We made it! As I mentioned last week, despite all the cold and snow, we’ve turned the corner on winter. It doesn’t feel like it but spring is on the way!

❄️Snow Day

I hired a new snow removal company for a couple of properties this year. Everyone is raving about the job they did. I’ve rented dumpsters from him on short notice and plan on using him for multiple projects this year. I highly recommend Chris Hagenow. Let me know if you want an introduction!
🧑🌾Farmers Market
Do you miss farmers markets in the winter? I just found out that both Coventry and Ellington keep it going year-round indoors.
While you’re out that way, you might as well head over to Willington Pizza. Which leads me to…

This! I love everything about this video. The pizza, the need for getting ahead of things and doing things the right way, the talk of passing things down to younger generations, and one of my favorite songs in the background.
📈Buying a House in 2025- The Search
Right now, the housing market in 2025 is tough—but it’s not impossible. With so few homes available and so many buyers competing for them, the traditional way of browsing listings online and waiting for the perfect house to pop up just isn’t cutting it anymore. If you’re serious about finding a home that checks all your boxes, you’ll need to think outside the box and take a more proactive approach—kind of like how things work in commercial real estate.
In commercial real estate, buyers don’t just wait for properties to hit the market. Instead, they work with experienced agents who dig deep, identify potential opportunities, and reach out to property owners directly—even if their property isn’t officially for sale. This same strategy is becoming more popular in residential real estate, and it’s proving to be a game-changer.
A great real estate agent today isn’t just showing you what’s available on the market—they’re going beyond that. They’re researching neighborhoods you’re interested in, pinpointing properties that meet your criteria, and reaching out to homeowners to see if they’d consider selling. It’s all about being proactive and finding hidden opportunities that most buyers never even know exist.
For buyers, this approach offers a huge advantage. Instead of competing in multiple-offer situations or feeling rushed into bidding wars, you get the chance to connect with homeowners who might be open to selling under the right circumstances—without all the market chaos. Plus, you’re not stuck waiting; you’re taking control of your home search.
If you’re serious about buying in 2025, it’s time to ditch the passive approach and start thinking like an investor. Work with an agent who’s willing to go the extra mile, explore off-market opportunities, and help you land the perfect home—before it ever hits the market.
