Okay, maybe I am exaggerating, but let me tell you…I was away last week and while I was gone I received several inquiries from potential buyers and sellers, as well as messages from people I haven’t heard from in quite some time. It’s a good thing I have a great team who stayed behind in Basking Ridge while I was at the beach. We had three requests for market values on Basking Ridge homes, two past house-hunters back to look at more homes, one past potential seller called for an update and hopes to list in October. I had an offer accepted on a listing, one offer made on a short sale property, one new buyer ready to go out and look at condos (already planning second visits and talking to a mortgage rep), and a listing that had previously not had many showings had at least four this past week. No kidding – all of these things happened during the week of August 14th. I also have three listings getting ready to come on the market right around Labor Day (an in-town colonial with a pool, a Prince Edward Point colonial also with a pool and a cute cape in Bernardsville).
I thought August was supposed to be quiet in the real estate market. I hope this is a sign of an upcoming busy fall market!
