March 2020 Update

Warmer weather brings out the buyers.

😍

Warmer weather, melting snow and puddles mean spring is coming; at least, it felt that way this past week. So after a fairly quiet winter, I all of a sudden got very busy. Thank you, Lord!

I listed two new homes in February and they both sold in one day. Then a few days ago a home that has been on the market for 4 months sold.

I was privileged to help five other buyer clients find homes in the past three weeks. Homes are selling like crazy in Fergus Falls, but we just don’t have enough inventory to keep up with demand.

So again, if you are thinking of selling, now is a great time to list. Give me a call at 218-205-6568.

The Fergus Falls housing market continues to be a seller’s market with low inventory of homes for sale, yet a strong buyer demand.

The best time to sell anything is when demand for that item is high and the supply of that item is limited. The latest Existing-Home Sales Report released by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), reveals that demand for housing continues to be strong, but the supply is struggling to keep pace. With this trend likely continuing throughout 2020, now is a great time to sell your house.

If you are one of the many seniors who desires to retire in the same area you’ve always lived, you’re not alone. Will your current house fit your needs throughout retirement? If you have any questions about demand for your house, let’s get together to discuss the opportunities available today!

The inventory of homes for sale is just starting to increase in Fergus Falls, buyers are out in force, and interest rates have remained low, piquing the interest of buyers and sellers previously on the fence about making a move. Each day we are seeing new listings show up in Fergus Falls, but they are not nearly enough to meet demand. Often these new listings sell within days of coming on the market.

Cornerstone of the American Dream is Home Ownership!

Home Ownership and the American Dream

“The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

The famous quote attributed to Mark Twain can apply to homeownership in the United States today. During the housing bubble of the last decade, the homeownership rate soared to over sixty-nine percent. After the crash, that percentage continued to fall for the next ten years.

It is common knowledge that a great number of homes sell during the spring buying season. For that reason, many homeowners hold off putting their homes on the market until then. The question is whether or not that is a good strategy this year.
