I notice daylight is shrinking and the night hours are stretching. I've also picked up some changes in the roaring bull housing market we've experienced during the past 12 months or so. The frenetic housing market seems to be entering a quieter phase. The number of offers received on a hot property is falling. The phone is a bit quieter. Gosh, I've even checked it once [...]
