Firstly, I wanted to take this opportunity to say keep safe and well during this time. United we stand against this pandemic and together we will prevail against the COVID-19 virus.

It's too early to comment on what impact this will have on the housing market. I know of many people who are motivated to sell and buy once Level 4 has been lifted. I also know of a few who have decided to hold off their plans to sell until there is more certainty and confidence in the economy. Either way, the market will pick up again (as it always does) but in this ever changing landscape it is just a question of when.

It's nice, though, to be able to share some positive news during these times. I am delighted to share with you that I am soon expecting my first child!

Obviously, I am very excited about this, however, you may be wondering:
What does that now mean if you're looking to have your home appraised or listed with me in 2020?

Due date is late April 2020 so I will be on maternity leave until September 2020
I have a network of excellent agents I am happy to recommend who operate at the same level of integrity, skill and care as I do should you decide to sell during this time
I'll still be accessible via email and phone during this time for any property advice

Until then, take care of yourself and stay safe and well.

Warmest regards,

Shannon
