Here we are in the dog days of summer.
Usually, that means a bit of a slow down for real estate as most buyers would still be vacationing and most agents would be holding their listings for a post labor day launch and the official start to the Fall market.
But this year, it's different.
Remember, real estate was initially deemed nonessential and all business came to a halt. It wasn't long before we could start to work again but rightfully so, many sellers and buyers were cautious to enter back in to the market - either delaying the launch of their listing or pausing their home search.
Now, in Marin in late July, we are seeing the effects of a delayed Spring Market with more and more properties available for sale and most of those going into contract quickly.
We got a dog days summer market and it's moving fast. Let me know if you want to enter in.
The ancient Romans called the hottest, most humid days of summer “dies caniculares” or “dog days.”
The name came about because they associated the hottest days of summer with the star Sirius. Sirius was known as the “Dog Star” because it was the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog).
The Dog Days of Summer are between July 22 and August 22.
