- 10/25/22 02:38 PM
Does the latest news about the housing market have you questioning your plans to sell your house? If so, perspective is key. Here are some of the ways a trusted real estate professional can explain the shift that’s happening today and why it’s still a sellers’ market even during the cooldown.
Fewer Homes for Sale than Pre-PandemicWhile the supply of homes available for sale has increased this year compared to last, we’re still nowhere near what’s considered a balanced market. A recent article from Calculated Risk helps put this year’s increased inventory into context (see graph below):

live in sunny az: Happy Halloween
- 10/25/22 01:26 PM
Halloween had its origins in the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland. On the day corresponding to November 1 on contemporary calendars, the new year was believed to begin. That date was considered the beginning of the winter period, the date on which the herds were returned from pasture and land tenures were renewed. During the Samhain festival the souls of those who had died were believed to return to visit their homes, and those who had died during the year were believed to journey to the otherworld. People set bonfires on hilltops for relighting their hearth fires for the winter and to frighten away evil spirits, … (10 comments)

live in sunny az: Should I Make Updates and Repairs Before Selling My Home
- 10/24/22 06:44 AM
Charles has some very good points here. Bill
Worth our Daily RE-Blog.
Getting your home ready to sell is no small feat. And you’ll have a lot of decisions to make. You’ll of course need to put together a home advertisement and post your home listing online, but there’s a lot that comes before that. Once you decide to sell your home, the next thought should be, how do I make my home more marketable? Or, more specifically, should I make repairs or sell as is?
The answer is dependent on the market. If you’re in a buyers’ market, you’ll … (2 comments)

live in sunny az: Good Scents: Using Smell to Entice Homebuyers
- 10/23/22 06:13 AM
Shayne has some great tips. For me freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Bill
Good Scents: Using Smell to Entice Homebuyers There are a number of unpleasant smells that can occur in your home. Sometimes they’re temporary bouts of unpleasantness, and other times they stick around. A lot of smells and odors can seem manageable, since even lingering mustiness or other odors can kind of fade over time as you get used to them. Unfortunately, just because you’ve gone somewhat “nose blind” to those smells doesn’t mean that other people have, and that can be a major problem if you’re listing your … (8 comments)

So, we always celebrated my wife's birthday today for many years (won't say how many). Then my daughter married Thomas, who also had a 10-20 birthdate. So, we all agreed to share the day. THEN in 2004 our first Grandchild was born on 10-20 as well. So, we share, oh no we don't. Pam and Thomas have taken a backseat to Lizzie's birthday today. So Happy 18th birthday Lizzie,
also, happy 46th Thomas, and a BIG Happy Birthday to my fantastic wife Pam, also today.
