Sun, Sailing and Open Houses

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Holman Premier Realty

So, I held two open houses today while my husband, son and nieces went sailing.  Who got the better end of this deal???  It's in the 80's and the wind is blowing just right.  (For those who don't know, Klamath Falls has one of the best sailing lakes in the west!  You can check out my website at www.KimSwagert.com for information on sailing and some of my pictures of the area).

The warm weather also brought out some buyers, and from talking to them, it appears most are finally starting to get serious about buying.  That, and based on the number of showings on my listings, and I'm starting to feel hopeful that the summer rebounds just a bit.  It'll be interesting to see what the month of May holds.

Our April sales were up, days on the market were down, prices held pretty steady, but inventory increased, which was not a shock given that winter was finally going away!  There are a lot of people wanting to put their houses on the market now that it's warming up.

One last bit of news:  I received confirmation Friday that I passed my exam on my last CRS course and have been accepted and approved for CRS -- so now I'm official!

Here's to a great week of selling (and sailing!).

Sometimes no amount of money is worth losing time with your family!
