Happy New Year!

 

Thanks to all my past, present and repeat clients 2018 was a great year, both professionally and personally. I reached my 40 year mark as a Realtor and was awarded Realtor Emeritus status from the National Association of Realtors.

 

The local market also hit new heights last year with prices continuing to rise at a rapid pace, for example we had 71 sales in Arlington over a million dollars in 2018. Although there is change in the air we expect the local market to remain robust as it continues to be fueled by demand outpacing supply for 2019.

 

As always, if you, a family member, friend or co-worker are thinking of Buying or Selling please be sure to keep me in mind.

November Real Estate Update

 

Hope you all remembered to set your clocks back this morning, it’s that time of year again. Please remember to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, it could save your life!

 

To be brief, the market is still chugging along, still seeing multiple offers on most properties, mortgage rates are still low and inventory is decent depending on price range.

 

I currently have quite a few new construction homes available pre-construction if you or anyone you know is interested. We will be offering a pre-construction Buyer rebate for anyone buying direct from us.

 

I am also very excited to welcome Elizabeth Diggins to my team. Liz is very active around Town and looks forward to helping anyone looking to Buy or Sell.

Hello All,

 

Hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween, it certainly was a nice night for it. As we enter November, we expect the market to cool down a bit as we get closer to the Holiday’s, but there is no sign of that yet, based on the activity I have seen at recent Open Houses that I have hosted. Rates remain very attractive and inventory remains low to moderate.

 

As always, if you or any of your friends or family have any real estate questions or needs, I’m here to help with honest and caring service.

Hello All,

 

I hope you are all getting ready for some Summer fun and relaxation. After this hectic Spring Market I know I ‘m ready for a little time off.

 

As I mentioned the market has been very hectic with homes coming on the market and quickly going under agreement, a great market for selling. On the Buying side, Buyers are faced with a very competitive marketplace and need to be well prepared and represented by an experienced agent. As you all know I’m here to guide you whether you are Selling and/or Buying.
