Retro Colors Make a Comeback: What's Hot in Decor Right Now Everything old is new again, and that goes for decorating with color. While the last decade in home décor has largely been defined by white and varying shades of beige and gray, today’s designers are harking back to yesteryear with paint colors, furniture and even kitchen appliances.
Part art deco, part ‘50s suburban and part ‘60s mod, these awesome retro colors are fresh and refreshed to fit today’s tastes, say the color mavens at Sherwin Williams, whose wall color faves this year include shades of pink, aqua and pale or … (3 comments)

san jose condos: Why Waiting To Sell Your House Could Cost You a Small Fortune - 01/05/22 11:02 AM
Many homeowners who plan to sell in 2022 may think the wise thing to do is to wait for the spring buying market since historically about 40 percent of home sales occur between April and July. However, this year’s expected to be much different than the norm. Here are five reasons to list your house now rather than waiting until the spring.
1. Buyers Are Looking Right Now, and They’re Ready To PurchaseThe ShowingTime Showing Index reports data from more than six million property showings scheduled across the country each month. In other words, it’s a gauge of how many buyers are out looking at homes … (1 comments)

There are many conflicting headlines when it comes to describing today’s real estate market.

san jose condos: Tips for Single Homebuyers: How To Make Your Dream a Reality - 12/30/21 10:14 PM
If you’re living on your own and looking to buy a home, know that you can make your dream a reality with thoughtful planning and the right team of experts. Research from Freddie Mac shows 28% of all households (36.1 million) are sole-person, and that number is growing. Over the past 40 years, the number of sole-person households has nearly doubled, and that’s a trend that’s expected to continue. According to Freddie Mac:
“Our calculation suggests that there will be an additional 5 million sole-person households in the United States by the next decade. This means 42% of the household growth will be contributed by sole-person households, . . .”

san jose condos: Pending Home Sales Slide- Buyers Grow More Cautious About High Prices - 12/29/21 07:53 PM
The number of home buyers who signed a contract to purchase a home in November declined, as high home prices give buyers pause.
Pending home sales decreased 2.2% in November compared with October, the National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday. Economists polled by MarketWatch had projected a 0.8% increase for pending home sales in November.
The pending home-sales index gauges real-estate transactions where a contract was signed for a previously-owned home, but the sale has yet to close, and it is benchmarked to contract-signing activity in 2001. The index provides insight into the direction of existing-home sales data will take in the months … (2 comments)

san jose condos: Sellers Have Incredible Leverage in Today’s Market - 11/02/21 12:30 PM
What Does This Mean for Sellers Today?With buyers eager to purchase but so few homes available, sellers who list their houses this fall have a tremendous advantage – also known as leverage – when negotiating with buyers.
Your Leverage Can Help You Negotiate Your Best TermsThese three buyer needs give homeowners a leg up when selling their house. You might already realize this leverage enables you to sell at a good price, but it also means you can negotiate the best terms to suit your needs.
And since buyer demand is still high, there’s a good chance you’ll get offers from multiple buyers who are willing to … (1 comments)

san jose condos: Do you want to live where Elon Musk did? - 10/27/21 11:54 PM
Do you want to live where Elon Musk did? All it takes is some $31,990,000.
This is actually 3rd time this home is on the market in the past 17 months.
You may ask… why didn’t this home sold?
In the first attempt Musk decided to try to sell via “for sale by the owner” route which didn’t work for him and he simply asked interested buyers to call him directly. You probably ask how? I am not sure either!!! But as in most for sale by the owner situations he eventually withdrew this home and re-listed with a licensed real estate … (0 comments)

san jose condos: The Disturbing Design Trend Perfect for Halloween - 10/26/21 11:59 PM
What Is ‘Goblincore’: A Dark, Disturbing Home Trend Just in Time for Halloween
With Halloween just around the corner, it seems all too fitting that the latest decor craze celebrates all things creepy: “goblincore.”
So what is goblincore, exactly? Think flowers in a vase, but the blooms are dried up and dead. Decor motifs hail from nature’s underbelly, such as snails, moss, bones, tarot cards, and mushrooms. (Apparently, goblins and their elf brethren dwell under spongy fungi.)
A goblincore homeowner also feels that gastropods (snails, slugs) are unsung heroes, deserving a front-and-center place on the walls and as figurines on sideboards. Ditto … (2 comments)

san jose condos: How to Avoid Buying a Haunted House! - 10/26/21 11:11 PM
How to Avoid Buying a Haunted House!
Know your state’s disclosure laws!
The rules on what sellers have to disclose to buyers vary by state—and sometimes even by city. Sometimes you’ll receive the full picture about a house’s history, but there’s also chance you could be left in the dark.  A haunted house falls under the category of a stigmatized property.
A stigmatized property is home that may be displeasing to buyers for other reasons besides its physical condition. In many states, it’s not mandatory to disclose a stigma like a murder, suicide, or crime—or paranormal activity.
