christmas and New Years right around the corner, we thought we would share with you some of our favorite holiday resources from our Windermere Real Estate Pinterest page.

When the Foundation was established in 1989, our focus was homeless families. We’ve since realized that keeping families in their homes has many obvious benefits, so most of our support is now directed to programs with goals of preventing families from becoming homeless.

In the third quarter of 2012, the region sold 11,091 units of resale housing with the year-to-date figure of 30,485 units. The year-to-date figure was 13% higher than that seen in the same period of 2011, but sales slowed by 6% from Q2—likely a function of limited inventory for sale, a common theme across the whole of the United States.

The past year has been an exciting one for all of us at Windermere. We have so much to be thankful for, not the least of which is the opportunity to help our clients with all of their buying and selling needs. We would love to hear about your greatest accomplishments in 2012 and how you express your gratitude.
