Happy May!!
May we wish you all a happy May? As we move towards the warm weather we have the great news that the Governor of Arizona has opened the state. I think that we are all more than ready to get out and begin to find our new normal. It has been a very long and challenging year and I hope everyone is well. Amazingly enough, the year did not affect the real estate market from being one of the strongest markets I have worked in. The only negative is that of housing inventory shortage. The number of homes being listed is at an all time low. But on the other hand, the interest rates for buyers is also at an all time low. This makes for a very strong market and a great time to sell a home for the highest and best price. With Real Estate being an essential business we have been working on overtime in this market. But I do stop and recognize that many of our local businesses have not. The effects of COVID on our small local businesses has been a challenge. Between COVID closures and restrictions which have been pushing people to shop online, many small businesses are struggling to stay in business. Please as you are beginning to come out and about, remember to support our small hometown businesses. To find out what is going on in the community go to Theresadesoto.com for a community connection. If you are curious of what your home is worth feel free to contact us for a free consultation. And remember we can help you with all your real estate needs, whether buying your new home, selling your current home ……Or both!
Remember we are your friendly hometown Realtors
We are the deSoto Team and we are making dreams come true…one home at a time!
“Dear Little Violet,
Don’t be afraid!
Lift your blue eyes
From the rock’s mossy shade!
All the birds call for you
Out of the sky;
May is here, waiting,
And here, too, am I.”
by Lucy Larcom
