Weather Smalltalk
February 8th, 2010 - Linda Miller
Let’s talk weather – common topic. Always changing and out of our control! When we’re taught how to carry on a conversation the weather is a real “opener”. Last year our great northwest was buried in snow – really buried. I was reminded of the extent of our record breaking snow fall while looking through the tax records and saw a picture taken December 22, 2008. I couldn’t see the house!
While giving a chuckle and feeling very smug after having taken a walk outside without my coat, my sympathies were with the east coast residents. Weather patterns change and it does affect our real estate market. There are buyers looking at homes right now… and they can see what they are buying. This year’s mild winter has been a blessing for buyers and sellers! It’s time to get your home ready for market if you’re planning on making a move this year. Statistics tell us that spring is the most active time for buying and selling. Time to move!
