Diferred Maintenance Seasonal Awakening, Spring Market Boston Area Move In Homes. It was a tough winter. A drive down our streets shows us through pot holes and crater’s that it was a tough winter.  It is nice to be treated to some warm stretches interspersed with more cursed snow, at least for this season.  On with the Spring and into the Summer, if you would please.  Deferred maintenance on your house can cost you more in the long run than if you just take some simple steps today.  For instance with the building of this deck, a better nail would have been a better choice.  What would have made this stay together longer is if some treatment at all had been applied to the deck in the beginning.  Enough said, do something this Spring to protect your house, whatever it is, and feel good about saving money in the long run if you have to replace it. And, if you do replace it, do the best job you can because in quality work is their equity built.  If you cheap out, or do it yourself-poorly, you will not get the same value as you would hope.

KW-Spirit-Award-1The Spring is a great time of year. Things begin to bloom again, the days get longer and the summer is right around the corner. The market right now in the Boston Area and for my Boston Area Move In Homes it is a Seller’s market. There is still not enough inventory in most areas that there is a multiple bidding craze going on with people way overbidding for the few homes that are in Move in shape.  If an agent isn’t savvy they will allow a Seller to go with a higher offer with more risk of the deal not appraising or inspecting for value, than informing the Seller of the best deal that can get done in the shortest period of time with the best results of having to put the property back on the market with a One Strike against it question.  It is a great time to get your home on the market.  I know it is better than last year and the year before that, I can not promise that next year will be better.  A lot can go wrong.  Interest rates always change and the market is up and down as well, these factors weigh heavily on the real estate values.

Thanks for the comment Wayne, today is a nice day to check the house on the outside here in the northeast.  I can't promise that for tomorrow.
