T.S. Elliot wrote long ago, “April is the cruelest month”, but that was not the case for our Broker/Owners helping home sellers take advantage of the market while they still can. Reports have varied by market, of course, but many are witnessing longer times to transition from the MLS listing to closing. Homes are still selling swiftly overall, with some softening of prices in favor of buyers – finally.
Clear front runner for April is the Big Kahuna on Oahu, Richard Cricchio of Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties. Richard’s team closed out the fourth month with 14 total sides, proving that Hawaii remains a blazing hot market regardless of changes to mortgage rates.
Next up is a tie for second place between Patrick Wood of Help-U-Sell Prestige Properties in Chino Hills, California, and Jack Bailey at Help-U-Sell Greensboro in North Carolina. Both teams brought in nine sides for the month.
Right behind them in third place is Kimber Regan of Help-U-Sell The Smart Choice in Hanford, California, and Jeff Hedberg and his team at Help-U-Sell Real Masters of Port Huron, Michigan. Seven is the lucky number for both offices with a healthy mix of seller and buyer sides to make for a solid month.
Fourth place is another tie between Phil Sims of Help-U-Sell Sims Realty in Addison, Texas, and Debra Schmidt of Help-U-Sell Heritage Real Estate of Steele County Inc. in Owatonna, Minnesota. Five total sides for April means there was always a deal in play, every day.
