MARKET ACTIVITY
Weekly Market Activity Report
 
"We are still not seeing a big surge in new listings or sales as we make our way into the springtime months. Housing activity around the country is generally lagging compared to last year at this time. Lower affordability due to higher mortgage rates and increasing prices could be the culprit for a slower start in 2018. It could also be that some locales have had unseasonably cold weather, holding some people back from listing or buying. Let's look at how the local market is doing." VIEW REPORT

If you do not have plans yet, consider the Red Cow & Red Rabbit Easter Brunch on April 1st from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. for an all-you-can-eat family style breakfast.
