“The best investment on Earth is earth.”
- Louis Glickman, American Business Executive
Hi dear Friends, Clients, and Colleagues,
I'd like to say that "Spring is Upon Us", but it seems like every time we begin that sentence, a new snow storm jumps in to interrupt. No complaints here, the ski conditions and lake-filling snow have been phenomenal! Last week, we were being graced with a few new inches of snow, however this Saturday it was 50 degrees outside and gorgeous blue bird skies- the trails were melting, the lighter jackets and hiking boots coming out from hibernation, and felt as though the ever-changing real estate market locally was too.
Historically, April has been the jump start to more housing inventory coming available as the foliage begins to return, and pools, boats, and RV's begin to de-winterize. There are many buyers that have been on the sidelines waiting for this surge and watching the market daily, so we anticipate a busier summer market with activity increasing on both sides. Homes that are in turn-key shape, nicely updated, and well priced are still going under contract. Days on market are still up moreso than the last two years, but there have been multiple factors that impacted that buyer hesitation including the uniquely heavy weather, interest rates, and news of the big bank closure.
Speaking of which, following the headlines of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, the Signature Bank failure and FDIC takeover, it’s hard not to wonder – where is my money safe?
Unlike stocks, real estate markets won’t fall overnight; it’s just not how they respond. And the annual yield of real estate, typically, is more secure than other assets. Additionally, unlike watching your money go up or down on the computer screen, real estate is a tangible asset you can physically use right now. Not only does it provide safety and security, but it offers a lifetime of family memories, all while it invests. It's difficult not to react quickly to world news, however these are all important factors to keep in mind.
In the next few weeks we will be analyzing the numbers from the first quarter of the year and look forward to sharing our takeaways in our Quarterly Report.
