 Yes, it's true the Spring Market has arrived: I have 2 new listings, 4 closings scheduled, 6 of my listings went into pending status, 2 Buyer contracts accepted, and 2 Crocus Hill lots reserved. Whew, I have been very active growing my business. I love my job!

 We highly recommend Nancy for the sale of your house. She is an accomplished realtor with high energy, market savvy, an effective communicator, and a lot of knowledge to stage and present your house in the best possible way. Three weeks to list and three and a half to sell our house. She did an outstanding job.

April is here and with it comes flowers blooming, walks in the neighborhood and outdoor patio dining. It also is a perfect time for spring cleaning and getting that yard in shape. Spring is also a time of renew and change. If you are thinking of making a change this spring, I would love to help you make that change as easy and stress free as possible.  

 

If you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling, give me a call. Now is a great time!

2012 home sales will be strongest in past 5 years

February pending sales up 9.2% from year ago

By Inman News

 

The National Association of Realtors is predicting existing-home sales will jump 7 to 10 percent in 2012 to the highest level in five years, based on an "uneven but higher sales pattern" so far this year.

 

Pending home sales fell a seasonally adjusted 0.5 percent from January to February, which was up 9.2 percent from the same time a year ago, NAR said today in releasing its latest Pending Home Sales Index.

 

Last week, NAR reported a similar trend for existing-home sales, which were down 0.9 percent from January to February, but up 8.8 percent from a year ago.

5 Real Estate Rules of Thumb: Fact or Fiction?

By Tara-Nicholle Nelson

 

We humans have a natural craving to simplify the complex. This same instinct, which explains why legends, films and fairytales from every culture tend to boil down to heroes vs. villains, also explains why so many buyers and sellers desperately seek rules of thumb for making the often scary, rarely simple decisions they face.

 

Reality check: your real estate transaction is not a children's story. Grown-up life is complicated, as are money matters and relationships. Since real estate involves all three (being a grown up, money and relationships), smart buyers and sellers should cast a suspicious eye at super simple real estate rules of thumb.


Let's take a handful of the most persistent ones head on, and decipher which of them are fact, and which are fiction.
