What a great market gor both buyers and sellers.  The sky did not fall last year, and interest rates remained fairly flat.  As more and mofe properties sell, which they are, more and more sellers will see that it is to their advantage to sell now, and buyers will recognize that the bottom has already come and gone.   More choices, less frenzy.     I believe that sales will remain strong through the summer and I am excited to be helping so many people buy and sell right now.  Call me!  805.570.3366.  All inquiries are confidential.
