In the Northeast, we know how harsh and long the winters can be… however, this has been one of the worst in recent memory. The record amount of snow we saw this winter had an affect on the real estate market. With sidewalks blocked, parking spaces marked, streets not plowed; etc. It made it difficult to show property. This weather kept a lot of buyers inside, and sellers off the market. As we head in to the final stages of winter, the spring market has begun to come alive. Over the last few weeks listing activity has picked up. Along with the new listings, there are many buyers who have awakened from their seasonal hibernation.
