🌸How’s the Spring Market Shaping Up? Here’s What We’re Seeing 👀
Spring is typically one of the busiest times in real estate, but this year, there are a few surprises. Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious, here’s what’s happening right now:
🏡 Inventory is... moving, yet accumulating. Some homes are flying off the market, while others are sitting longer than expected. Pricing and presentation matter more than ever.
💰 Rates are holding steady. While interest rates haven’t dropped significantly, savvy buyers are adjusting their strategies. Sellers are starting to adapt as well.
📊 Motivation is high. Buyers who paused last year are jumping back in, and many sellers are testing the market before the summer wave hits.
If you're wondering how this affects your real estate goals, we're happy to break it down for your specific situation.
Talk soon,

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT ELSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
Buyers want flexible homes. Here's what that means.
Remote work. Multi-generational living. Kids doing homework at the kitchen island.
Life is changing—and today’s buyers expect homes to keep up.
Adaptable spaces that can serve more than one purpose are becoming a top priority. Guest rooms that double as offices, finished basements that moonlight as media rooms or rental suites, and dining areas that function as study zones during the week—all of it matters.
In our latest blog, we break down what “multi-functional” really means, how to design or stage a multiuse room, and why it’s one of the most powerful marketing tools a home can have.
