For Sale Signs Popping Up

It's almost Spring. That means people will start moving around and the for sale signs will become obvious after a very long winter. Particularly in this neighborhood people tend to move sooner and more often than most - elections and middle school seem to drive the action to alternate places. One of the main differences between here and Milwaukee is how quickly the sales are made. We recently had a conversation with our then agent and he mentioned the bidding wars going on over the low volume of available homes. Yesterday was an open house for a one bedroom apartment and there was a rush of people checking it out long past the closing time. Many of them were quite enthusiastic taking photos of the building afterwards. I wouldn't be surprised if it sells within the week. Our home sold the day we put it on the market in Milwaukee - it was priced well and nicely renovated. The sad thing is that it was equal in value to the tiny place we live in today. Let's just hope that if and when we want to sell our property here that it remains a hot market. We just can't decide if and when but are sure it won't be any place with snow and ice.
