  Market Update | December 2023

Hey, Friends! With winter painting our surroundings and the ski slopes bustling, there’s a world of excitement to explore in and around the city. I’ve cherry-picked some amazing events for you to enjoy this December.

The Real Estate Market has seen a run of demand to finish the year as interest rates have plunged nearly a full percent from 1 month ago. Expect spring buying season to start a bit early with a drive up in prices next year as demand picks up. If you’re on the edge of selling or buying and we haven’t already discussed strategy make sure to give me a call as 2024 is likely to have a lot of pent up demand and we’ll want to position you for the right situation and opportunities.

If you want to discuss any specific topic, feel free to reach out. Wishing you a delightful holiday season, brimming with joy and adventure!
