New Listings, Open Houses and Property Tax Reminder

I hope that Q1 has been good to you and your family.  My Q1 2015 Real Estate update is in progress so I will send that out shortly so stay tuned.  In three sentences I would say that we are in the most aggressive Seller’s market I have seen in my 12 year career.  If you are a Seller I would sell now while things are going well, as a Buyer let’s make sure we sit down and strategize how to win in this market.  Investors there are still a few locations that may get good rent, but overall flipping is a risky bet as there maybe a slowdown around the corner.

Interest Rates

I never imagined that interest rates would be at another low.  I am refinancing again, let me know if I should connect you with my loan agent to look at your loans.
