In North Carolina, sellers are required to discole if a house's exterior is actually artificial stucco-EIFS Stucco-instead of concrete stucco. EIFS is basically a form of styrofoam placed on the outside of the house with a "stucco" look-alike finish on the surface. While a house with EIFS can absorb the inevitable … (0 comments)

Ok, so I'm a pretty patient guy. That would explain why this is my first "rant" and not my billionth. I'm tired you guys. I'm tired of agents crying "oh the market is so bad" or "oh the market is damaged" or "down" or "damned", or some other "D" words that … (7 comments)
Even though it's not the winter season yet, recently the buzz I hear anytime I'm at Realtor events is always "what are we going to do this winter." I hear this every year but typically not until the October and November months. I know the housing market has not been the … (3 comments)
At an appearance on Good Morning America last Monday, big time real estate mogul, Donald Trump, declared that there has probably never been a better time to buy. He also says that sellers should hold off if possible and wait for a better market.
Market Comment - Week of August 18th, 2008Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. Stronger than expected consumer price index data did little to help alleviate inflation fears. CPI rose 0.8%, higher than the expected 0.4% increase. The core, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose … (3 comments)
While the pundits determine whether the real estate market is plunging or recovering, buyers are in the unique position of looking at a glass that is half full, not half empty. When sales are slow, that's actually a good thing for qualified buyers, and there has not been a better time … (0 comments)
What if I told you that the human mind is so powerful, that if you thought hard enough you could transport yourself. You would probably tell me to stay off the sauce... joke. In all seriousness, consider this: there isn't any technology, architecture or otherwise, that didn't begin with a single … (4 comments)
Growing up on this island one becomes very sensitive to change. Overnight the flood of beach loving tourists arrive on Paradise Island and then one day, you wake up, and they all seem to have vanished into the quiet waters of the Gulf of Mexico - it is almost like magic...or clockwork.

Santa Clara Valley homesellers know that in most parts of the region, it's a buyer's market. As they get ready to sell their homes, or perhaps have homes lingering on the market, a few questions arise:

By The Numbers:
By Ron Barnes
Welcome to my July 2008 report on the state of the real estate market for Geauga County. Please feel free to refer to last month's posting to watch for changes. 
In normal years past we've usually seen the highest monthly sales during the month of June or July. It appears that our market has settled down to a normal flow, even if the total sales figure is smaller than we'd like. Single Family home sales in Ada County for the month … (0 comments)
This may be just one of many opinions, but actually, buying now would not be a bad thing. How many of us remember when interest rates were as much as 17% in the 1980's.
Please, Please tell me there is someone else out there as strangely addicted to Bravo's "Flipping Out" as I am. While watching the reunion special a few nights ago I started to wonder how much of this is real. Is this guy really as psychotic as he is being portrayed? If … (0 comments)
There has been a lot of speculation and talk on the Canadian housing market lately, as a result of the constant stream of negative press flowing from of the US. Firstly let me say, do not believe everything the media tells you. The press thrives on negativity, so if they can … (0 comments)
It's a different market this year! Surprised? Well, the chart below shows what the market looked like last year and now what we are seeing today. While it may seem like a lot of inventory, we are really simply approaching normal levels of real estate for sale. Buyers now have more … (0 comments)
In the last few years, you may have noticed a trend toward using aerial shots to market real estate. It wasn't too long ago that you'd have to rent a helicopter or a plane in order to get photography of large ranches or luxury homes with acreage. Today, thanks to technological … (0 comments)
Selling property in today's market is a challenging prospect. Not only are you competing against a large surplus inventory of homes, but you are doing so at a time when there are relatively few qualified and motivated buyers. It is more critical than ever to carefully plan and manage every aspect … (0 comments)
Okay, we all know that the economy isn't doing so well right now. The bad blairs from our televisions every minute--great ratings for them! But is all the news accurate and is it keeping buyers from buying and sellers from selling? I say yes. The media has created a fear--I think … (1 comments)
It seems like every time I turn on the news there is something said about local real estate. Its never good news (like that our average sales have gone up from last month) or anything good in general either. Its always about how "bad" the market is, and how everyone is … (1 comments)
I was watching the news this morning and Donald Trump was being interviewed on Good Morning America regarding the real estate market and what he advises for all of us that either want to buy or sell a home, facing foreclosure and how long he estimated the downturn in the market … (0 comments)
Over the past month, many new listings have appeared for great lake properties on Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair. Don't forget about the great homes in the Eatonton and other locations surrounding the lakes. Add these properties to those that have been on the market since late 2007 or the early spring, … (0 comments)
Okay-I really can't take it anymore...last week I was collecting articles from the Globe and Mail, the Vancouver Sun, etc and listening to all of the commentaries on CBC radio (and pulling over on the side of the road to take notes). I had planned to go through them all to … (0 comments)

There is always the good and the bad. The bad thing about this market is just the way we have to work harder for each deal to get it to go through. The good thing is this causes more creative thinking on all of our parts in the real estate industry … (1 comments)
Monday is upon us and one can only imagine what kind of news will hit the street this week in regards to the Las Vegas real estate market, gaming, tourism, etc.
Q: What exactly will the legislation do?
The St. Louis Real Estate Market this week is showing a bit of an increase in active listings. We are also seeing fewer homes accepting contracts in the last 30-40 days (pending) and our pending ratio has dropped below 14 percent. However, the number of homes sold (contracts closed) in the … (0 comments)

So do you want the good news first or the bad news first?
I listen to NPR when on the road. Today the report was that the NAR announced that house sales were UP a whopping 5% in June! I have to say I was truly excited to hear the news. Great job, everybody! Keep up the good work.

I generally believe that Real Estate has become one of the most highly sought after conversational topics within social settings. Everywhere I go different people seem to want to talk about the same things:
Market Recap - Week of August 4'th
Yesterday's housing bill is today's housing law. Among the highlights, first-time home buyers will receive a tax credit of 10% of the purchase price of their home, up to $7,500. If you are wondering how Congress defines a first-time home buyer, it's someone who … (0 comments)

With preliminary numbers of residential units sold for July 2008 in from the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS (CTAR), it appears we may have hit or are within months of the bottom of the current housing market slump.

There has been some discussion on a forum that I frequest about house prices needing to come down on the Crystal Coast.
Unavoidably these past few days I have been subjected to the media's announcement that it is cheaper to rent than to buy in many areas of the country. 
There is no debate that the Real Estate market took off after 9/11. We were at a very rough cross roads in our history and I guess anything could have happened. One way or the other we, as a country got motivated and there are too many factors to get into … (4 comments)
I have only been in real estate to know what a down market is. The broker I started with lost my real estate application to send to the DRE for three months, so I ended up missing the end of the Great Central Valley Seller's Market. I can't wait for the market … (11 comments)
