"When we decided to buy a condo in Mammoth, we asked around about realtors, and Nancy was highly recommended. We had fairly specific things we were looking for, and Nancy was great. We ended up deciding we wanted a condo that was a short sale, and 11 months later, we got it – but only because Nancy would not give up. She truly gave us 110% in making the deal happen. What was also impressive was the fact that our 1bed/1bath condo was probably one of the lowest priced condos on the market at the time, yet Nancy worked as if it was a million dollar property. We never felt pressured, and always felt that Nancy kept our best interests a priority. I would not hesitate to recommend Nancy to a family member or friend."

"We have purchased four properties in the past seven years, three in the last five years. Nancy is the most patient and considerate person that we have had the pleasure to work with of all the agents we have dealt with thus far. We made countless trips from LA and spent days scouring Mammoth for a suitable vacation home. At no time was she pushy, but rather insistent that we find the right cabin. We must have combed through dozens of homes over the course of a year. Her breadth of knowledge of Mammoth and the surrounding areas had yielded a good result – we found a perfect cabin that fits the entire family’s specifications. Because of Nancy’s easy-going and courteous personality, she has become a family friend whose company we enjoy.Nancy, thanks for helping us making our vacation home dream comes true! "

National pending home sales leap 5.5 percent in February
|

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
Pending home sales rebounded sharply in February to their highest level in nearly a year and second-highest level in over a decade, according to the National Association of Realtors®. All major regions saw a notable hike in contract activity last month.
The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, jumped 5.5 percent to 112.3 in February from 106.4 in January. Last month's index reading is 2.6 percent above a year ago, is the highest since last April (113.6) and the second highest since May 2006 (112.5).
Making sense of the story
- Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says February's convincing bump in pending sales is proof that demand is rising with spring on the doorstep. "Buyers came back in force last month as a modest, seasonal uptick in listings were enough to fuel an increase in contract signings throughout the country," he said. "The stock market's continued rise and steady hiring in most markets is spurring significant interest in buying, as well as the expectation from some households that delaying their home search may mean paying higher interest rates later this year."
- Added Yun, "Last month being the warmest February in decades also played a role in kick-starting prospective buyers' house hunt." Looking ahead to the busy spring months, Yun expects to see continued ebbs and flows in activity as new supply struggles to replace listings that are going under contract at a very quick pace. This is especially the case at the lower- and mid-market price ranges, where choices are minimal and prices are being bid higher by multiple offers.
- "The homes most buyers are in the market for are unfortunately the most difficult to find and ultimately buy," said Yun. "The country's healthy labor market is translating to greater job security, but affordability is not improving because home prices in some areas are still outpacing incomes by three times or more because of tight supply. How much new and existing inventory there is on the market this spring will determine if sales can reach their full potential and finally start reversing the nation's low homeownership rate."
- Nationally, existing-home sales are forecast to be around 5.57 million this year, an increase of 2.3 percent from 2016 (5.45 million). The national median existing-home price this year is expected to increase around 4 percent. In 2016, existing sales increased 3.8 percent and prices rose 5.1 percent.

"We have known Nancy for more than 15 years and have successfully completed 4 transactions with her. She is thorough, keeping in constant contact with us during the transactions. Nancy is very knowledgeable of the Mammoth market and new developments in town. She keeps in touch and knows what types of investments we are looking for and updates us. Easy to work with and a delight."

Door Lock
KwikSet, the king of home door locks, has developed an electronic lock that actually uses your keys to unlock a house door. You just have to put in a two digit code to prevent access by burglars. An alarm will sound if someone tries to get in without a key or passcode.
