Ground Hog Day

And so it is. Ground Hog Day. The days are getting longer and the air is getting warmer......teasing us about the upcoming spring season. SPRING....it will come!

I am feeling very hopeful about the real estate market in Vermont. Although the National reports can make anyone feel glum, all we can do is focus on our local markets. There are some wonderful properties for sale here. Vermont has a lot to offer.

Our local Realtor Board is reporting that businesses in the area are interested in networking. For a few years everyone was so busy, it wasn't necessary to make connections, stop and talk to each other, promote our fellow businesses. That trend is changing.

Now is a great time for us to patronize local restaurants and event facilities for this purpose. They need us and we need them. These businesses help draw buyers to our area.

Internet, email, texting, blogging.....all great tools. However, mingling with your peers, having a laugh or two, getting to know each others strengths, we still need to do that.

This may sound strange to those of you in large metropolitan areas.....but up here in the Green State of mom and pop businesses............we all need to stick together.

Be well everyone,
