April showers and higher interest rates! Will it rain on the spring selling season? Yet to be seen, but activity has picked up in Deercreek. Is it because there are more buyers, or because sellers are making their homes more desirable? It is interesting what a fresh coat of paint, new lighting, or manicured landscaping does to a buyer’s perspective on the entire home.
