Do Not Take Your House Off the Market for the Fall and Winter - 10/21/08 02:17 PM
Many sellers feel that they should take their house off the market during the holidays. But you should think twice before making that decision. 
 For most people their homes look the best in the fall and winter.  With beautiful fall decorations in October and November and then Christmas decorations in December, homes are more inviting, warm, and cozy.  People decorate their homes for family members to come and visit. This warm inviting atmosphere can also be appealing to a buyer.  They will be able to imagine themselves spending the holidays with their family in their new home.
 Fall often brings out … (0 comments)

A Buyers Market is a Trading Up Market - 10/08/08 06:49 PM
If home prices dropped by 5%, here is what it would look like if you decided to trade up: 
Home Price = $100,000
Sell at $95,000 = $5,000 Loss
 
Home Price = $200,000
Buy at $190,000 = $10,000 Savings

Do you need to have "fairly" good credit … (0 comments)

Guest Commentary
By Michael Kelly Jr.
Published: October 2, 2008
In a recent article in the Hickory Daily Record, a local agent and writer pointed out that all indications and statistics point to the fact that the Hickory area housing market is currently in a buyer's market.
While this may be true, it does not mean that it is necessarily a bad time to buy a home. I want to point out some benefits to the consumer of … (1 comments)
