Well, for all the hype about the real estate market starting early this year, we’re not seeing much activity yet. Sure, a bunch of ugly, scary, roughed-up foreclosed homes hit the market early in January, but not much else has arrived yet.
My bets are on the post-Superbowl sellers. I think a lot of homeowners are waiting until the football season ends and the hope for warmer winds and spring begins.
So, if you’re not seeing what you want yet, don’t be discouraged. The cold Midwest always has a slow start to the spring market, no matter how hard we (i.e. Realtors and realty journalists) try to rev it up earlier in the year.
