Spring Market is for the Birds.....and YOU!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sabinske & Associates, Inc. (Albertville, St. Michael)

I love Spring….and spring buying season is almost upon us.  Spring is typically the time that I really come alive...and, believe me, being a redhead, at least by nature, I am always alive! 

This weekend the man of the house was busy in his workshop making birdhouses which he puts on pitchforks.  I know, it sounds weird but they are very popular for gardens. And, he sells them. 

Okay, just picture it, a birdhouse on a pitchfork....

 Rons Rustic Birdhouses

 

 

As I said, he sells them so they are new housing. 

Yesterday, as I was glancing out the deck door, I see a prospective buyer.  No, not a human.  A male wren.  He was very excited, popping back and forth, peeking in the window.  And chirping away...presumably to the wife who was likely nearby.  I started to laugh, and he flew off.  Then he brought her over to check it out just a short time later.  There was no realtor bird nearby that I could see.  But, I think they're buying.  Unless he can move it quickly. 

If the birds are buying, and my buyers are buying, why aren't you buying?

Hi Suzanne McLaughlin , One thing about the birds, they don't give you the fly around.  The make their decision quickly, because there are other Flyers out there looking for homes too.

Hi Suzanne - I hope that prospective buyer appreciates the fact that new home was designed and built by a true craftsman. He better make his move quickly.

It makes perfect sense to me to mount it on a pitch fork. And those wrens have extremely good taste in homes.

Hi Suzanne -- I think the idea of birdhouses with pitchforks make perfect sense(to me) for a garden setting.   

Hopefully Mr Wren has the proper qualifications in place for his new nest and wasn't just stalking the place.

William Feela I don't think that fishing pole will get much of a workout before July!  It should be hopping around here!

Suzanne - those bird houses are really neat.  I certainly couldn't tell a male bird from a female bird much less a bird Realtor.  Glad Spring is coming to Minnesota.  We are getting more snow here.

I was at the Westcliffe meetup yesterday and I missed out on commenting. You know how often that happens with me...almost never and there has to be a good reason. Well I have one. It was so much fun.
