Twice this week I have had buyers preparing to write an offer on a home they had seen in the last few days and we find out that an offer was just accepted. In both cases we knew these houses were awesome values the second we stepped in to them. Yup, the Spring Market is quickly coming upon us and that means more buyers going after those few choice properties.
While it is next to impossible for us to sell as many homes in the next few months as we did this time last year (when the tax credit was just about to expire), there are signs that showing activity is picking up nicely and that the housing market activity is finally recovering from the enormous hangover we had after the tax credit expired last year.
In my case I have two buyers that are quite disappointed but also now much more prepared to act quickly the next time they find a truly awesome house. Let this be a warning to the rest of you: be prepared and be decisive!
