Sellers: 

We sound like a broken record, but now continues to be a great time to be a seller. With inventory lower than usual, prices steadily increasing, and multiple bids becoming a normality, every available property is more desirable than ever. However, as the weather warms, these stats could easily change, so if you are considering listing your property now is the time to get ahead of the game and speak to a knowledgeable listing agent today.
