Good morning Nina. The only thing in shorter supply than homes in your area on a national basis is toilet paper! I could not resist! Enjoy your day!

Wayne Martin ha ha, Wayne. Fortunately, I have no shortage of paper towels or toilet paper in my household... I stock up whenever it's on huge sale. So now all I need to worry about is lack of inventory. :)

Good morning, Nina. Lack of inventory has certainly been driving the market this year. Approximatly how many homes do you currently have on the market?

I'm still not believing how crazy this market has been for the past few years - it may take the Coronavirus for us to pick up on some inventory but, I really don't even think that is going to happen. 

Great report, Nina! Hope you have a great week ahead.

Debe Maxwell, CRS thanks, Debe... not sure the coronovirus will speed up more properties coming on market... I suspect people  will shy away until there's more of a resolution... then again, what do I know? Crazy times for sure. Happy Monday!
