It’s hard to imagine that it is now spring break time!  My son is coming home from University this weekend so it means the home stretch till summer is here!   Hard to believe.

And to kick off the spring I have a new listing that will be shown for the first time this Sunday!  A beautiful villa in the heart of West County!   Great community…quiet and affordable.  Looking forward to a busy open and lots of activity.   The market is great both for buyers and sellers…interest rates are still low and prices are going up.  Inventory in West County is so low when a good place comes onto the market, it’s gone in a day.   This can get frustrating for buyers competing for homes.   Case in point, I’ve already had two people ask me about the villa and if they can get in to see it sooner!

Selling a home can be a pain…I know I just did it 18 months ago!  Downsized to a villa from a fairly large home.   It’s cathartic divesting ones self of all the junk you really don’t need.  Here in the office we have a great concierge book full of vendors that can help with everything from hauling away junk to estate sales and everything in between.   There are a couple of new consignment shops in West county too…we used one to sell some couches, framed pictures and nic nacs – they picked them up and then sent us a check for our portion when they sold.   Very convenient.   My point is don’t wait if you are onsidering a sale.   TIming is so good right now and the lenders are helping buyers out with great loan products.

I’m looking forward to a great year real estate wise.   I love helping first time buyers as well as those like myself ready to downsize and every one in between.   Putting people in their homes is a privilege and I love it.   Let me know how I can help you!
