DSC02242It must have been the weather.  The day dawned bright and clear, and it felt warm.  I showed houses in shirt sleeves today. 

The phone rang, and rang, and rang.  By 11:30 AM I had more than 60 calls.  I know this because my cell phone only holds the last 60 phone numbers.  I looked for a number from an early morning call and found it was before the 60th number.   I checked again at 6 PM and the 60th number was at 12:01 from Don Zimmerman from IEC Realty.  Thanks for lunch Don!

So that's more than 120 calls for the day.  Still have a bunch to return.  I had a 9:30 appointment to take photos of this house.  A 1:00 PM appointment with a builder at which we found out the buyer wants to enter into contract.  An appointment at 3:30 to show a house and 5 acres, and a closing at 5:00 PM. In addition five of my listings were shown by three different agents.  Two of the listings were shown twice. I heard from one agent that we will likely get an offer tomorrow.

We will have to wait for the Monday Morning Market Memo to see if this is the beginning of the spring rush, but it does seem that Feb 1 is the end of winter in real estate.

Give me a call at (907) 232-7900, if I'm on the phone, I'll call you back.  Or email, that's easier.

It was at least 40 degrees today, maybe warmer.  It really does feel like shirt sleeve weather after our much longer than normal cold snap.

We hit the mid 40's the other night and I thought I was going to die.  My dog has to physically be carried outside to do his business, he refuse to go out when it's cold.  BRRR.  I don't think Alaska is for me.

What gives?  I just went out to start my daughters car, and it's 57%   That's almost a 100 degree different from our low a couple weeks ago!
