You may be asking if now is a good time to be looking to buy a home before 2015. Experts predict home prices will continue to rise in 2015.

Transferees are trying to sell their homes during the holidays because they feel they have to. Less competition among buyers is common because many are concentrating on holiday activities. If they don’t have to move for some reason they tend to wait until after the ye... 11/24/2014

  Link : Video of Floor Transformation   A week ago I posted a sneek peak at my personal project  of having carpeting replaced with locally milled walnut hardwood floors.

Typically those that go this route have extenuating circumstances, such as already having a relationship with the buyer (which happened in 40 percent of recent FSBO sales, according to National Association of Realtors® data). However, NAR’s 2013 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers shows that most sellers benefit from the outside help of a knowledgeable advocate when selling their home. Aside from being experts in the field, Realtors® have the time, know the market and needs of the potential buyers, bring an objective and fresh perspective to the seller, understand the complexity of all of the processes involved, and have t... 09/19/2014
