Calling All Real Estate Listings

Who thought that prices would actually get stronger during a pandemic?  It's not that surprising, when you realize that life goes on, jobs change, and people retire.  They all need to buy and sell, and there just isn't much out there for them to choose.  We have adapted to the post-COVID world as best we can, and are still selling; however, we need more product in order to sell more houses.

The beginning of May has always been a busy time in real estate.  This year is no exception, except that we haven't seen the burst of listings that usually accompany the first flowers of spring.  With little product coming on, some older listings have even gotten multiple offers, even after long periods on the market.  It's clear that, if we had more to sell, we could sell more.

So, if you've been on the fence, now is the time to get off.  The coronavirus restrictions are not going to go away completely for some time to come, and the spring season should give a boost to thoughts of moving.  In addition, good weather makes it easier to social distance, when the outside of a property can be used for parts of showings.  It's also a good time to do home repairs or sprucing up and painting.  Life goes on, and real estate is going on too.  Don't be left behind--act now!
