diana dahlberg realtor: Is Residential Real Estate Still Going Strong?
- 08/09/23 12:29 PM
New reports about the housing market show that residential real estate is still going strong despite the ongoing affordability challenges. Last week, the National Association of Realtors released their Pending Home Sales data for June 2023. The report below shows the number of pending home sales – which equates to the actual signed contracts on existing single-family homes and condos – rose 0.3% from May to June. Since February, this is the first time that pending home sales have increased. This is very significant because it shows that even though mortgage rates have elevated, home buyers are starting to accept the higher borrowing … (4 comments)

diana dahlberg realtor: Reminder to Spring Forward - Ahead - Sunday - 3/12/2023 - 2:00 am
- 03/10/23 10:06 AM
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME Although, it doesn’t feel like Spring in the Kenosha and Racine areas this morning with 5+ inches of snow overnight, don’t forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour on Sunday March 12, 2023 at 2:00 am! What was the original reason for Daylight Savings Time? DST (daylight savings time) started in the United States with the Standard Time Act of 1918, a wartime measure for seven (7) months during World War I in the interest of adding more daylight hours to conserve energy resources. The idea of aligning waking hours in daylight hours to conserve candles was first proposed in 1784 by … (8 comments)

diana dahlberg realtor: I Don't Need a Real Estate Agent to Sell My Home
- 01/23/23 11:22 AM
I Don’t Need a Real Estate Agent to Sell My Home So you are thinking about going it alone? You prefer to sell your home without the benefit of a real estate professional, because you know your home better than any REALTOR®/AGENT/BROKER ever could. Well, obviously, this is true. But knowing what it is like to live in your home and knowing how to sell it—or any property—are entirely different things. So, before you commit to putting your home on the market as an FSBO, (aka For Sale by Owner) I would love to sit down and go over a few important details … (6 comments)
If you ask a renter why they are choosing not to buy a home right now, an answer you will probably hear is “rates are too high.” If you asked a renter in the summer or fall of 2020 why they decided to buy, you would probably hear “rates were low.” The highest national average a 30 year fixed rate mortgage has reached since January 2007 is 6.70% which was in July 2007. Believe it or not, Wisconsin home sales WERE NOT at an all-time low. The fewest monthly home sales Wisconsin had in this time … (12 comments)

diana dahlberg realtor: Has Wallpaper Lost its Popularity?
- 09/05/22 03:51 PM
Has Wallpaper Lost its Popularity? Wallpaper has been used as early as 200 B.C. by the ancient Chinese, who glued rice paper to their walls. It is usually sold in rolls and is applied onto a wall using wallpaper paste. Wallpapers can come plain as "lining paper", textured, with a regular repeating pattern design, or, much less common today, with a single non-repeating large design carried over a set of sheets. Removal of the existing wallpaper can be a simple procedure or a day or two of scraping and scraping and scraping. Depending upon how the wallpaper was originally put on the wall can … (12 comments)
