Mother's Day & More

This has been a busy week for me as I prepare to sneak off for a few days to see my Mom on Mother’s Day. Recently I have had the good fortune to be working with a number of clients who are looking to buy new homes. They cover most of the traditional reasons for wanting to buy a home. Some are moving here from other locations but others are looking to have a smaller or larger home.

The inventory of available homes is high, a good percentage are
overpriced and most end up sitting on the market for months. But there is a group of for sale homes that are different. First, they are prepared to sell; they are easy to show and are priced right. In other words they are clean, well maintained, have good features, the sellers are cooperative and the asking price is supported by looking at what similar homes in the area have sold for. These homes are selling. It may not be like it was a few years ago but they are selling much faster than most of their competition.

Buyers have a lot on their side right now but the smart buyers know the luxury of time is not always there when they find the right house.

On this Mother’s Day weekend, let us each remember the best of our mother. Have a great weekend!
