Is spring coming early or is the market changing?

daffodilWhen I sold my Long Beach house last fall, I was sad that the hundreds of bulbs I've planted over the years would be blooming in someone else's garden. Of course, I was also pleased to be finally closing escrow in this down market, I went out and bought myself some more bulbs.

I planted those bulbs in my new yard and set in for the cold winter. OK, so I'm in sunny Southern California but we're wimps here so it feels cold to us. And the real estate market, well it's been cold for sure.

This week, daffodils came up in my new yard and three offers on longtime listings came over my fax machine. I'm thinking maybe the winter is over. I know the calendar says spring doesn't come officially until March 21st but I'm hoping this is a sign it's coming early this year! Hope blooms eternal, and daffodils, well you can always plant them someplace new!

I hope winter is over - I hate the winter (Cold, wet, and always a fender bender in the mix) Good luck on your new home in CA.

I think the market is changing for the better and just in time for a beautiful spring!

I used to live in Norwalk and remember riding my bicycle down the riverbed (the concrete ones) all the way to Long Beach to see my friends. My dad built the Starkist Tuna Factory there in Long Beach. Oh my... what a walk down memory lane for me!

To spring and your success!

Ditto for Michael and Paul's comments.  I don't even see alot of inventory in my area anymore so things must be changing.
