The summer real estate season is pretty much here, and things are not slowing down for our seller’s market. Inventory is up slightly but with interest rates still at near record lows and pent-up demand, we are still seeing an extremely competitive market for home buyers. I will cut straight to the chase and dig […]
Now that spring, traditionally some of the busiest months in real estate, is in full swing – let’s see what the market is telling us. Right now the market is busy and so am I. Between March and April I had 7 closings and I’ve already had a closing in May! I recently updated my […]
Spring is here, which is typically the start of the “busy” season each year for the market and agents. This is no normal year however, and low inventory continues to be the trend across the region.
