With limited inventory and prospective buyers still in the market, listings that present well to the eye and in well maintained condition are sought after, although on the other end of the equation, listings in need of a face lift are being purchased by buyers keen to renovate and flip. Demand for vacant land has also had a resurgence, in particular, parcels that are level, with waterfront or water view. Builders are coming back to the market with an eye to construct spec homes and in a few instances, spec homes have gone to contract before breaking ground.
This Thanksgiving I am truly grateful to my clients, customers, friends and neighbors who make my work in real estate possible. As we enter the holiday season, I wish everyone good health, happiness and peace.
