sam miller team of remax stars realty: Is a duplex right for a 1st time buyer? - 12/13/22 06:38 PM

Most 1st time homebuyers don't pay much attention to duplex homes or any apartment-style houses in favor of buying a more traditional single-family home. Many real estate agents have never owned a duplex or multi-family home before and I am betting very few approach the idea of buying a multi-family home as a first real estate purchase. Just because buyers aren't asking about duplex listings doesn't mean a duplex or multi-family home wouldn't be a good fit for them. Over the years the buyer's parents loved the idea of a duplex being their childs starter home. The key is understanding the … (5 comments)

sam miller team of remax stars realty: Why A Mortgage Pre-Approval Trumps A Loan Pre-Qualification - 12/03/21 01:19 PM

The housing market is HOT!  Real estate listings are in short supply and the buyer demand for available homes continues to outpace the current listing inventory.  The reason I mention this is because there is a lot of buyer competition when it comes to buying a home because there are more buyers than there are sellers.  If you are serious about buying a home, here is a tip that will give you an advantage over other competing buyers.  
Don't mess around with a home loan pre-qualification... skip that step and get  a pre-approval.  Put yourself in the position of the seller … (1 comments)

sam miller team of remax stars realty: Have you ever watched a deer eat up close? - 11/28/21 02:17 PM

Most people had a chance to see a deer and especially a large buck eat from an ultra close viewing perspective.  For those who have never had this type of experience with a deer, today is your lucky day.  We found a way to mount and hide a GoPro Hero 10 camera inside of a feeding bowl so that we could capture an ultra close up video.  Knox County Ohio is surrounded by gorgeous woods, farmland, and acreage which makes it the ideal location for wildlife and especially for deer.

sam miller team of remax stars realty: Do you know why we are not in a buyer's housing market? - 11/02/21 05:27 PM

The question "Why aren't we in a buyer's housing market" comes up often?  The answer isn't complicated but it may surprise you a little bit.  The nationwide housing market has been experiencing a massive boom in buyer activity with some parts of the country experiencing more than 10 buyers for each new listing that comes on the market.  In Knox County Ohio, we have experienced strong buyer demand with more than 5 buyers for most of the available listings.  This year the number of buyers has outnumbered the available homes for sale by the largest ratio I have ever seen in … (1 comments)

sam miller team of remax stars realty: Can I skip my house payment now that my home is under contract? - 10/19/21 06:04 PM

When a homeowner accepts a purchase agreement and their property goes under contract with a buyer we find that many sellers are curious if they have to make their upcoming mortgage payment. It is very important that the property owner continues to make their mortgage payment on time especially if the homeowner is planning to buy another home. Not making your mortgage payment will create several challenges that you will want to avoid.
You will be charged a late fee due to your delinquent mortgage payment. Your credit score could take a hit which could jeopardize your ability to get a … (3 comments)

sam miller team of remax stars realty: Are you surprised at home much your real estate taxes increased? - 02/09/21 07:18 PM
There are a lot of Knox County Ohio homeowners who have been very surprised by the increase in their most recent real estate tax bill.  The majority of Knox County Ohio has gone through a real estate re-appraisal process which takes place every 3 years.  The Knox County Ohio real estate market is very different today than it was 3 years when they had previoulsy updated our property values.  Home pricing throughout Knox County Ohio is higher today, the availability of homes for sale is lower and the buyer demand is stronger than ever and that is partially being driven by … (4 comments)

sam miller team of remax stars realty: Did you see the sunrise this morning? - 03/20/19 07:10 AM
I was heading into the office this morning driving north into Mount Vernon when I noticed a soft glow taking shape.  I pulled into the tennis court parking lot at the Mount Vernon Nazarene University and grabbed my iPhone.  The texture of the clouds was in constant change as the sun was coming up and the glow intensified as the sun crested the horizon.  I highly recommend experiencing a sunrise or sunset in Mount Vernon, Ohio and the surrounding Knox County communites.  Our rural small town country setting is the perfect backdrop capturing a picturesque sunrise and sunset photo.

sam miller team of remax stars realty: Knox County Ohio Homes with Acreage For Sale - 02/07/19 01:37 PM
There was a time when real estate agents controlled the listing info through MLS books.  Back in the day, the MLS books was likely the only organized real estate database in Knox County Ohio that featured the most current available inventory of  homes for sale in the Knox County Ohio communities.  These printed books used to be updated bi-weekly in a printed publication format that was as large as a Sears or JC Penny catalog.  What was even worse for consumers is that only the real estate agents, brokerages and appraisers typically had access to them.  They were the gatekeepers of the real estate … (1 comments)

We created a unique drone video flying over the Ariel Foundation Park in Mount Vernon, Ohio during the winter season while the park was covered with snow and ice.  The drone video offers a unique view because the Rastin Observation Tower is typcailly closed during the winter so it is nearly impossible to experiences this type of view without the use of an airplane or drone.
