This year's mild winter, healthier inventory levels and steady climb in interest rates have made for a busier than normal early spring market.

Buyers who had been on the fence in recent months have gotten serious.

They can go they can take their time and when they find the right thing they can move forward. There is money available. There is product out there. It is a good time to be a buyer.

Buyers were faced with higher mortgage rates, increased inventory levels, and bold predictions of major price corrections last fall, prompting many to postpone their home search until after the first of the year.

Our strong seller's market has been replace by a more balanced one that will help stabilize home prices.

The accelerated sales pace of recent years has all but ended, and we're returning to a more normal market.
