real estate: Have You Put Aside Enough for Closing Costs?
- 10/05/16 12:54 AM
There are many potential homebuyers, and even sellers, who believe that you need at least a 20% down payment in order to buy a home, or move on to their next home. Time after time, we have dispelled this myth by showing that there are many loan programs that allow you to put down as little as 3% (or 0% with a VA loan). If you have saved up your down payment and are ready to start your home search, one other piece of the puzzle is to make sure that you have saved enough for your closing costs. Freddie … (2 comments)

- 10/02/16 11:58 PM
In today’s market, with home prices rising and a lack of inventory, some homeowners may consider trying to sell their home on their own, known in the industry as a For Sale by Owner (FSBO).

Exposure to Prospective Buyers Recent studies have shown that 88% of buyers search online for a home. That is in comparison to only 21% looking at print newspaper ads.

real estate: 5 Stats That Prove the Real Estate Market Is Getting Stronger
- 09/22/16 02:46 AM
Posted on September 22nd, 2016 Whenever there is talk about an improving housing market, some begin to show concern that we may be headed toward another housing bubble that will be followed by a crash similar to the one we saw last decade. Here are five data points that show the housing market will continue to recover, and that a new housing crisis is not about to take shape. 1) Mortgage availability is increasing, but is nowhere near the levels we saw in 2004-2006. A buyer’s chances of being approved for a mortgage have increased over the last three years; That’s good news for … (4 comments)
real estate: Real Estate Predictions for 2016 All Fall into Line
- 12/28/15 06:42 AM
Given that the experts have often been as wrong as they were right about predicting at least one real estate trend for 2015 (mortgage interest rates), it’s fair to ask why it’s worthwhile to consult them regarding the coming year. Fair enough. The answer is twofold. First off, for anyone who will be buying or selling a Paulding County home in the coming year, much could ride on the wider market factors that influence buyer and seller attitudes. The other part of the answer is because it’s fun. Trying to take a peek into the future gathers a crowd every time: just tune … (1 comments)
real estate: In Kennesaw Real Estate, “Property Values” Needs More Detail
- 12/22/15 07:30 AM
Every West Cobb homeowner knows that the state of Kennesaw property values is important. But regardless of how important property values are, it’s also true that the term itself is hard to pin down. It’s more elusive than most of us assume—it literally means different things to different people. One of the odd things about the English language (or any language, I imagine) is how it can convey an impression of being more specific than is actually the case. For example, if you say, “This year there’s been more rain than usual” everyone thinks they know what you mean—which is probably not … (0 comments)
real estate: Universal and Customized Tips for Your Dallas Open House
- 12/18/15 05:35 AM
If you are planning for your own open house in Dallas, you won’t have much trouble finding good advice. Here’s a quick list of what you’ll find: Don’t leave your pet behind Don’t forget the yard If you’re not confident in your house cleaning ability, trust that instinct (hire a pro)! It’s the kitchen, stupid (really: don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink) Clear out the medicine cabinet Fresh bath towels These are all sound pieces of advice (although the medicine cabinet one should be more comprehensive: any valuable items should also be packed away). It’s why you’ll find some variation of those pointers on just about everyone’s … (0 comments)
real estate: Tax Break Possibilities Tempt Paulding County Real Estate Investors
- 12/15/15 02:18 AM
There are two specific times each year when Paulding County real estate investors find their thoughts wandering in the general direction of impending tax bills. As we approach year’s end, this is one of them. The other, of course, will be coming up in April—but this is the time of year when steps can be taken that affect the bottom line of what will come due later on. My expertise is in Paulding County real estate, so I don’t offer specific tax advice—as always, that’s best handled by your own financial advisor. But tax benefits (in the form of deductions) are always … (0 comments)

- 12/08/15 08:08 AM

real estate: Holiday Season can be a ‘Selling Your Home’ Season, Too
- 12/07/15 08:14 AM
Selling your Paulding County home during the holiday season may sound like a less than ideal game plan, but there are some advantages now present only at this time of year. It’s true that some extra effort may be called for, but it can be worth the endeavor: there are several factors that make showings at this time of year particularly promising. The first advantage is the flip side of the greatest disadvantage: the slowdown in real estate activity we usually expect over the holidays. That relative paucity of active prospects means fewer showings, so the number of times you’ll be called … (2 comments)
real estate: Of Lambs, Pilgrims, and Paulding County’s Thanksgiving Celebration
- 11/25/15 07:24 AM
It turns out that there is a connection between Paulding County’s Thanksgiving celebration and a notorious lamb—but it’s historical rather than culinary. The early history includes tale of one uncanny happening that befell the Pilgrims when they went ashore in in the spring of 1621. They had reached the New World the previous November because of a delayed departure, and the early onset of a harsher winter than expected had given them no chance to establish their settlement. They spent that long, miserable winter in the cramped confines of the tiny Mayflower. Illness and near-starvation followed… By the time spring arrived, nearly half … (0 comments)
real estate: Is Listing in Paulding County in Winter a Good Idea? The Definite Answer
- 11/24/15 08:18 AM
If you intend on listing your Paulding County home sometime soon, this is the time of year when you may well be uncertain about whether you should go ahead right now, or hold fire and wait. The question is whether winter is a reasonable time to enter the Paulding County listings when, after all, it’s common knowledge that spring and summer are the most active real estate seasons. Is that fact alone reason enough for not listing now? I happen to know the answer (it’s “maybe”). But since that’s only my opinion, in the interest of including a wider sampling of opinion, … (0 comments)
real estate: For Paulding County Homes for Sale, Some Feature Pluses Maybe Minuses
- 11/02/15 08:32 AM
There are many generalizations that can be truly instructive for homeowners with Paulding County homes for sale. The undeniable importance of “location, location, location!” is a good one; de-clutter! as a main order of business is another…as is the wisdom of researching neighborhood comparables. Anybody with homes for sale in Paulding Countycan usually visit the National Association of Realtors® website for useful nuggets of that kind of information. However, one article that appeared there last weekseemed to me to be less than real estate gospel—although it was thought-provoking. It dealt with features that might make some homes for sale harder to sell; features that most … (0 comments)
