                                                                                                                                         September 2018 Dear Neighbor: Well, Summer’s about over and we’re heading into Fall (I know you were waiting for this letter to find that out).  One of the misconceptions I cover in my talk about Real Estate Myths and Realities is the myth that Spring is the best time to sell.  That has so settled into the public consciousness that it often comes as a shock when I tell you . . . are you sitting down? . . . it’s...Continue Reading!

July 2018 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: The real estate market goes thru cycles as you know, and this one at 10 years is getting a bit long in the tooth. I’ve given up trying to predict the future, but there are more houses on the market now than at any time in the past few years, though admittedly the past few years have seen the fewest houses for sale that I can remember in my 33 years in this business.

March 2018 Newsletter

I apologize in advance for the way this doesn't line up at bottom.  I have no idea why   Dear Neighbor: The real estate market continues to “suffer” from too few houses for sale.  For you, as a potential seller of course, this is anything but suffering.  In my 33 years in this business I can’t recall many times when it’s been a better time to be a seller.  Prices are at an all-time high, interest rates are low but have started to...Continue Reading!
