homes for sale: Spruce Up Your Front Yard without Spending a Fortune.
- 02/27/17 07:40 AM

#1 Take a symmetrical approach.
"Balancing the elements of your yard on either side of your sidewalk -- grass, fencing, flowers, shrubs -- will make it look grand and inviting".
#2 Make a seamless transition from yard to house.
“Use materials like box planters, stone steps or retaining walls to blend your home and yard together”.
#3 Use a hint of color.

homes for sale: ZESTIMATE; Fact or Fiction?
- 02/16/17 12:09 PM
Why you should never trust Zillow's price.
How many times do you hear "I looked at that Zillow site and it says my house is worth (insert extremely, unlikely, high, number here)?" Almost daily maybe? People don't take into consideration all the variables that each house carries. Some, don't want to hear about them either. These zetimates can play an irritating role when discussing numbers with your client. " As mentioned by Jaymi Naciri, "A real estate investor, a seller in a high-end neighborhood, or an obsessive real estate watcher may be able to brush off a $15,000 error" but for most across the … (3 comments)

homes for sale: Fridays odd job #'s
- 05/09/16 05:57 PM
Friday's Employment data was a bit puzzling to say the least. While the economy created 160,000 jobs, it was the weakest growth since Sept of last year and the labor force participation rate fell from 63% to 62.8%.
But year over year wage growth increased from 2.3% to 2.5%, the 4th best reading since Oct 2009, the number of long-term unemployed fell to its 2nd best level since Sept of 2008, and the average workweek increased.
A June rate hike remains a faint possibility.

If you enjoyed reading the post please give it a LIKE, every little bit helps. Thank You.
Reports are showing that even after a prolonged period of staggeringly low inflation, led by a strengthening dollar and declining energy prices, inflation is back!
As measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditure index, the Fed's preferred inflation index, inflation is 1.3%, and core inflation (which ignores food and energy) is at 1.7%, its highest reading since Feb of 2013, and a level the Fed did not expect to see until late 2016.
Hello rate rise in June.

homes for sale: New Housing Construction is Down
- 03/18/15 02:07 AM
If you enjoyed reading the post please give it a LIKE, every little bit helps. Thank You.
While housing starts were positively rotten last month, weather was a key factor.
That said, permits are much less weather sensitive than starts with a very small margin of error.
While overall permits were up 4%, single-family permit activity was down 6.2% and is at its lowest level since May of 2014.
Multifamily activity was up 19.9%, its best performance since April of 2014.
Despite generally good tailwinds, the housing market holding pattern continues.
