The saying comes from an English poet, Thomas Tusser, who wrote "sweet April showers, do spring May flowers" in the late 1500's.

dianadahlbergrealtor: Nothing better than a Positive Review from A Happy Buyer! - 01/14/23 03:54 PM
Amazing REALTOR! Amazing Experience!  Diana was the best of the best! She did not flood my inbox with hundreds of random listings that didn't fit my description of what I was looking for like some realtors. Nope. She met with me after some thought, and showed me two listenings. What she showed me was EXACTLY what I was looking for, and within hours I made an offer and it was accepted. This summer, I would like to buy another rental property. Diana is my choice for real estate!!

dianadahlbergrealtor: 5 Tips for Making Your Best Offer on a Home - 08/27/22 09:51 AM
What is a Seller's Market?
A "Seller's Market" is when there are more home buyers in a particular area looking to purchase a home than actual houses listed for sale. 
A "Seller's Market" usually includes rising home prices and stronger competition among home buyers. Also, home sellers may have the upper hand when it comes time for negotiation. However, even if the competition is fierce, rest assured that you can still buy a home.
Buying a home can be difficult, especially when buying in a "Seller's Market".
