article-1252055-085CB854000005DC-65_468x418As of early April, there was about 6 months supply of homes for sale.  That’s 30% less than supply at the same time last year and very close to market stabilization.  For the first time in a long time, we’re seeing a very real lack of inventory in desirable neighborhoods. Sales are up this year as well, and we’re heading into the busiest season for home sales: May through July.  So is it time to put your home on the market?  It depends.

Some of the questions to consider:

The Olympics Take Over World Golf Village – Relay for Life 2012!

April 16, 2012

jockAnother successful year raising money for the cure! World Golf Village neighbors, businesses, friends and family came out on Saturday to celebrate, remember, and fight back against cancer. We had beautiful sunny weather with cool breezes to keep us going around the track over and over again. Davidson agents and staff signed up to walk at all hours from 3 pm to 9 am. The Davidson Companies raised even more money than last year, totaling over $4,000 (including sponsorship money)! Jock Ochiltree, Davidson Agent and cancer survivor, was our highest fundraiser, raising over $1,200 himself!

Jock Ochiltree and Roberta Hicks, our two cancer survivors, proudly took the first lap with all the other survivors to kick off the relay. For me, this is the most powerful part of relay. It really put everything into perspective and shows why you relay in the first place – we WILL find a cure!

People had a blast walking the track, while the DJ kept the music coming. There was a huge bouncy house for the kids and all the tents were stocked with fun for everyone. Teams were selling raffle tickets for amazing gift packages, cake pops, glow sticks, glow-in-the-dark glasses, food, necklaces, and more! Read more
