Local Tip from Karlee:
If you’re planning to house hunt this spring, Easter weekend can actually be a great time to scope out neighborhoods—less competition, and you’ll see how communities come together. I always say, “Buy where the egg hunts are good!” Ha!
Whether you’re staying local or hopping around from event to event, I hope this list helps you and your family have the most egg-citing Easter yet!
And hey—if you’re thinking about making a move in 2025, I’d love to help you find a home in a neighborhood that feels like your kind of community. Let’s connect anytime!
