As the "Spring" real estate season kicks off, we've been actively involved in numerous sales since the year began. While the cold weather and ice initially slowed new listings, the arrival of milder conditions has led to a promising surge in inventory. We anticipate that this trend will continue over the coming months.
For Buyers: It's essential to stay prepared. Make sure to visit any intriguing properties early, allowing ample time for due diligence. Not all sellers wait until the weekend concludes to review offers, so quick action may be necessary. Each situation varies, making it crucial to work with a hyper-local agent who understands the market's nuances to help you succeed. There have been quite a few "off-market" transactions so far this year. We actively collaborate with our fellow local agents to ensure our buyers and their buyers are fully aware of all of the available inventory.
For Sellers: Start your preparations now, even if your listing plans are for April or May. A hyper-local agent can assist with preparation and pricing strategies to ensure your success. We're observing many properties selling well above asking price with multiple offers. However, these are typically those priced strategically to attract maximum interest. Even in a competitive market, properties priced too high tend to linger, while well-priced ones sell swiftly.
We are always happy to meet to discuss your real estate goals. Even if it's just a "check-in" we would be happy to help.
