May Newsletter

We’re still seeing our fair share of rainy days, but we have certainly been enjoying the sunshine when it appears! All those April showers are sure to bring May flowers, and we can’t wait to see all the beautiful blooms start to appear across the region. The spring selling season has looked a little different this year than in years past, but even with a slower start, we believe the pace will pick up.

Buyers, you’re going to have the advantage of entering a market with more inventory available than we saw this time last year. And sellers, we can strategically price your property so that it’s not sitting on the market for an extended period.

For anyone looking to buy or sell right now, patience is key. At the end of the day, it’s always a gift to be able to take your time making an informed, thoughtful decision regarding real estate moves.

Warmly,
