Spring!?

Well, it's 28 degrees out right now, and that seems balmy compared to the past couple of weeks! Even though the calendar says Jan 29th, it is indeed marching towards spring in the world of Real Estate. We generally are working 30-60 days into the future- typical timing for a closing on a new property. In the past week I personally have seen a rise in activity with regards to families thinking about buying and selling. This view is backed by what my colleagues have been experiencing as well. This is a good sign that there will be increased demand for homes in our area. Local inventory levels are declining as well- a good thing in our quest for a "balanced" market. For those considering a move when the weather turns a bit nicer this is a good time to get those ducks in order- buyers should start investigating financing and getting a general idea of what homes are available in what price ranges. Sellers should start a list of projects or improvement that they want to complete prior to putting a home on the market. A professional Real Estate agent is a good resource for deciding what should be done, and in what order. Some things can wait, and some should not be done at all!
After the snowstorm yesterday I am looking forward to a great day on the slopes with my family this weekend...finally it's supposed to be above zero outside! As always, call if I can assist or if you have questions! 802-846-7862

Stay warm,
