Agent Insight

“Each year we see the same pattern: listings are tight through winter, then surge from mid-September into summer. Sellers who act now are benefiting from less competition and stronger prices, while buyers planning ahead can take advantage of increased choice later in the year. Sell in a low-stock market, buy when the stock returns.”
