It's that time again.  Springtime will be here soon... or at least the calendar says it will.  Looking out the window here in my office in Mentor, Ohio, with the snow covering the ground, plus what is falling right now, it sure doesn't SEEM like Spring.

But according to the calendar, Spring begins on March 21st.  And the Time Changes This Weekend.

On Sunday, March 10th, at 2:00am... the hands on our local clocks here in Mentor, Ohio magically move from 1:59am to 3:00am.  Whoosh!

One more hour of daylight in the afternoon.  Finally!  I don't know about you, but I sure do feel funny going on a 6:30pm appointment and having it as dark out as it's been.

But... ok, so the time changes.  How about our local real estate markets?  Will your local Real Estate Market "Spring Forward" as well?

In many market areas of the country... the markets are already "hot."  We read reports of multiple offers in many parts of California, in Seattle and it's suburbs in Washington State, and in cities like Phoenix and Atlanta.

The Washington DC/Northern Virginia/Maryland market is also "on fire."  Shortages of listings, multiple offers, and offers above the listed price are common.

So... what's going on in your market area?  How's the activity there? 

Is it slow?  Has it already picked up, and you're having some multiple offers?  Or are you just starting to see signs that Real Estate in your local market area is ready to "Spring Forward" with the time change?
