I don’t know about you – however, I am certainly ready for
spring. With record snowfall amounts and
blistering cold temperatures, real estate activity in the region has been at
almost a standstill. If you are like most of my clients and friends,
the last thing you were interested in doing was traipsing around the city
finding new office space, a new home or a new investment (and don’t even
mention standing outside at an auction).
The only thing that most of us were concentrated on was
getting to work without getting our damn car stuck and then getting home to
clear our driveways before nightfall fell upon us. Once I finally got inside, got my coat off,
removed by rubber shoe covers (which I am sick of wearing) – I was ready for a
cocktail or 2 glasses of wine!
With the warmth of last week and the promise of spring
starting to enter our thoughts… we have begun to see a flurry of activity in
the market that I have not seen since I put up my Christmas tree. This
sentiment I believe is being felt throughout the entire industry including my
friends in banking, title insurance and new construction.
Like a racehorse waiting behind the gate in anticipation for
the buzzer to sound … the real estate market is just as ready to explode into
what I believe will be an active spring with strong demand in the market place.
