Good morning to the Springtime buying season,
As we prepare ourselves for the joy of the Spring Buying Season, it’s time to give special consideration to the ‘Millenials. They are far more interesting, intelligent, and fun, than the too often described: “all tech”, “no touch”, “detached”, and “unappreciative” of customer service. The Good News: There is no such box. Yes they are highly educated and tech savvy. But far more. They also have a “learn-by-experience” awareness of being financially conservative, wanting to be sure things are done correctly. This makes them excellent home buyers. Contrary to media presentation, working with them shows them to be financial and economically sound. I find this inspiring, giving hope for our shared tomorrow.

The combination helped put the brakes on our local property sales and prices, though nationwide values are up over 4 %. Good News: Fears of interest rates have been calmed, negotiations with China are positive, and the stock market has recovered from institutional gaming. Bottom line: Pent-up demand, good inventory, waiting for Spring. Are you ready? Call today.
3) Paraphrasing economist Dr. Chris Thornberg to a group of Silicon Valley investors: “The economy, the charts, jobs, says everything is the best we have seen in 25 years!”
I am thrilled by this opportunity and for those ready to act in this market.
Market Concerns:
1) Will Federal Reserve policy keep its promise to not raise rates, without solid evidence.
2) Slowdown? Based upon the above, it is not imminent. History will have to wait.
