How Many Days Til Spring? Find the Gift

Actually, from today, it is 29 days until spring. Will it be 29 days until our spring real estate market? Have you seen signs of this season coming at you, already? I definitely see more activity than I have seen for months. More decisions are being made and they are not taking as long to decide. They have a pretty clear idea of what the are looking for. Sounds like spring to me! No bidding wars, yet. We may not see them at all this year. Sellers are having pricing wars, though. The prices are falling, and the consideration is leaning towards a Buyer's Agent with negotiating skills. Buyers are interviewing the agents that they are hiring. Knowledge is key. Yes, it is a Buyer's Market. I now see many more of the Sellers realizing that the best price sells. Not the best location. Not the newest appliances or updates. The Price. The other items will be a part of it, but, the most important factor now to the Buyer and the Buyer's Agent is the price. Having a Realtor that you can trust, one who is looking out for you today and in the future, is what Buyers need. Buying the right property now, can reap the Buyers the benefits of the future.

Choose a Realtor who will want you to call them back in the future. A Realtor who wants you to recommend your friends, family and co-workers to them. A Realtor who will be your trusted advisor.

Buyers with the right credit scores, steady income, and down payment monies are truly the gift right now. Sellers have realized that, too. Sellers have their homes listed, to sell! Buyers want to buy! They are a gift. It wasn't easy for them to stay ontrack. They are living within their means, saving money for a new home, staying on a budget and working hard at that goal. They are a gift. Appreciate the buyers that you have.

So, as spring approaches us, whether it be the season or the market, appreciate your buyers.

Buyers are a gift.
