How excited everyone is to have this wonderful Memorial Day weekend to celebrate and enjoy family events at the beach, in the mountains or just at home in the backyard. Cookouts are planned with family and friends. However, we must all pause to remember those who gave their all that we may enjoy times such as this, as free citizens of this great country. We are all in debt to those brave citizen soldiers who came before us. Their sacrifice make all of this possible.

Have a great Memorial Day, but take a minute to salute old Glory, our Flag. We are so lucky and blessed.

NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO BE A BUYER OR A SELLER OR BOTH

The best selling/buying time of the year begins about the middle of February to the first of March. People start to look around for finding a bigger or smaller house in the spring, plus those who plan to move when school lets out begin the process in the spring.

This year, the interest rates are behaving and are still historically low. Rates will probably go higher by 2020, so the time to take advantage of these low rates is now. Do not be a fence sitter because these opportunities do not last forever.  It is a great time to be a buyer.

Inventory levels are still low in our area, so demand is high. Multiple offers are now commonplace. Offers are usually on the higher end, so it is a great time to be a seller, too.

I am celebrating 50 years (1968-2018) as a licensed real estate professional this year. It is hard for me to believe all the changes that have taken place over this 50 year period. We did not have computers, cell phones, fax machines or even a copy machine. We used carbon paper for copies, quarters for phone calls and we used snail mail exclusively.

The life of a real estate professional moves much faster today. One cannot procrastinate at all due to the speed at which information and communication ravels. Also there are so many more agents and companies competing for listings and buyers.

One thing that has not changed is our Lindsey's motto which is the Golden Rule: "Treat others the way you want to be treated." We make every effort to live up to that standard every day.
