As the calendar has flipped over for 2012 and we rolled through January, I was quite surprised to look at my tour sheet for the month and see what a huge increase in tours I had for the beginning of the year. Up 30% over January last year. I think that many in the business will concur: we've turned a corner. The market is changing -- and for the better. Activity is just the beginning. It translates into offers and ultimately sales. We've been hearing that things in Silicon Valley have been "hot" for the last 6-8 months. I think that we may finally be seeing the increased activity moving south to the Monterey Peninsula as well.
Dare I say it, but I'm optimistic for 2012. It's a great time to be a buyer in today's market. Let me know if I can help turn your real estate ideas into a reality.
