Shameless Plug of the Month: Don’t forget to get your Santa Letters out! It’s that time of year and Santa needs to know what you would like under the tree. Have them in the mail by December 7th! No postage required! Santa’s address is: Santa Clause, North Pole, HOH OHO, Canada.
Real Estate Update – Tis the season to deck some new halls! Our market still has plenty of buyers looking for homes and while many sellers put off listing during the holidays, there are some great reasons to list now: there aren’t a lot of homes on the market this time of year, only serious buyers are out looking right now, and homes often look their best during the holiday season. Give me a call if you’re thinking of making a move!
