wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: Are you at the right brokerage? - 10/18/16 01:28 AM
Some years ago the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) engaged Tom Morris, Ph.D., to be a speaker at NAR's national convention. His talks -- tucked in among sessions dealing with marketing, sales techniques, and listing presentations -- were out of the ordinary, to say the least. But they were relevant then and they are just as relevant today.
 
Morris is, of all things, a philosopher, and a respected one at that. He taught fifteen years at Notre Dame, where he was widely-acknowledged to be the most popular teacher on campus. Now, as head of the Morris Institute for Human Values, he is a much sought-after … (1 comments)

wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: What's in the water? - 07/13/16 01:50 AM

As I was paying my water bill, I decided to read over the York Water Companies water quality report.   It was reassuring that the reports that the water company provided were very detailed and gave accurate readings for various chemicals that are found in the water and how they treat the water to remove the contaminates.  It also gives us a look at the actual contamination levels for each of these chemicals.  The report is analyzed down to parts per million or PPM on the report.
 
I have added a link to the York Water Company's Annual Drinking Water Report for you to review.  I hope you find the … (1 comments)

wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: What is the 4th of July? - 07/01/16 01:33 PM
Independence Day or more commonly known as the 4th of July celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence back on July 4th, 1776.  This is when the Continental Congress declaring that the 13 colonies would no longer answer to British rule.  The colonies actually agreed to this on the 2nd of July but the Declaration was not finished and signed until the 4th, some early signers of the Declaration of Independence believe that we should have used the 2nd and not the 4th as the actual date of acknowledgment.
 
For me this holiday seems to get lost in the fireworks, barbecue and back yard parties.  We have some … (5 comments)

Hey there fellow Penn Waste customers, I just wanted to remind you that our trash is going to be picked up a day late next week.  I went on the Penn Waste site because I was looking for an update on when the new recycling bins will be delivered.  I did not see anything that gave an answer to my question but I did see that our trash pick up will be delayed by a full day.  Click here for a link to Penn Waste for additional details on trash removal in your township.

Buyers and sellers are still wondering how Brexit is going to hit the US and the housing market.  I have heard several consumers asking questions about the fallout.  If you have a questions like....
 
How has the stock market responded to Brexit?
What is the forecast for the rates due to the volatility of the stock market?
Housing prices, have they risen or fallen and why?
Do we have enough properties on the market to meet the demand for supply?
And how can I make my car more like a boat?

wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: York, PA Home Sales Review YTD May 2016 - 06/22/16 01:20 AM
The May 2016 Housing Snapshot was just released and here I am once again, reporting an increase over last years numbers!  That's right, another increase to the median housing prices and a huge increase in the number of units sold!  Maybe you know of a few houses that went on the market and sold in a few days, do you want to know why... THE MARKET IS GETTING HOT!
 
 
If you are in the market for a new home you should really be talking to a Realtor about what to expect when your making a purchase in a market like this.  If … (2 comments)

wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: A new deck in 5 steps! - 06/21/16 03:47 AM
Maybe you didn't notice that yesterday was the first day of Summer but with it comes outdoor living! So how do you maintain the deck in which you spend so much time, give it a longer life and keep it looking good all summer long?  Here are the 5 steps to keeping that deck in tip-top shape, and splinter free all summer long!
 
 
#1 You need to clean your deck
Regular cleaning prevents your deck from that gray worn down look that we are trying to prevent. You have a few options to get the surface cleaned.

wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: Reverse migration? - 06/11/16 11:46 PM
I just read this great article about reverse migration, and at first the term itself was a little confusing.  In short reverse migration is the study of seniors who are migrating back into city life instead of coastal living.
 
In many ways it makes sense! As a young person people are drawn to the city for the abundance of things to do. As a retired individual you also look for places that give you as many options as possible. The big difference is that stereotypically the older generation has more disposable income and can really enjoy the finer things that a metropolis … (5 comments)

wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: Educate your buyers - 06/09/16 12:41 PM
Many first time buyers are not aware of all the things that they are about to face when buying a home, so it's good to prepare them for the road ahead.  Most of the time they have no clue about the gauntlet they are going to run while seeking a mortgage or the fact that they need to plan for 2 days off so they can attend the home inspection and settlement. Maybe more importantly how to stay qualified by not going out to shop for new furniture once they ratify a contract.
 
So how can you get your buyers ready for the road ahead?  I prefer … (1 comments)

wwwhomesforsaleinyorkcom: HERE IT COMES! - 06/08/16 12:53 AM

Every year we get hit with a few major storms and it seems that at the last minute everyone is running to the store to pick up some basic essentials to ride out a few days without power.  I go to the store just to take pictures that I share with my friends, we laugh because the shelves where the bottled water was are all empty, the paper goods such as plates, napkins, and toilet paper have vanished.  It seems that nobody is planning for the inevitable hurricane, or tropical storms that we get EVERY YEAR.  The day before the storm people … (8 comments)
