The Spring Market is Heating Up in Riverside, RI 02915   Spring begins tomorrow and the Spring market is heating up in Riverside, RI. Even though there is still talk of more of that horribly dreaded "white stuff" coming next week. Just last week I noticed for sale signs popping up like daffodil's. This was a especially cold, snowy winter for Rhode Island. There was slim pickin's for buyers looking between November and February, but that's all changing. With the promise of warmer weather and greener grass comes the desire for sellers to finally put their homes on the market. It's apparently that those sellers have talked to their real estate agents and understand the importance of getting a "jump" on the Spring market. Just this week I received 3 phone calls and have scheduled 3 listing... 03/19/2014

“We have to keep them all,” my 8-year-old self demanded. My mother, slightly exasperated and attempting to get my bedroom packed up into boxes for moving day, sighed tiredly. “You have plenty of books. And you have already read these ones.” Adamant, I informed her: “When I grow up I am going to own a library with lots of books. So we have to keep them until then.”    My mother will tell anyone we know embarrassing stories of the youthful beginnings of my overconfident ambitions. We never could have guessed that I would get that particular proclamation right. (I can however concede that I am probably never going to be a Supreme Court Judge, a geneticist or an astronaut).    The Library plan was a long forgotten childhood memory until earlier this year. I was finally home after a particul... 10/22/2013

Last year at this time there were For Sale signs popping up like daffodils all over my neighborhood. Every time I drove around Riverside new signs were appearing weekly.  Now I know last years winter wasn't really a winter at all. We had balmy weather into January.
