As we wrap up June and move into the holiday weekend, you'll notice new listings have slowed somewhat. This is typical of this time of year. Homeowners often take the summer months to enjoy their summer and ready their homes for the fall market. With fewer homes available for sale, and a constant demand, if you see a home you like, let us know and let's get in to see it. We'd hate for you to miss out on the home of your dreams. Let's take a quick look at what's come on the market this past week.

We lost an American icon this week. He literally & figuratively "fought the good fight". Mohammed Ali had a presence and leaves a legacy with his children and grandchildren, and in the American lexicon. We all know the "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" came from him, but did you know these other inspirational phrases can be attributed to him as well? "He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." "The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life." As I surfed the 'net in search of … (0 comments)

As May comes to a close, we also see schools wrapping up for the summer. As you look for a home, you may be considering how you enjoy your summers... do you enjoy mowing the lawn having backyard barbecues, playing in the pool, does your neighborhood need to have a playground or pool available? Perhaps you'd rather be as far away from those things as you can be. :) Whichever way you're leaning, many families love to move during the summer, and if their home has been on the market more than a month, you may have some room to negotiate. This is the time for us to get together, … (0 comments)
He is suggesting that if you can, you should buy a home.
He broke down the math of home-ownership as an investment:
1. "Today financing costs are extraordinarily low." The latest numbers from Freddie Mac show us that you can still get a 30-year mortgage at historically low rates of under 4%.
2. "And if you put down, let's say, 10 percent and the house is up 5 percent," as many experts predict, "then you would be up 50 percent on your investment." How … (1 comments)

Sir Winston Churchill once said, “... we shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.” Our homes are a respite from the rest of the harried world. They are a sanctuary. So whether your sanctuary is a colonial on a cul-de-sac, a minimalist condo or a 30,000 square foot estate, it needs to be able to comfort you as an individual. Think about the space you want to live in. Dream into it. What have you loved and hated about the home you grew up in? What have you loved about any home you've made for yourself? If you invest the time to contemplate these things, and … (1 comments)

Happy Spring! It seems like you never know what April will bring! Texas is having floods, Seattle & Toronto a heat wave, California rains, and snow in the Rockies. Just wait five minutes... I'm sure it'll change. :) And in spite of the weather properties listing and selling within days... If you're truly in the market to purchase a home within the next 60 days, now's the time to act. Have your plan in place, let someone (me!) know that you're serious about the hunt, have your mortgage "approval" in place, and get out an look at homes! ALSO, if you're looking for something specific, … (1 comments)
Our market is just FUN! It seems each week brings a new and intriguing situation... last week people were asking about investment opportunities and this week, it seems that Luxury is the topic of the day. How do you define luxury? Is it the price, the space, or the feel of a place?
This is a really good time to assess if it's time for you to "move up". Are you considering this? This kind of transaction takes a bit of coordination... to find a new place to live, then have you home sell, and be able to do … (0 comments)

Sales Contracts Hit Highest Level in Months So last week, I gave you the doom and gloom about buying in a HOT market. Now here's a slightly different perspective that shows that buyers are still buying! The National Association of Realtors (NAR) just announced that the February Pending Home Sales Index reached it’s highest reading since July 2015. This index means that more contracts have been signed by buyers that will soon translate to sales. February’s Index rose 3.5% month-over-month to 109.1. What does this mean for the market? Lawrence Yun, NAR’s Chief Economist explained: "After some volatility this winter, the latest data is encouraging in that a decent number of buyers signed contracts last … (0 comments)

Were you one of the many to see Batman v Superman this weekend? Can you believe it's showing at over 19,700 screens across 39 territories across the globe? Do you know that it has had the largest opening in $ of any superhero movie to date?? Talk about the power of hype! I bring this up, because it's kind of like this Spring market -- a LOT of hype, the feeling of scarcity and high demand... which is forcing prices to hold, and many buyers to compete for homes, some of which end up selling WAY above list price (which seems great for sellers), until the appraisal doesn't support the amount … (0 comments)

Time marches on! Here we are, already three months into the new year and the market has been busier than ever. I know of several homes being prepped to sell, so we anticipate the weekly list to grow over the next month. This is really exciting as a buyers agent, so our buyers can see the great variety of homes available in our market. Another great way to get a feel for the market is with our tour of homes -- we can run you around the neighborhoods giving our personal insights into the features, amenities, and feel of the various areas of … (0 comments)
