real estate: IS THE RIGHT TIME TO SELL YOUR HOME - 11/08/10 08:36 PM
Most sellers think the dead of winter is the worst time to sell a home.  This isn't always the case.  I've been sitting in a seller's kitchen on Christmas Eve, signing a purchase contract as sheets of snow were falling off the roof top.  Most people hold off putting their homes on during the winter for fear of a reduced buyer pool or their home just doesn't look saleable.  Serious buyers are always around for one reason or another.  Lease terms are up.  Relocation.  Since inventory is low, buyers will take a second look at what is actually on the market … (0 comments)

We tend to forget the human touch that these homes once had and that they are like abandoned children no longer well cared for or loved. Yet, if you look carefully, there are all the little signs that show a home was once loved by people when their home was their castle.
