FROM THE CEO
Welcome to the summer issue of IN Mars magazine .
Back by popular demand is our Summer Fun Guide with dozens of fun events for the entire family to enjoy .
While we are all trying to stay cool , there is no doubt the housing market remains red hot . The past two years have been a whirlwind of buyers hoping to lock in low mortgage rates and sellers hoping to take advantage of the seller ’ s market . To date , the U . S . National Home Price Index is the highest it ’ s been , even pre-pandemic , with interested buyers outnumbering the homes on the market , creating bidding wars and driving up sale prices .
Don ' t miss our Special Real Estate Section for timely advice on buying or selling your home .
Wishing you a safe and happy summer !
