They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and so, when COVID-19 landed on us in the busiest real estate market in decades, we realized some changes would need to be made.

People acquire real estate for a number of different reasons.

Whether it be a first time buyer, someone transferring in or out of the area, a move up buyer wishing to accommodate a growing family, or an empty nester looking for a home more suited to his current lifestyle.

If there were any questions or doubts about whether the market would regain its hectic pace after the Christmas break, those doubts were quickly dissolved with the arrival of the sales figures for the month of January 2021.
