I have one of the prettiest drives to the office. Along the winding road of Oak Hill is a collection of custom homes on sprawling homesites: from historic farmhouse to timeless center-hall colonials, from not-your-average rambler to 1940s bungalows, from brick Cape Cod to expansive Manor homes, from Victorian influence to American foursquare. As diverse as the architecture are the values on Oak Hill, ranging from 400K to 2 Million. Oak Hill Road is off Rt. 198 in the Silver Spring, Spencerville, and Burtonsville triangle. Since our office - we share a building with Oak Hill construction which specializes in site development and custom home construction - is a good ways down the road, I get to enjoy the view of vintage houses and gorgeous estates every time I go in. Oak Hill Road was des...

Make Sure the Price is Right When Selling in Leisure World If you’ve ever watched “The Price is Right,” you know that the only way to win is to be the one to correctly guess the price of the item you want without going over! That means your guess must be just slightly under the retail price. In today’s shifting real estate market, where  home values are projected to appreciate at lower rates, homeowners will not be able to price their homes as aggressively as they were able to just last year. They will have to employ the same strategy: be the closest without going over! Pricing your home at or slightly below market value actually increases the number of buyers who will see your home in their search! Over the last six months, the months’ supply of inventory available has taken longer to ...

Preparing Your Leisure World Home for a Successful ShowingAlthough all home buyers have different tastes, expectations, and preferences, there are several things you as a home seller can do to make your home more appealing.Three priorities worth keeping in mind are: spaciousness (or, at least, the appearance of it), brightness, and cleanliness. Whether your home is a Leisure World condo in a hi-rise building, a townhome or a one-level patio home, a feeling of spaciousness will enhance its visual and psychological appeal.Sometimes getting a second opinion can make all the difference in identifying ways to improve the look and feel of your home. As an example: If you're unsure whether a bulky piece of furniture, a huge plant, or a rarely used side table is detracting from that desired loo...
