I hope your summer has been off to a wonderful start! I recommend paddle boarding at Hosmer Lake in early evening with no crowds or a hike at Meadow Camp or Dillon Falls before the day heats up. Clear Lake, Blue Pool, Sahalie Falls and Salt Creek Falls are worth the drive but it's also easy to stay within 15 minutes of town to get your nature fix. Summer concerts, Farmers Markets, and First Friday art walks are in full force! As for real estate, it's been joyful to help buyers and sellers get what and where they want. When people ask me about the market, my answer reflects this expert opinion: “It’s a very strange market, and it’s kind of hard to predict,” said Jeff Ostrowski, a housing analyst at Bankrate.com. More homes are on the market per seasonal trends, but we have more inventory now than we did a year ago. In certain price points, buyers are feeling more negotiating power due to having more options. As always, I'm here to help even if you're not currently looking to buy or sell. Our homes remain one of our most important assets so staying up to date on the market is a great way to ascertain how to manage this asset over time: buy, sell, hold or enjoy forever.
