The Neighborhood Connection: April

Welcome to April

We have been teased lately with some amazing sunny days—a very welcome change! Birds are starting to return from their winter vacations, we are seeing fresh green growth on the vegetation and we are able to get outside and soak up the sun (getting a much needed dose of Vitamin D!). A very welcome change indeed!

And, speaking of warm welcomes, I am thrilled to share news about our team’s newest addition! Marta, our beloved Client Services Director, delivered baby Olivia on March 17 at 3:46am! Weighing in at 6lbs, 8oz, she’s as cute as can be (not surprising at all given the gene pool!), healthy and happy! Mom (and Dad) are doing great too (albeit a little tired). Huge congratulations to them!

As for news in the world of real estate, well, it’s been an “interesting” year to say the least. I heard a term used recently that is quite apropos: radical uncertainty. I think that pretty much sums it up in two brief words. It’s been a wild ride this year in the financial and banking sectors, with the news of recent weeks being a bit of a shock to the system. Each week seems to bring new/different news, both good and bad, making it tough to predict, with any degree of certainty, what the future may hold.

The bright side of all the chaos that has ensued is that we are seeing mortgage interest rates pull back, and the Fed relaxing their position on future rate increases. That will invariably have a positive impact on the real estate market, now and moving forward. I remain steadfast in the belief that we have bottomed out for pricing and, while the road is bumpy now, we are on track to find more balance, consistency, and predictability by year’s end.

As is always the case, we are here for you, as your trusted advisors, as you consider your next move.

Curious to learn more? Please reach out as I would love to catch up over a cup of coffee or a drink!
