Not quite the statistical rebound we were looking for but come on. February graced us with some of the WORST WINTER WEATHER IN HISTORY. I am not making excuses for the slow numbers, but, in order for a house to sell it has to be shown. So who wants to be tracking through the snow and freezing cold looking for a house unless you really have to?
Come on March! Time is short, so hit the ground running. You MUST have a contract signed and accepted by APRIL 30, 2010 to get your TAX CREDIT, if you qualify. Bring on the real spring!
Life happens and so real estate, whether high or low, will continue to sell. It’s all just part of how you look at it. - DJ
