With the Golden Horseshoe experiencing a very cold winter, breaking records on the coldest January days, spring was slow coming this year. It’s a funny thing, but we are such creatures of habit. As the days lengthen, the sun starts to show its face and temperatures pop up above those frosty winter norms we all come out of hibernation. It’s even more apparent in the housing business. Early in the spring, trying to divine if the year will be busy, we look for clues. The recent interest rate increases and dire warnings from the government regarding the monetary tightening seemed foreboding. The listings of Homes for sale in Burlington felt stagnant for a spell. The phone was also quiet in the early spring and real estate news seemed glum. Fast forward a couple of months and a few degrees in temperature. Here we are in May and perhaps it’s the optimism of a budding spring but in our neck of the woods things are heating up to be a very busy year!
