April “was” CENTURY 21 Open House Month

This coming weekend is the last of the “April is CENTURY 21 Open House Month” promotion. It was a great success. Our Company held a total of 58 open houses over the 6 week promotion period and the results were everything we hoped for. Lots of foot traffic, the weather cooperated and there were opportunities galore for our agents to talk with buyers. It was a great kick-off to our Spring market here in North Central Connecticut.

Equally important to showing off our homes for sale were the face to face communications that took place. We shared with the buying and selling public the story of the local market – real estate is local, local, local.

Interest rates are at historic lows, first time home-buyer programs, such as FHA and CHFA, are still looking to lend AND though prices are trending down, they are not “crashing”, plummeting” or even “nose-diving” as the headlines would indicate.

Higher than normal inventory levels allow today’s buyers to enjoy a calmer pace to their home shopping, while being able to choose from a variety of features and benefits.
