June?2016???????????????????????????????? ? ???????Well the real estate market continues to be quite busy but I was determined to get my June Newsletter out while it was still June! Traditionally the market slows down quite a bit in the summer months (summer 2015 was dismal) but it will be interesting to watch this year.?Given how strong the market was throughout the Spring?and the fact that?Buyers may try to buy before the increase in Transfer & Recordation Taxes, it is possible that buying activity will remain robust. There are still a lot of buyers out looking and buying and well priced homes in good condition are selling quickly.If you are thinking of selling your home?in 2016?I am happy to meet with you now to discuss improvements you may want to consider making to your home and market conditions for the Summer and remainder of the year.Please see the articles in the right hand column about?climbing prices for entry level homes?and what information buyers really want to know about homes for sale. I am happy to meet with you to discuss pricing and preparing your home for sale.Please visit my website at .
