Wait that house is gone too? Lake Sinclair real estate market is hot

coffeeToday a buyer that I have been working with for a while call  me to make plans to come to the lake this weekend to take a second look at some homes they saw just two weekends ago. They asked me about the first one they wanted to see and I checked... pending... second one.... nope it's pending too and I didn't have to look because another agent in my office sold it.  And they are now through all the inspections and have loan approval, so they're good to go for closing.

My buyers are still going to come to the lake this weekend, but only to look at a couple of new homes that have just come on the market this week.  This seems to happen in our market this time of the year.  Tomorrow I hope to have time to do my April Lake Sinclair market report.  I had planned to do it today, but yesterday I got a call from a past client who is ready to move again.  

Today my day was full with showing property, writing an offer and getting her current house on the market.  Then I pulled a little overtime to take fliers for a broker's open on Wednesday over and meet wtih sellers to talk about a phone call I had from a buyer's agent about their home and an offer we had a while ago that never had a meeting of the minds.  

Tomorrow promises to be another busy day in my office.  It's going to start with me at the bank in the morning to make a deposit from today's closing that another agent had to cover for the agent because of another appointment.  I have a saying for how much we work this time of year... "we meet ourselves in the door" because by the time we leave work it's time to get back to work.  

Isn't it great? I think it is!

Good for you, it is fun to have hot market.

Here, in L.A. things are sluggish for last two months. It is so strange during this spring time....

Glad to here that your area is busy too. Over the last few weeks, we have had our listings go pending in under a week.  The market has been pretty hot over here too.  Thanks for sharing your experience.

Congratulations on being so busy.  I am now, too, I have orders for two birdhouses and another display case for the spa that ordered all kinds of furniture last fall!

Hi Tammy. it's great to see the markets picking up!  Buyers don't have the luxury of thinking about it for a few weeks....(or a season) anymore. Glad to hear you are staying busy around Lake Sinclair.

Tammy, we love it when it's that busy even though some other things get put on the back burner for another day.

People who wait and dilly-dally around will lose a good deal of the time.  If you like it, write on it.  Someone else will find it worth going for, too.  You could find it gone, or yourself in multiple offers!
