Wishing Holiday Cheer: Caspersen Group December 2020 Newsletter

Happy Holidays

Hi Friends,

With the holidays just around the corner, and plenty of cheer in the air,

we’re staying as busy as Santa’s elves!

With the market still playing catch-up after an unseasonably slow spring, this may be the hottest December real estate market in years.

Yes, yes, we’ll still be eating, drinking and being merry while we safely share the joy with our loved ones. But we’re also excited to help our clients find a Christmas miracle or two as they list or buy a home!

From our hearts to yours, we wish you the happiest, healthiest holidays and a very joyful new year. ❤️

Talk soon,

Mark & Pete Caspersen
