WHAT A START TO THE YEAR!
The new decade ushered in quite a rush on sales! We experienced the effects of considerable pent-up consumer demand in the first two months of 2020. Inventory was flying off the shelf; certain homes and condos had multiple interested parties, something we have not seen as much of in recent months. The January sales figures across the two-county area support this evidence. Enjoy the read!
