The weather is picking up, and so is the market!

Well, hopefully, you're all safe and sound and not too worn out from all the shoveling.  If you are interested in town data, I have put the last week's statistics for each town on their respective sites, although you can always e-mail me with any questions that you have, or interpretations that you might want. Tomorrow is a great day to look at houses- you just never know when the right one is going to come, but I will tell you this, and it is absolutely true.  No matter how pushy the salesman, no one can sell you a house that you don't want.  Personally, I will tell a pushy salesman to get lost. Here's what I know and understand in my heart-  YOU will know it's your house when you walk in.  The best agents (like me!) will just get you to that house, understand the emotions surrounding the purchase, and get you the best deal possible.

Snow, snow and more snow! But there is a bright side!

Of course there is! depending on your real estate situation, you can do the following:

Buying - Don't be afraid to go look at houses in this weather! You can learn more than you think! See  how well the street is plowed, if any ice accumulates in certain areas around your home, and whether there is any noticeable heat loss near any of the windows and doors.

Selling - Make sure there is a clean pathway to your home!! That includes the driveway! There is nothing worse for an agent AND A BUYER who  cannot access your property safely. Just the other day, my client fell on the walk going to the house. He soured on that home before he even got to the door. Don' let it happen to you.  Also, take this homebound opportunity to spruce up closets, cabinets or that catch-all area that may be in the garage, basement or porch. Your home will show better for it.
