The pre spring market keeps its momentum up with a similar showing to last week. Clients, peers and colleagues alike all have the same word on their lips...availability!  Single family homes in the starter home section are flying off the market and condos sales are hotter then ever. Builders are enjoying the ability to sell their homes before build as  home buyers clammer to lock in an interest rate and choice of property with the lack of selection on the market right now. One can only wonder if this a sample of things to come as the hottest time of year looms closer.
