Closed escrows are the fruit of hard work. The prepping of an upcoming listing often begins months before a closing is on the books. A buyer's search for a home starts months before the purchase happens. A flower does not produce a blossom overnight. It must be planted and tended, A real estate transaction is no different. It takes time, preparation and skill to generate a real estate sale.
There are always exceptions to the rule; last year a buyer was referred to me. We looked at two houses and they bought the first one I showed them. We closed escrow thirty days later. Those slam dunk deals are delightful, but the reason we remember them so vividly is because they occur so rarely.
I am encouraged by the number of homes I showed this month and the number of showings my listings received. It is the most active spring market I've worked since 2005. Now it is time to move the showings to contracts and the escrows to closed sales.
The local real estate market is showing signs of increased activity with a slight increase in prices and a large increase in number of sales. The media is reporting positive stories. Can recovery be far behind?
