Happy Groundhog Day Everyone!

Well folks, it appears that Punxsutawney Phil has made his annual forecast....and the news is apparently pretty good for those of us who are looking forward to an early Spring.

Apparently, groundhog Phil, in the presence of several thousand loonies people, did NOT see his shadow today, signifying that there will be an early Spring this year!

That's pretty comforting news considering how much snow some us have had (and are still having) this Winter.

Personally, I don't rely on rodents for my weather predictions. I prefer to consult fortune cookies for prognostications of this sort....... and for all my major decisions!

But if you're going to rely on a rodent, or fortune cookies to choose a Real Estate agent to help you buy or sell your Raleigh, Cary, Apex area home, you might as well just pick a name out of the phone book.

Hey, how bad a decision could that be? I mean, after all, Punxsutawney Phil gets it right about 30% of the time!

Good morning Craig,

Love your marketing piece..very clever as usual! Punxsutawney Phil was smart calling out he did not see his shadow and we are in for an early spring! We are definitely seeing that in Austin..will be in the 70's again today and tomorrow!!

Hi Craig. I'm seeing all the signs for a continuing improvement in the local housing market. The temperature doesn't matter as long as the market is hot!

That might explain why it is so darn warm in San Diego these days. Happy Saturday!

Craig - while I am looking forward to spring (who isn't) I hope to ski at least a few more times before all the snows gone. And btw, I agree - there are a lot of loonies, I mean people who congregate to see the groundhog, lol! I'm okay with listening to the radio!
