The SELLER is the GOLDEN GOOSE in THIS rare Sellers Market...BUT how long will it last? Hurry and sell now before the market falls again, and it always does eventually.

BUYERS must hire a very skilled, creative, and connected real estate broker that can dig up INVISIBLE inventory before hitting the market, with this super low inventory in order to SELL their existing home at these record prices. Profit-wise, it is an ideal time to DOWNSIZE in a SELLERS MARKET; in contrast to being an ideal time to UPGRADE in a BUYERS MARKET.

30+ year local appraiser Mark Swift says he has never seen a market like this in all his years. "It is nearly impossible to price a home today."
