Welcome to summer!!! Whether it is or isn't officially, it certainly feels like it-no rain, 90-degree days, staying light until 9:30PM, kids out of school. It is summer. Our precocious 6-year old, however argues with Brigid every day about it not being summer yet technically. Geez!! Since when did she become Miss Know-It-All? Which leads me to my next topic...
Happy Father's Day!!! As an old friend once told me, 'Being a parent is the toughest job you will ever love'. Boy, was he right on both accounts!! Lately, Ana has been arguing with us on just about anything and everything (see paragraph above), and we have become so tired of her attitude. After talking with friends, we apparently are in good company. However, even with the arguing, I love being a daddy to my two beautiful girls. Sure, it is trying but I always feel a little sad when I drop my girls off to school and am always happy to see them in the afternoon when they return home. Isn't that the way it is supposed to be? I have no idea what my girls will make me for Father's Day, but I know whatever it is, it will be perfect and I will love it! Just seeing how happy they are to have made it is the most important part.
We are very much looking forward a most-needed vacation at the end of the summer taking a cruise with our girls. It should be a lot of fun and will be our major vacation of the year.
As for the market, it has taken off like a rocket!!! There is actually a shortage of good homes out there right now. I am seeing and writing multiple offers on the same property in under a week! Sometimes, they are even selling for above list price! This is becoming more and more common. If you are considering re-financing, good news!! I am also seeing appraisals come in much higher than they have historically. Most people I know who have re-financed are pleasantly surprised with the value.
Closed sales are up 16.1%, median sales price is up 6%, and inventory is down 11.8% for all of MIBOR. Distressed sales are also going down. Bottom line, our market is healing!
