Real Estate Update – The Spring market is soon moving into the summer market and real estate is not slowing down, with many Dartmouth properties getting multiple offers and selling over list price. There is a steady increase of inventory but still not enough supply for all of the buyers in our increasing population growth. Are you ready to take that step? Do you have questions? I’d love to chat with you about the upcoming market.
