So I Didn't Imagine It...

The Plain Dealer reported today that December home sales were up. So I didn't imagine that I was crazy busy late last year! The holidays are typically a VERY quiet time real estate agents. But I found just the opposite this year...I was even showing houses right up until Christmas eve!

The PD said that Northeast Ohio home sales rose 10.6% from November to December. This was for both previously owned homes and new construction.

Thankfully, January seems to be just as busy. The lesson here...if you are thinking of listing your home, NOW is the time. Don't wait until the spring market is in full force and there's twice the competition.
