Fall is the perfect time for exterior home improvements. This is especially true if you are planning on putting your home on the market this Fall, or in the Spring.

"In contrast to the periods of irrational optimism and pessimism, the market is settling into a balance in which buyers are comfortable spending what they can afford given their income and savings, (0 comments)

- 04/02/15 06:11 AM
Last month I was working with motivated buyers to find a home in a specific area of town. With today's limited inventory, I had to get creative in order to find them a home meeting their requirements. When inventory is low, and buyers are ready, it can be frustrating to wait each day for the new listing alerts — hoping the next email will send notification of your next home. This is why having a dedicated agent working on your behalf is essential. Most often we can find a home for buyers through our MLS boards. We can also assist with (1 comments)
home sales: Pricing Your Home for Sale
- 01/13/15 01:11 AM
There are three main factors that affect the value of a home when getting ready to sell: location, condition, and price. A person cannot change the location of their home. However, you can change the home’s condition to a certain extent. Remodeling your home is a balancing act of how much work and expense should be undertaken, versus whether or not the prospective buyer will like the updates.

home sales: First Time Homebuyers Still Struggle in this Market
- 11/11/14 02:06 AM
For first time buyers, the struggle to afford even the cheapest of housing in the U.S. has been all too real. Between low wages, competition from veteran homeowners and investors and increasing student debt, most young professionals simply cannot fathom financing that type of investment. Now, the prospect is exceedingly difficult as sellers are expecting more cash upfront even on moderately priced properties.
