Spring, robins, and the market heating up. The cycle begins again.
The other day I decided that winter was over. (Just after we had the last cold front move out, that is.) Now we're seeing sixty degree days and a nice south wind to dry things out. It won't be long before the farmers can get out into their fields. Life is good.
Along with the temperature, it seems buyers' collective interest is heating up. We've had lots of people come to open houses, and I've had buyers call me to look at places they've been eyeing for a while online. One set even coming from California! (Don't you love the internets?)
So, what does that mean for you?
If you're a buyer, get out there NOW, because there are a lot of you starting to look at Mankato real estate. Real estate outside Mankato, too. (Check out my $5,000 Buyer Savings Guarantee.)
If you're a seller, you might want to put your home on the market sooner than later to catch some of this springtime enthusiasm. Buyers love real estate in the spring. (Don't forget, I have an Easy-Exit Listing Agreement, and some of the best online marketing around.)
And this morning I saw my first robin! But the person I was showing a house to told me that, actually, robins don’t really go anywhere during the winter, that they just hang out in sloughs with lots of tall grass. He said he sees them in his backyard all winter long.
I guess I’m not sure what I think about that. Robins heralding spring is pretty traditional, after all.
Maybe I’ll google <robins in winter> and see what I can find out. I’ll let you know.
