As a Broker at RE/MAX of Boulder, it is encouraging and interesting that recent search terms may reflect people’s renewed interest in their homes. As people maintain and fix up their homes, whether its painting or gardening, neighborhoods improve, cities improve, and real estate markets improve. Thanks for the info.

Thats interesting. But search terms differ among people often based on seasons, interests, etc. Nice sharing of a good content.
What I will do in this spring? Waiting for the summer ;-)
But search terms not only differ on seasons or interests. It´s also depends on location. People in my area will not ask for camping or swimming because both available here :-)
