Back in the swing of things

If you’re anything link me you’re probably already neck-deep into family activities…school, gymnastics, dance, hockey…and then there’s the kids activities too (jk 😉

September can whip past us like basically everyone in my half marathon race this past weekend. Enjoy the moments and don’t forget to hydrate.

2023 Market Update

Your Market Update

Should you list now or wait?

I have been getting a number of friends and clients reaching out to me asking if they should list their home now or wait until after Christmas. Of course, that is a personal question depending upon whatever is going on in their lives, but I think the deeper question is, “How does our market respond in the back half of the year?”

Our market does follow along pretty closely with the weather. We peek generally in late July, slow down a bit in August to early September, and then pick up again mid September until early to mid December.

What that means is that we have another solid 2+ months for sellers. So there still is an opportunity to sell this year!

If you need to do some work, that is going to take you time to get ready, I would recommend getting started to see how much you can accomplish in the next 2 to 3 weeks. If you need help with trades, I have a trusted trades list that I would happily pass along.

So, my friends who are selling, there is still an opportunity this year. My friends, who are buying, you may be able to find some good buys over the next few months. Reach out and I would be happy to chat with you more about your specific needs.
