It's great to be hearing more and more positive items about the overall economy and the Real Estate market.  I can report that my personal activity has really picked up over the last few weeks; both with buyers and sellers.  It feels that the bottom for overall consumer confidence has been reached or is certainly quite close.

In between an open house for a new listing and showing a new buyer on Saturday, May 16; I spoke with an agent in my Windermere-Yarrow Bay office that was working on his 4th offer of the weekend.  That evening, I spoke with an agent who received offers on 6 different listings all in one day!   Sunday was also busy for me, with an open house for a new Kirkland Highlands listing and previewing for a new buyer client. It would be naive to think this indicates an immense turn-around in the local real estate market, but it is certainly an indicator of a warming trend.
