Sioux Falls Real Estate - Market Report - January 08

Rita Narragon — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:45:55 +0000

As many parts of the nation continue to see a downturn in home values, high foreclosure rates, and poor economic trends, Sioux Falls and the surrounding area appear to be the the exception to the rule. In 2007 the median home values increased 4.9% according to the REALTOR’S Association of the Sioux Empire (RASE).

While new construction homes are on a slight decline from 2006 (approx 6.35%), pre-existing home sales which constitute about 80% of the market, are remaining steady. In a recent Press Release by RASE CEO, Barton Hacker stated, “Interest rates continue to be extremely low and inventory levels throughout the region are such that we are seeing neither a traditional buyers nor sellers market.” “These are strong leading indicators that we have a stable real estate market. Despite discussions of a possible economic downturn, conditions here remain generally positive for anyone considering the purchase or sale of their home.”

Help, I need a Doctor

CityBlogSD — Mon, 28 May 2007 08:15:30 +0000

Sioux Falls, South Dakota has a hospital. Sioux Falls has many medical professionals operating in a variety of specialties. Fundamental healthcare begins with an individual or family?s access to a general physician, call it a family doctor or for children, a Pediatrician and for women a Gynecologist. Certainly, for people like me, a good therapist; better yet, a Psychiatrist! But why is it that someone in Sioux Falls, South Dakota cannot locate a physician that will take new patients?
CityBlog Sioux Falls, was struck by the frustration that was apparent in Susie Pena’s (a Sioux Falls, South Dakota resident) post on May 9, 2007, which read as follows:
I have been here 1 year this June and have yet to find a doctor that will accept new patients. I am very discouraged that there is no avenue for new residents to find out who is available without a lot of labor intensive efforts.
Does Sioux Falls have a physician association or, does the hospital know of new physicians coming into Sioux Falls that are looking for new patients? It would behoove all communities to have some centralized service that maintains a list of physicians who can accept patients as either â€œnewâ€ or on a rotating basis until the new resident can establish regular healthcare.
