Another year older.... Isn't that supposed to mean wiser too??

Well, I put another year away on the notch of life last Friday...  For the big day, I actually took the day off....

I relaxed, played some ball with Jester and for my big accomplishment of the day I went to the grocery store with Maggie and we picked out a couple nice steaks for the barbecue as well as some shrimp and other nice veggies and spuds and a cake to make a fantastic dinner from.

It was a great day of simple pleasures!  I highly recommend it!

The Good Solid Market is Back!! Or is it?

Hi Everybody,

I hosted an Open House today and had one of my biggest turn-outs ever!!  I lost count of how many groups came through.  Yee Ha!!

In the last few weeks, my phone has been ringing a lot from both Agents calling on my listings and new Buyers calling on my listings.

I received an offer today on one of my listings, and have been told that an offer will come in on another one of my listings sometime tomorrow!

I'm not trying to boast here... (Though I am VERY happy about this weekend!)  This kind of thing has certainly not been my typical weekend over the last couple months...  What I am looking for is some feedback.  Are you experiencing anything like this sudden surge I'm having, or is this just a run good luck for me???  

It sure is feeling to me like the lousy Fall we had after all the lending industry non-sense is behind us.  How are you doing these days??
