Up 'n down

Published On: May 9, 2011


Market activity seems to be up and down a lot this spring.  From almost hectic listing and buying to almost dead.  Certainly, the economy has something to do with the variation and the weather seems to speed up or slow activity but this year real estate transactions in the Illinois Valley area seem to be marching to their own drummer.  Buyers may not be in a hurry to commit with the number of homes on the market and sellers seem to be waiting for the right price and buyer.  My advice to both is to keep in touch with market dynamics and be prepared to make and negotiate offers.  Keep in the game!  Although spring is here, fall and winter are coming all too soon.
