Valley residents, are you gearing up for the Spring selling and buying season in many of the valley cities and towns?
Interest rates are coming down and home sellers that have been riding out the market are ready to negotiate sales with qualified buyers. While demand remains high and inventory low, if you have been planning to enter the market, now might be your best opportunity of 2025 to so.

Over the last few months, people have emailed me, messaged me, talked to me at meetings, even knocked on my front door to ask — why isn’t The Valley Indy publishing new stories?
WEHAVEBEENPUBLISHINGNEWSSTORIESEVERYDAY.
But we’ve been having technical issues that tech folks have been working on endlessly. It’s been difficult, because the problem isn’t consistent, so at times we don’t know it’s happening — unless a reader tells us.
So, a favor — if you’re currently seeing weeks old content on the front page, obituaries or town pages, please let us know by emailing ValleyIndependentSentinel@gmail.com.
We will forward your message to the IT consultant, and you may then receive an email attempting to learn more about what’s going wrong.
We are sincerely sorry for frustrating people who have been unable to see new content.
