Welcome to December with its preamble of cold, frost-speckled mornings and brilliant red and hot pink sunsets. Although typically a quieter time in the real estate world, December and January offer excellent opportunities for sellers to get a jump on the market.
SERIOUS BUYERS CONTINUE TO BE "IN THE MARKET!"
Although it can be a challenge to create a warm and inviting atmosphere on a bitter cold day - it could be well worth the effort. Currently, there are 24 active properties in Geneva National and 13 properties are under contract. In the newest GN neighborhood, The Views, we have 5 condos under contract and 1 with a deposit. If you have not yet taken time to visit The Views give me a call and let’s schedule your visit - they are beautiful!! Like most of Walworth County, we are approaching a “balanced market” in GN. No longer do sellers have a strong upper hand. When inventory increases and meets or comes close to meeting buyer demand, the balance of power shifts, creating opportunities that require strong negotiation skills. That’s why it’s important to work with the leader in Geneva National sales - I have been here for 21 years working in, negotiating in, and successfully selling in this neighborhood.
