Welcome, welcome, welcome to 2016!

 

We used the last couple of weeks to rest, rejuvinate and plan for the new year. All kinds of

exciting ideas & dreams are being worked out on our end. We've also used the time to do a little assessment. We (the nation) had a great 2015—the best year for housing since 2007. An

interesting fact, is that the economists over at Realtor.com® project an even better year in 2016.

 

Why? Well, with economic growth chugging along, employment will continue to increase, meaning that people will have more money coming in and they’ll be able to buy their first home or upgrade to a new one.

What does this mean for you as a home buyer? Well, competition will be stiff, likely with multiple offers IF, and this is really important, IF the home is priced correctly. This is where we come in ­not only with the report, but with our advice. We've been in real estate through the highs and lows, and stay on top of what's happening on the market ­­ you get our take on it each week... but if you're really ready to buy, then let's sit down for a "Buyer's Consultation" where we really get to know what YOUR priorities are, as well as share our knowledge of what you can really expect to buy for your dollar.
