The housing market has been a rollercoaster. With the Interest Rate recovery we had this past month buyers started coming out again, creating an incredible competitive market since inventory could not catch up to the demand. In different markets we started seeing Multiple Offers again, Open Houses were packed with buyers, and properties went under contract in record time. We are still facing inventory issues, but we expect a strong 2023 Spring Market!

Homeowners beware!!
Have you received a letter like this?
The letter, which comes through the mail, appears official and fraudulently states a copy of a "Property Assessment Profile," including a copy of a grant deed or other record of title, can be purchased. Please DO NOT send them any money or personal information to obtain anything, as official as these look they are FRAUD!
 
Homeowners should receive (by mail) an original copy of their property deed from their Attorney after they close on the property. If you ever do need a copy of the Deed of a property you own, this can be requested with the County Recorder's Office or call your attorney and they can get a copy for you.
