  Are you trying to sell your home and finding that it is not selling very well? This might be due to a number of reasons that you can’t control, such as its location or the fact that the home layout is somewhat unusual.   If you are struggling to sell your home, there is one factor that you can alter that might change things – the price.   Many homeowners are reluctant to lower the price of their home, because it feels somewhat like a defeat. However, while you want to make as much money from your house sale as possible – it is better to sell your home at a slightly cheaper price than to let it sit on the market for a long time.   Have You Had Many Lookers, But No Buyers?   If you have had many people come to look at your home, but no one has placed an offer, this might be a sign that ... 10/29/2013

You might love your furry friends, but are their pet odors turning off potential buyers when you are trying to sell your home?   Many cat and dog owners are around their animal companions so often that they become immune to the smell and don’t notice it in their home, so you might not even realize that your home smells of pet odor.   However, when you are selling your property first impressions are very important and if a potential buyer gets a whiff of pet odors when they walk in the door this can really make them lose interest in your property.   Ask your real estate agent for an honest opinion. If they say that you have a problem, here are some ways that you can freshen up your house without getting rid of Fluffy or Fido.   Air everything out. Open up all of the windows to let the fr... 10/21/2013

  Every home seems to have a never-ending remodeling list. As you consider tackling your next project, it usually pays off if you also think about helping the environment.   Green remodeling can last longer, utilize recycled materials and typically end up saving you money in the long run. Below are several environment-friendly ideas that will have your neighbors green with envy.   1. Rain Gardens   Rain gardens are shallow depressions in your yard planted with native shrubs and flowers. When there is a large rainfall, all the water rushes along roadways picking up dirt and pollutants along their way to drainage systems and eventually rivers and streams. Rain gardens catch water run-off, which reduces the street flooding and makes for cleaner water sources.   2. Reclaimed Hardwoods   Usi... 09/10/2013

  What happens if you find the dream property that you want to buy before you have made the sale on your old property? Ideally you would have sold your current home before you buy your new property.   However, sometimes the transition doesn’t work out that way. You don’t want to give up the purchase if you have found a bargain on your dream home, so is it possible to buy the property before you have closed on your current residence?   The answer is yes, it is possible.

  The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reported Thursday that its Housing Market Index rose three points to a reading of 59 for August.   Confidence among builders is likely growing in connection with stronger housing markets and high demand for homes. These conditions are being driven by short supplies of homes for sale in many markets.   Builder confidence in current market conditions rose by three points to a reading of 62, while builder confidence in market conditions within the next six months rose by one point to a reading of 68. Confidence in buyer foot traffic was unchanged from July’s reading of 45.   Readings above 50 indicate that more builders surveyed view housing market conditions as positive rather than negative; there was some concern that the high builders’ ... 08/19/2013

    If you’re looking to purchase real estate, keep in mind that the homes you are considering might be in need of repairs or improvements.   In a recent study done by a major home inspection company, at least 40 percent of previously owned homes on the market have at least one serious issue or defect.   When buying real estate, you should have a professional inspection performed on the property to look for any issues that might not be visible to the untrained eye.   It’s better to identify this damage before you buy so that you are not stuck with budget-busting renovations.   Below are a few major red flags you should look for when buying a home.   Foundation Damage   Look at the slope of the yard. If the land slopes towards the house, this could be causing water to run down into the f... 08/13/2013

  You’ve got a new job offer across the country and you are planning to pack your things, buy a home and make the big move.   However, when you tell your 17 year old daughter your plans, she lets out a mournful wail and cries that it is not fair. How can you possibly take her away from all of her friends, her favorite hangout spots and the cute boy she just started seeing?   Moving is a difficult transition and it is often even more traumatic for teenagers.
