first time home buyer: On a Home Inspection what can the buyer asked to be fixed?
- 06/19/19 06:57 AM
"All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest"
Home Insections a.k.a. the deal killers. The questions of the day is what can a byer asked to be fixed VS what should they ask for. Here in the Manchester NH area, the rule of thumb I use is for a buyer is for things we can not see with the naked eye. Most often Well, septic, leaks, heating system, smoke detectors, roof etc.
Now everyone inclusing buyers and their agents does not follow this. The latest trend is … (2 comments)

first time home buyer: The Cost Of Renting Vs. Buying This Spring
- 05/06/19 03:22 PM
Some Highlights: Historically, the choice between renting or buying a home has been a tough decision. Looking at the percentage of income needed to rent a median-priced home today (27.7%) vs. the percentage needed to buy a median-priced home (17.5%), the choice becomes obvious.
