MARCH 2021
Greetings!
 
Good tidings to you and your family this month. We are so glad that Covid-19 seems to be headed into the rear view mirror. Hoping we can all resume normal activities very soon. Right now is the perfect time to think about investing in the Treasure Coast, Florida area. Rent prices have increased for residential units--due to demand--and this seems to be boosting townhome and condominiums as solid investments.  On the commercial front, while professional and retail spaces are changing a bit, business seems to be very solid, and every indication is telling us people are feeling good about the economy and looking for business expansion. We hope to help you or someone you know for any residential or commercial need you have!

Let us help you or someone you know who is looking for a new property, or to list and sell their property. Our team is growing and we have many seasoned professionals to assist you. We are always, at your service! Call 844-MAC-EVOY (622-3869), ext. #1. Our office hours are 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday - Friday, and Saturday & Sunday by appointment.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Mac Evoy

METRO AREA HOUSING WEALTH GAINS
Homeownership is a major source of wealth accumulation. Housing wealth (or net worth or equity) is built up over time via the home price appreciation and the principal payments that the homeowner makes on the loan.

TOP 10 REAL ESTATE MARKETS
Top 10 Markets during and in Post- COVID-19 Environment
Check the list of the Top Ten Markets that have shown resilience during this pandemic period and that are expected to perform well in a post-COVID-19 environment, identified by the National Association of REALTORS®.

DON'T WAIT TO SELL!
High buyer demand and slim housing inventories mean homeowners ready to sell now have more negotiating power. But those who sell may also need to buy their next home. Homeowners find themselves with more negotiating power as buyer demand remains high and housing inventories slim. The supply of homes for sale is at a record low of 1.9 months. A six-month supply is considered a healthy balance between sellers and buyers.

Displaying Collections & Mementos
The whole point of collections and mementos is that they catch your eye so you can appreciate them. It is a great way of displaying meaningful objects in your home in a way that will stand out. Shown here is a living room of residents who worked in the Middle East and collected things over the years. Their new home was a chance to showcase their pieces so they can keep their memories alive and have conversations starters when guests visit. Note: the Emmy displayed on the display cabinet.

HOME ECONOMIC TIPS

Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
Make them fluffy and delectable! In a small bowl, crack three eggs, and add one tablespoon of mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup of milk (or half-n-half, or cream). Whisk together until there are no lumps; pour into a preheated buttered skillet on MED-LOW temperature, stirring when it appears to be "set" on top. When it appears to have the desired texture for you, put it on a plate (NOTE: the eggs will continue cooking from the pan heat even after transferred to the plate). For extra zest, add chives, bacon bits, and/or grated cheddar cheese on top.
