If you are contemplating putting your house on the market, you may want to see if you have some of the top features home buyers are looking for.
A large laundry room is on the list of must-haves for most home buyers these days.  The bigger the better when it comes to laundry rooms. Painting this room a fun color is also a great idea.  If you have not yet updated your washer and dryer it may be a good time to do that as well. 
Landscape lighting is a plus if you want your house to stand out above all the others on the market.  Taking … (0 comments)

midtown montgomery real estate: Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends For April 2015 - 05/26/15 11:43 PM
Decades ago, it was not uncommon for people to work at the same job for the entirety of their professional career. Similarly, many people kept the same home their whole lives. Those trends, however, have shifted. Today most homeowners buy and sell several homes throughout their lifetime. The reasons to sell one’s home vary—changes in family situations, neighborhood transformations, financial changes, and many others. However, the most popular reasons sellers decided to leave their home for another are quite simple—people moving to new areas and outgrowing their homes. According to the National Association of REALTORS® 2014 Profile of Home Buyers and … (0 comments)

midtown montgomery real estate: Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends For Jan 2015 - 02/23/15 03:21 AM
Even though most people start their New Year’s resolutions on January 1, some people add resolutions as the year progresses. For some, that goal is realizing the dream of homeownership. Beginning the process of buying a home can be daunting, but it is easy enough to begin working on the first step – saving for a down payment. According to the National Association of REALTORS®' 2014 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 65 percent of home buyers utilize their savings account for a down payment; however, buyers find many other ways to finance a down payment, including selling stocks or bonds, relying … (0 comments)

midtown montgomery real estate: Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Report for June 2014 - 07/28/14 03:49 AM
If you sold your primary residence and made a profit, you may be able to exclude that profit from your taxable income. Here's how it works.
Individuals can exclude up to $250,000 in profit from the sale of a main home (or $500,000 for a married couple) as long as you have owned the home and lived in the home for a minimum of two years. Those two years do not need to be consecutive. In the 5 years prior to the sale of the house, you need to have lived in the house for at least 24 months in … (0 comments)

midtown montgomery real estate: Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends - October 2013 - 10/22/13 01:29 AM
The Fed recently announced they would continue their current pace of purchasing bonds until the economy was stronger. This bond purchasing program is the reason that mortgage interest rates are at historic lows. Rates began to increase over the last several months just on the anticipation that the Fed would announce that they would be reducing the level of bond purchases last month. When that didn’t happen, rates actually decreased.
That was great news for any buyer in the process of purchasing a home. However, this window of opportunity is expected to close in the very near future as most … (0 comments)

Ever since the housing bubble burst, the American public has been bombarded by predictions of all sorts.  Some have included assertions that the real estate market has bottomed out, while others issue dire warnings that it will sink still lower.  Accompanying these negative reports, however, there have usually been optimistic voices insisting that the market is actually improving.  And perhaps it finally is.  Dubious?  Read on…

midtown montgomery real estate: Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Trends - Dec 2010 - 01/25/11 11:25 AM
The 2011 real estate market forecast depends on who you talk to. There are conflicting signs but most experts predict a slow growth in sales nationwide. Real estate guru Barbara Corcoran has this to say about buying a home in 2011:
"Of course people are nervous about buying with so many mixed signals, but my advice would be: Do not wait. If there's one thing I learned about this real estate is that it's very slow to unwind and usually takes years to do it. But once it decides to turn around, those prices move up very quickly, and you'll just … (0 comments)
