That s what several local real estate agents said when asked for an overview of the real estate scene. All things considered, most of them are optimistic, and with good reason.
Prices are high, and many area agents chalked up stellar sales last year.
But even those in the million dollar plus club say they could do better if they had more listings. The problem common to every agency contacted is lack of clients, not customers. In a classic supply and demand scenario, surplus or scarcity of either one tips the scales, while an ample supply of homes for sale and a steady stream of buyers keeps things in balance. Hopefully, area agents say, things will pick up in the spring, as they traditionally do. For the time being, though, people are staying put instead of selling, adding on rather than moving up.
