Low Inventory

When real estate brokers have to scramble to find homes to show a family, we call the situation “low inventory.” That’s where we are these days!

By the time you take the family’s needs into consideration – price range, town or country, beds and baths, preferred age, preferred floor plan – there is not much choice. Many families don’t want to tackle a beat-up home or wait for a short sale. These factors limit the choice even more.

These families have carefully researched past sales and don’t even consider overpriced properties. They are just too cautious. They don’t seem to expect any quick appreciation, so they want to feel safe in the price they pay.

Usually spring brings lots of new inventory so …. If you know you want to make a move this year, you might want to “beat the rush” and get your home on the market soon!

A Winter Walk

I live in the old part of Loveland and I take a walk every day – even when my sidewalks and streets are icy and snow packed. If you are a walker, you know the challenge. I think a winter walk on icy streets is a great analogy to life.

You have to decide on your route. Where will there be the longest stretches of good dry street. Don’t even think about not walking that day because once you get started it goes pretty good even on a bad day. You have to look ahead, of course; but don’t look too far ahead. If you keep moving, the bad spot you noticed up ahead looks less formidable as you get closer. Sure enough, when you get there you find some little dry spots that you couldn’t see from a distance. Pick your way through and away you go again.

Isn’t it funny how much this mirrors life.
