First Time Buyers Demand Move-In Ready Starter Homes - 02/18/11 12:17 PM
In the day, when you used the phrase "starter home", you would think of a little home or an entry level home, that might need a little TLC, and was affordable for a first-time home buyer. Then, once they get their foot in the door of purchasing a home, they could, through the years upgrade to larger, move-in ready homes. 
In today's market however, with the abundance of home choices, current first-time home buyers want places that are move in ready. According to the National Association Of Realtor (NAR), first-time home buyers accounted for half of the market in 2010.

Stevensville, MD: Carpet or Hardwood Best for Condo Resale? - 02/07/11 04:03 PM
Okay, everyone knows we have quite a few condo's and townhouses in Stevensville and surrounding areas. So, I'm getting this question asked often: I am looking to remodel my condo for resale. What is the best for resale value? Hardwood/Laminate, carpet, a little of both?
In my personal and professional opinion, I would chose hardwood flooring. This is why. Most people will replace carpet when they purchase. Plus, carpet seems to wear so poorly, so I'm actually seeing less and less.
