March Showers Bring April Flowers...

Looks as if the Winter has finally passed and we are hitting Spring here in fine Columbia, SC - FINALLY! Can I get an AMEN?! It seems as if everywhere in the US endured a harsh Winter and Columbia was no different. Yes, we did pray and wish for a snow day, but all we got was freezing cold temperatures and busted pipes - backfired on us Southerns wishing for a little R&R. Maybe in 2016?

Which leads to my next topic - the booming housing market. It seems that shortly after the cold weather left us, the housing market has been running at full speed. It leaves me to wonder what the Summer (prime real estate season) will actually be like. All five homes above have lovely contracts and are set to close by April 10th. A few even had multiple offers. It just goes to show, if it's a pretty decent home in a pretty decent location, it's just logic that it's gonna sell fast. 

It's so wonderful to see the housing market finally perking back up after years in a constant downturn. It's wonderful to see sellers in a place to sell and buyers in a place to buy.  The Spring has brought the showers that are bringing out the flowers all for a beautiful real estate season. 

Just remember folks, while you are "sleeping on it" others are "moving on it". 

Cheers!
