Sprucing up Gettysburg Adams County PaIt doesn't take much to spruce a home scape. The spring time weather has arrived to Gettysburg Adams County Pa a bit earlier than normal.

As we all know if you can't get clients out of the car and in the front door, you have no chance of selling. Cub appeal is so important and so many home owners put absolutely no effort into making their homes stand out from the … (2 comments)

adams county pa: Truly a HyperLocalism Market in the Adams County Area - 04/05/10 07:39 AM
Truly a HyperLocalism MarketWith all attention on hyperlocalism these days has got me taken a closer look at how hyper this market really is. I know as Realtors we all complain about the mainstream media reporting things like Miami Florida's market is the same as Cleveland Ohio's. Having been a Realtor in California and keeping in touch with my Realtor friends there I know the market where I practiced real estate took a substantial hit, much more of a hit than the market that I currently work in. The market here never saw the gains that the California market did, therefore … (5 comments)

What are You Waiting for…Buy that Home and SOON
 
I am trying to understand the mindset of those that are seriously thinking about purchasing that first home who are still sitting on the fence. The market at this point is making a nice recovery in most areas of the country, the inventory is high and interest rates are at historic lows, not to mention the Home Buyer Tax Credit that also encompasses second time home buyers as well.
 
Most banks are again lending, however the requirements have been tightened to avoid a repeat of what happened in the … (4 comments)

Credit Card Companies - The new Big Brother
 
Recently I did a post about the changes that the Federal Reserve is making some rule changes as to how credit card companies may conduct business.

The home stats for January 2010, for the Adams County Pennsylvania area have just come out with some good news. 36 homes were sold in Adams County in January of 2010, that relects an icrease of 33%. However it also needs to be noted that the median home price of $173,000 reflects a 4% decrease from last year. January is typically a slow month for real estate in Adams County Pennsylvania, so the increase in sales could very well be due to the homebuyers tax credit currently in effect. In any event, any good news is welcomed.
Additional information may be … (2 comments)
