2 POA President s Letter We had an interesting Wednesday morning on March 27th with a hail storm going through. Knocked a lot of leaves and broken limbs down and blew the community center pool furniture over and some into the pools. Kind of a little reminder that we need to get our trees and property prepped for storm season. As you work on your spring cleaning (which is very evident that many of you are; most homes are looking great) don t forget about those trees, bushes and items that set out but are not hard planted down. Make sure you have a plan. Don t forget the Annual Membership meeting and election is scheduled for April 15th, It will take place at the community center at 7pm. Volunteers are needed to sign members in and tally ballots. If you are interested in helping, call the office at or at springsofsuntree@cfl.rr.com. If you did not receive your ballot and proxy in the mail, please let the office know. Members who do not plan to attend the meeting need to either come to the office and submit their ballot in person or send in with proxy designated to cast their ballot. Proxy must be submitted with signature, printed name, Springs of Suntree street address and date on the envelope (see instructions provided with meeting information packets). Contact the office with any questions. Pools were closed on March 25-28th for the seasonal cleaning. We do a hard chemical clean twice a year- once before peak season and once after. This was originally scheduled for April and would have been on the calendar for this month s issue however there was a cancelation with our service provider and a discount if we moved it up, so we did. The community center restroom sink counters will be replaced this month. They are both separating and falling apart, and cost was more efficient to have both replaced at the same time. Time down will be limited so closure should not be required. FYI Community Center Hall rental rates have been updated. Instead of three tier pricing based on number of guests ($50, $75 and $120) the board has set the rental rate to a flat $75/day with the security deposit remaining at $ Respectfully submitted, Peter Sacco President, Springs of Suntree POA

7 Hi Neighbors! Happy Spring! It s that time of year when the community seems to wake up and get ready for the sprint to summer. Many folks start thinking about making a move at the end of the school year. If you re one of those people here are some STRONG TRENDS to consider. Inventory The inventory of homes for sale has increased on a year-over-year basis for eight months in a row. Home price appreciation has continued to grow, although at a slower rate. Home Prices The median home price for homes sold in January was $247,500. This is up 2.8% from January 2018 and marks the 83rd consecutive month of year-over-year gains. The national Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI) rose 4.6% to in January from 98.7 in December. An index score of 100 is considered normal. All four major regions of the country experienced gains in January, with the largest increase coming in the South. Bottom Line The housing market in 2019 will require homeowners to list their house at the right price to attract buyers. If interest rates continue to stay low while wages increase, and more inventory comes to market, 2019 could be one of the best years for home sales in recent history. Your Homes Value Since it takes 3-6 months to sell a home in this market now is the time to gather the information you need to make an informed decision. Give us a call if you want more specific information about the SOS market or your home s value. Happy Spring! Lee & Patty, Your Neighborhood Realtors for Life!
