The State Of Saugeen Shores Real Estate

Well, it has been a little bit of a strange start to the Spring real estate season. The 3 weeks leading up to last week were quite slow which is out of the ordinary. This is usually the time when potential Buyers start to get itchy feet and want to make a move. Whether it is the first time home buyer or the person who wants to move up a bit, Spring and the nice weather seem to bring it out. Now, having said this, this past week has seen a bit of a turn around. In speaking with a couple of mortgage brokers, I find that they too have seen a little more activity. Perhaps it was just the cooler weather that the Spring started with or perhaps it was just a little hesitation because of what is happening south of the border; whatever it was, it seems to have taken a little bit of a turn and the Buyers are now back out looking for their piece of real estate. With the way that Port Elgin is growing and a new subdivison being planned for Southampton, things seem to be, once again, heading in a positive direction.
