Deeds and Leases

Typically holidays mean a slowdown in the market, and Realtors have the luxury of doing normal things like go shopping! Not in this market. We are too busy. There are a ton of open houses this Sunday, and showings are still brisk. I will allow perhaps a tiny bit off a non holiday weekend, but [...]

I suspect that this spring has been a surprise to many Realtors.

I may be jinxing it but in the past couple of weeks requests for information have poured in. Has it amounted to anything concrete yet? No, but in [...]

Wow, the market is getting busy! The spring has arrived! True to form new listings are pouring onto the market, which I think can be viewed as a good thing. Give buyers a choice. As long as they are properly priced, buyers will purchase them, especially with the $8,000 tax credit until April 30th. The [...]
