Why Make a Move?

It's March and almost St. Patrick's Day....a sign to me that spring is just around the corner. My great-grandfather was scots-Irish and, I am told, enjoyed St. Patrick's day when he came to America...but, I don't think it included green-beer. My moms birthday is the first day of spring, so every year, her card from him included some sort of good luck motif. This time of year is happy - hopeful - and can be full of luck! When it comes to real estate - timing can be everything. The timing of your move, whether you are selling, buying, leasing, can be crucial. Many think the investors are lucky right now....they get offers accepted faster than your average buyer. For non-investors, home prices are are still low and you are still getting a phenomenal interest rate. Although inventory is low, it usually picks up once the weather gets warmer, and I am hopeful it will. If you are looking to sell your home - times are wonderful! You can expect a well-priced home to receive multiple offers right now. If you are looking to buy, don't get discouraged by the lack of inventory or investor activity; the right agent can help you - and will work with you until you're in your new home - no matter how many offers have to be written! If you are flat out discouraged, you can look at leasing a property for a year. There are many wonderful homes just waiting for a new occupant. For real estate - times couldn't be "luckier". If you need any help with navigating your next transaction, give me a call. I am always here to help with honesty and integrity. You will receive personalized attention and you won't be another "client in the queue". Happy St. Patrick's Day! Stacy
