As we move into May the local real estate market is as strong as it has been
in many years. Shifting to a Seller’s market is something we have not seen
for a while but a welcome change. If there is a down side, we are
experiencing a lack of inventory for certain price ranges and styles of
homes. As Realtors we need to get the word out that it is a great time to sell
as the buyers are hungry for new homes coming to the market.
Even though your current Board members are busy selling and closing
homes they have been extremely dedicated to their responsibilities to the
Board by attending meetings and providing great input. Jackie has kept
everything organized and running smoothly at the office and I am truly
thankful for these extra efforts to keep the organization strong and moving
forward.
The Sheboygan Falls School District postponed the two information
sessions they were offering to Realtors as there was little interest. Please
consider attending one of these in the Fall when they will be offering this
again. Also check the calendar of events for upcoming opportunities for
education and involvement.
It is an exciting time to be a Realtor, Inspector, Appraiser, Loan Officer, and
Title Examiner. Our schedules will only get busier with graduations, weddings and festivals that start filling our weekends. Take the time to enjoy
the rewards of your hard work.
Barry
