So you’d think that the real estate market would take a little vacation, wouldn’t you? And maybe it did, for a few weeks. But the most extraordinary thing is, the market’s hot!
Once the road crews got through the first couple of storms this winter, they got the routine down, and our roads and even sidewalks were navigable. I stayed home only two days during the entire snow blitz, and my clients were tooling around with me, making offers.
But so were everyone else’s clients, it seems! I really didn’t expect that every house my buyers made offers on would have other offers as well. Every time I showed a house, there were other showings just before or after mine, on a Monday afternoon at 4:30 or a Thursday morning at 10:00. I was in disbelief. What, there are other buyers out there, during the week, during or just after another snowstorm? But this happened all winter.
So – you’re hearing it here first – our market turned from a Buyer’s to a Seller’s during our recent winter of weather to remember. Totally unpredictable!
