I know that my title is a tongue twister, but that alliteration is true for first time buyer houses in and around Medford, MA. Although the #1 saying in real estate is still “Location, Location, Location” it has met its match with the new saying “Price, Price, Price”.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing network of true real estate professionals! The Sotheby's International Realty brand has a power that is not found in the real estate industry. Since I launched Hallmark Sotheby's International Realty less than two and a half months … (4 comments)

Myth: Once a potential buyer sees the inside of your home, curb appeal won't matter.
I am wondering if there is anyone out there that feels the same way about the National/Local Association of Realtors as I do. I feel that the dues are far too much and in return we receive nothing worthwhile aside from the MLS. Joining the MLS without the association seems like … (7 comments)
Well with the bailout passing this Friday. I am getting a lot of clients asking me what does this mean for me. Well this is what I tell them. With the government bailout of the banks or saving main street which ever one you want to call it should help lenders loosing up … (0 comments)
Heads or Tails?
They say that no coin is so thin that it doesn't have two sides, and home prices are not so different. Many who invested like mad in real estate the last few years felt the giddiness of buying low and selling high. Investors are feeling the pinch now, … (0 comments)
Friday, we all heard the news as it hit the TV, radio, internet, and newspapers that the house had passed the 700 billion dollar bailout. We all sat and wondered if and how it was going to affect the buyers and our house sales.

The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
Many first time home buyers that cross my desk are completely under educated on the benefits of buying a home. Even when one finally comes through they always have a problem with cash down. Well … (0 comments)
Every day lately it seems I have a new client who calls and is asking me what I think of the current market. I also get many inquiries as to if banks are still lending and if it is truly a good time to buy. While there are a million opinions … (0 comments)

It seems like all you hear about from local TV stations is the crashing housing markets here in Central Florida. If all you hear from are news sources - you would likely think that the whole region is still in the dumps!
It seems as though all of my closings lately, have last minute stuff. Are you all finding the same thing. Whether it is with the lender, the appraisal or title. On the days that I have closings, I wake up with this uneasy feeling. I know I have done all of … (10 comments)
Perhaps the question I hear most often from buyers right now is - should I buy a home right now or wait for the prices to fall further? The answer to this question is never simple and I believe that most buyers do not fully take everything into account when deciding … (0 comments)
Whether you're in the market to buy a home, sell your home while leveraging the benefits of ownership, or invest your hard earned money in that cash cow we call the real estate market, Bryon Howard can help you.
Lists are not the most glamorous thing to write about, but in this day in time I know that most people want to be prepared when they walk into their lender's office to get approved. If you read my blog you will no doubt understand that I don't believe in the … (0 comments)

I will give you a one word answer...BUYERS. Homes are still selling well in this part of Northeast Pennsylvania. Rates are still extremely low. Buyers are in the driver's seat because their options are endless. If sellers do not put their best foot forward they are in trouble. Sellers need to … (6 comments)

With the increased number of foreclosures around the country, more and more buyers and investors are seeking out foreclosed properties or properties that are advertised as Short Sales - meaning that the bank may accept less than what the sellers owe on the property.

Can you shop for a Mortgage the same way you shop for a Car or a TV or a Dress or anything else?
