Shoveling out, and buyer's are coming back to the market.

How to make your uncle and brother in law very jealous............

Now that we are past the Holiday season and heading into the sweet (snowy) part of winter, I am noticing many more buyers actually looking (not just on a website, actually walking through) at our company's listing inventory. Furthermore, we have actually seen a number of our listings go under contract in the month of January and early part of February. Is this due to mortgage reductions? Is this due to buyers believing the housing market pricing has levelled off? Is this Due to pent up demand, or is this due to a real spring real estate market on the horizon? All of these are playing a part, and quite frankly, who cares what the answer is, we are delighted to see buyers actually make an offer, and sellers acknowledging those offers with acceptance!

In the past, one of my fears as a realtor was always during the attorney approval period, that a buyer's uncle, brother in law or friend would point out how much cheaper he or she purchased their house in the same neighborhood just one or 2 years prior. This would make the buyers feel like they were making a mistake, and buyers remorse would set in. Today, what is that uncle or brother in law to say? " hey buyer, don't you know I purchased my property 2 years ago for much more money than you are paying today? How could you dare buy for so much less than I did..............

Come on prospective buyers, want to make your uncle or brother in law jealous? Buy some property today!
