We are now in the Winter Selling Season, November and December, yet looking at the activity report, activity remains robust for this time of year.
But remember, we have two markets — one abgov e $500,000 and another below $500,00.

To show you how much our society has changed, the number of single females purchasing homes is the highest ever. The chart below shows
single females make up 18% of all sales across the USA. Reasons, females marry later in life and live longer thus the large number of older females purchasing homes. If you wonder about how many single males purchase homes, well, it’s less than half that of single females. We think that is because single males are chasing the single females too much and not thinking about buying a home quite yet.
Enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday!
