Merry Christmas Episode and how the Real Estate Market feels anything but like Christmas!

Greetings friends,

 

Is everyone ready for Christmas?  Which 2-3 family members made the cut to come over for the holidays?  Either way, I am ready to be festive and enjoy some downtime.  We here have been working A LOT all year and all the way to literally the day before Christmas, we have been working.  Busiest December I can remember.

 

The Real estate market is on fire, and not just a small flame, but seems like a super sellers market right now.  Homes that sold 30 days ago, now seem to be up 5-8% in different cities in a matter of days and prices continue to climb.  Many clients and buyers are getting priced out of areas, types of homes and have to pivot or even consider quitting.  It's getting messy out there.  Here are a couple of stories about what is really happening out there as buying a house all of a sudden has the same feeling as going to war, with no guarantee of winning.

 

Merry Christmas and happy new years everyone!
