Waiting for Spring Market?
As we close out 2018 and get ready to usher in 2019, it's a good time to take a look at the 
market and see how detached homes are selling in the winter months. The weather hasn't felt like winter weather, but the schools are still one of the big draws to the area and we generally see sales slow a bit while kids are in school.
