Shortest Day of the Year

And it has been very cold out, hasn't it?

As we finish up the old year and bring in the new, I wanted to say that it has been a pleasure to be your source for real estate news in our local area. While every end-of the-year summary of mine has a fond look back at new friends and clients made and general progress and achievement noted, this year has been especially good for me.

And while there are problems with the overall housing market, with prices gently drifting downward and volume overall lower than years past, there is a lot of opportunity in the housing market as well.

Next week I will be taking a good hard look at our housing market, and making some projections based on a close examination of the numbers. While a couple of the readers will be awaiting this analysis with nearly held breath (and you know who you are!), realistically, the condition of the housing market depends on where you are and whether you are on the buying side, the selling side, or both.

In the meantime I have some Christmas shopping to finish up. Yes, once again work demands have pushed back the big shopping excursion, so am I at all close to being ready for friends and family? Nope! I will be among the crowds out there shopping my brains out. Joy to the World!

I hope that you and yours have a wonderful Christmas or whatever holiday that you celebrate this time of year!

And for those couple of buyers who just might be ready to see those homes I have told them about, go ahead and call me. We can fit in showing a couple of homes here and there over the next few days. Besides, wouldn't buying a home be an absolutely outstanding Christmas gift!?

Merry Christmas to one and all!
