				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://empirera.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/fence-header.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1879" alt="fence header" src="http://empirera.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/fence-header.jpg?w=640&#038;h=149" width="640" height="149" /></a></p>
<p>You don’t have to be between a rock and a hard place to be On the Fence. If you are like most people we know, your curiosity about the real estate market is high.  And even if it’s not, you still can’t help but think about it – even if for only a moment because so many others are!</p>
<p>Our friends, family and past clients have been reaching out more than usual lately and many of them are on the fence in general about real estate! They are unsure what they think about the market, what it all means and how it impacts them.</p>
<p>Let us know if you are on the fence about real estate. We love sharing what we know and no question or curiosity is too small.</p>
<p>Here are questions we are asked every day:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>“What is my house worth if I were to sell it…I’m just curious.”</em></li>
<li><em>“With rates so low, we are thinking it’s a good time to move up.What do you think?”</em></li>
<li><em>&#8220;I’m thinking of doing some updating, what is best if I later decide to sell?”</em></li>
<li><em>“The kids are graduating in June and we are thinking of getting something smaller, what’s out there?”<br />
</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>“Nothing happens until something moves.” ~ Albert Einstein<br />
<em>Even if what moves is just your perspective!</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>Market Snapshot</strong></p>
