VIRTUAL TOURS & FACETIME SHOWINGS CONSISTENT DURING PANDEMIC

Covid-19 has caused inventory of homes to decrease, but demand is still high! Many sellers put their homes in temporary status when the shelter in place order started, but buyers still need to buy! When an updated home that is priced right goes on the market, it is selling FAST and for a GREAT price. Many homes are selling in MULTIPLE OFFERS! Experts are saying the low inventory/high demand situation is providing sellers with a nice little increase in their sales price!

Although Covid-19 has changed the way we do business, we are still doing a lot of business . Many precautions have been put in place with the selling of homes. Masks & gloves are worn by agents & buyers. "No touch" showings! Only the parties signing the contract & their agents are allowed. Most agents are also offering virtual tours for their listings & facetime showings!

If you are thinking about selling your home, contact your realtor to talk about how to do it in a way that you and your family feel comfortable and safe!
