It's still a strong buyer's market these fine spring days here in Prescott, Az. Lots of inventory, sales are sluggish, and people are waiting for the absolute minimum prices before they risk buying. If you are trying to sell your home you already know this as it's probably sitting still on the market.

The old saying is "When life is dishing out lemons, make lemonade". So the real estate market is favoring buyers in a big way. If you have money for a house, buy one. There are some fabulous deals out there, call me and I'll prove it.

If you don't have a mattress full of cash, consider another approach. Does your home need any help to have better curb appeal? Have you been watching those TV programs like "Flip this House"? Tell the truth now, they are wildly popular. The most profitable things are kitchens, bathrooms, painting, and decks. Decide what your home needs and take on a new project, it will be fun and make you feel alive. Do some of the work yourself if you can, add your artistic touch. Plan it out carefully, make drawings, ask the pros if you need help, get your hands dirty!

My own house is modest but the view and location are fabulous so we decided to rebuild our ugly deck looking over the world. What a drastic difference from a 1970 something project to a stunning new Trex deck. Email me and I'll send the before and after photos.

So, dress up your investment and enjoy the view. By all means LIVE IT RIGHT UP!
