(Centsable Inspection)
A Marblehead MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Consumer Fact Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved.

Trading was positive for the week through Wednesday's close. The data generally was benign causing no large mortgage bond market swings. Unfortunately a strong 273-point jump in the DOW Thursday resulted in mortgage rates worsening by about 3/8 of a discount point that afternoon. Fortunately bond prices recovered some Friday, as the stocks were unable to hold those gains. Rates rose by about 1/8 of a discount point for the...

The new website is up!  The site at www.matt-dolan.com has been updated to include new search tools, content, and style.  It isn't ground breaking by any means, but any new energy is worth it in this market environment.  The spring is here, the buyers are showing up, and we are getting ready for action.  We have had back to back open houses with over 40 people at each site touring.  Bigger numbers than we were expecting.   We are also starting a blog at www.teamharborside.com.  Updates will be coming soon to each of these locations.  We want to take advantage of web 2.0 and get ready for the new breed of buyers.

There is an old Chinese saying that says "before brilliance, there must first be chaos."  Warren Buffet and other business leaders have commented on how the current market conditions have created an opportunity for great wealth to be made.  With the chaos in the current housing market, the opportunity for brilliance is now.  The markets typically recover 6-9 months before the actual economy gets back on course.  If you think that this country will recover in the following year, as many experts do, then now is the time to look for opportunities in the housing market.  First time home buyers and investors alike can profit for these conditions.  There is not one magic solution!  All real estate is local.  Find a Realtor in your area that understands this prospective.  Find someone that und...
