The housing market continues to be sizzling hot resulting in higher home prices and quick-selling homes. Mortgage rates are up slightly, but are expected to remain at near record lows for the rest of the year.

The real estate market is in full bloom! According to the National Association of REALTORS®, home sellers this year have cited that they sold their homes for a median of $66,000 more than their original purchase price. If you are considering selling, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this flourishing real estate market and maximize the return on your biggest investment.

In addition to warmer weather, this Spring has also brought along a HOT real estate market. With increased vaccinations and an improving economy, many of the homeowners who decided not to sell in 2020 will likely be more open to moving later this year, thereby opening up more inventory for potential homebuyers.
