If you want to gamble, book a trip to Vegas, leave Real Estate to the professionals - 05/25/10 01:15 PM
 
 
 A family on my street sold their home privately last month and followed up with an offer on a resale home in another area of town. Both transactions set to take place on the same day as is typical in this scenario. The husband, a nice enough guy, asked me to list their current home in March and at the last minute he decided to list privately and coincidentally at the very price I suggested their home should list at during my spring meeting with them.
The husband approached me while I was washing the car on Sunday morning. He … (57 comments)

Why do we move?, and why so often? - 05/17/10 12:23 PM

People move about every five to seven years on average. A phenomena that is increasing and foreign to our parents generation but their day to sell and move will come as well.
Here are the top reasons why people sell.:
1) Home is too small. First-time home buyers often outgrow their "starter" homes. Increased family size is the main reason home owners say they need a larger home. 2) Upgrade. The grass is greener on the other side. People often want what they don't have and long for a bigger, more expensive and grander, upscale home. It's the American way. 3) Fix purchase error. Owners might believe they made … (2 comments)

A guide to buying your first home - 05/09/10 10:53 AM

Great expectations   A guide to buying your first home   BY DAWN KLINGENSMITH, CTW FEATURESAPRIL 28, 2010    If you do not own a home, you might as well buy one because you're already contributing to a mortgage -- your landlord's. That's one case for homeownership broker Carolyn Warren makes on her website, mortgage-helper.com. Although it's easy to understand the benefits of owning a home the buying process can be daunting.
"I think everyone should have to take a little class so they know what they're getting themselves into," says mortgage banker Mary Ann McGarry, adding that such classes … (2 comments)

Our global priorities need to be assessed - 05/08/10 10:28 AM
Give me the hum of a windmill in my back yard any day over 200 plus barrels of oil per hour spewing into our  oceans. Convenience on this orb needs an across the board reevaluation. I see public outcry when ever someone wants to put a wind generator up. I have lived near such technology and yes late on a windy night there was a low level hum much the same as the one I hear under the same conditions now living within a mile of a 1500 foot broadcast tower.  If there is a car passing by or the tv … (7 comments)

If and how much mortgage do I qualify for? - 05/04/10 10:34 PM

Do you know if you qualify? Do you know how much? Do you have a buffer zone to work within? Have a look at some valuable information for home buyers from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation on how lenders use your credit rating to determine your rate and amount of financing you qualify for.   http://bit.ly/c8De9Z
