The new year brings out new buyers. While inventory is down it would be a great time to list your Cornwall home for sale. We do see many people that can’t wait for the spring rush. Buyers that are motivated are the ones that show up to look at homes in the winter. If your home is listed you could be surprised at the number of showings of serious buyers that will tour and buy a home during the cold and dreary months. Currently listed homes priced right are disappearing and some have had multiple offers. We are hoping for a strong 2014 in Cornwall and with our recent numbers that is definitely a reasonable expectation.
