Cowlitz County Real Estate Market Report for 2011 - 03:35 AM
Cowlitz County Real Estate Market Report for 2011
The Cowlitz County real estate market had its ups and downs through out the year but overall home sales were up 7 percent form the year before, 737 single family homes were sold in 20011 compared to 684 in 2010. The Cowlitz County real estate market inventory keeps shrinking, there are currently only 472 homes on the market, the lowest in over five years and way lower from the 818 available homes in this market report from July 2008.
The low inventory, in my opinion, is a good sign that the real estate … (1 comments)

How to Embrace and Thrive in Today’s Buyer’s Market - 03:19 PM
Yes, you can thrive…if you know your scripts!
As fun as the last few years were, to be in a piping hot real estate market, it is now time to accept and embrace the new reality, the buyer’s market. You have two options:

77% of homebuyers used an agent … (3 comments)

Schaumburg Homes - What percentage of homes are foreclosures? - 02:05 PM
What percentage of Schaumburg Homes are foreclosures? When we look at foreclosure numbers that perhaps we have heard or seen on the news, often times they are for trends that are national in scope. We always have to sharpen our focus and whittle down those statistics to the state level, then by metro area, then finally by the town itself.  Don't pay attention to the media which is great for over dramatizing news especially when it comes to the housing market and foreclosures. Granted, there are some very hard hit areas of the country and we are fortunate here not to … (4 comments)

WHY AN INDEPENDENT HOME INSPECTION IS IMPORTANT FOR NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION! What about "soil settlement"?? - 07:52 AM
WHY AN INDEPENDENT HOME INSPECTION IS IMPORTANT FOR NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION!What about "soil settlement"??
We know why many new home buyers do not engage the services of a home inspector when purchasing new construction.  Some reasons we've heard include:
"The builder's sales person said I don't need a home inspector because the county inspects.""I shouldn't have to spend that money.""Everything is NEW and has the new home/appliance warranties.""I don't want to spend the money."New home buyers don't always understand that county inspections are primarily for safely and rarely identify poor construction techniques.
Inspired by an article by Jay Markanich  about a … (21 comments)

Wordless Wednesday: Victorian Home, Peekskill, NY - 05:33 PM
That is a classic. 
It's amazing how the true Victorian, 100 years old plus offers the perfect slate for a remodel that will just knock your socks off.
Those high ceilings (keep the tin seilings) came BACK in style in the 1990s except that they were called "volume ceilings".  However, the room sizes diminished to keep prices down.
Those huge kitchens are everyone's dream but hard to find in homes constructed after 1980.  Builders answered consumer demand for large kitchen with "bump-outs" and charged accordingly for the upgrade.
Those bay windows that come naturally in the true Victorian are an expensive upgrade … (8 comments)

Reverse Mortgage vs Home Equity Loans by www.allrmc.com - 02:40 PM
Borrowers are still asking, “Which is better, a Home Equity Line of Credit from our Bank or a Line of Credit on a Reverse Mortgage?”.  And there is not just one answer the works for everything when comparing the Home Equity Line of Credit or HELOC to the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM or “Heck-um”) when accessed as a line of credit. The two loans are different in many ways and which is “better” is often determined by which is better for you.

Tracking Your Home's History - 10:39 AM
Tracking Your Home's History Does your home have a diary?  And we're not talking literal entries by your home...."Dear Diary, if that dog has an accident on my floor one more time I'm going to slam the door on his tail!!" type entries, but a historical log of repairs and changes. A frequent struggle for homeowners when we meet to list their home is defining WHEN and WHAT work was actually done.  "Ethel, did we put on that new roof in 2008?  or 2009?".  Now some homeowners are very analytical....they'll have EVERY record of EVERY thing that was ever done to … (77 comments)
