Welcome!
It's hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. Soon the leaves will be changing color and begin to fall. September brings the start of school, football and apple picking at your favorite orchard.
September also starts the fall housing season. Record-low mortgage rates and falling home inventory continue to bolster home construction and the housing market. Condos and lake properties are hot right now too. Now is the time to take advantage of these great opportunities.
Call or email with any of your housing needs.

5 Mistakes Sellers Make in a Hot Market
Tara-Nicholle Nelson
Sometimes, the real estate market can play games with our minds. At the top of the market, home buyers imagine that sellers frolic through fields of cash, rubbing their hands together megalomaniacally as they flip through hundreds of offers, concocting arcane "no brown M&M"-type contract clauses to put the screws to buyers-in-waiting.
At the bottom of the market, the tables turned, and sellers might have visualized buyers sitting on top of truckloads of cash, while deigning to offer them only a paltry few pennies for their Most Precious Asset.
Reality check: neither of these images are anywhere near reality. At the bottom of the market, even the most bargain-hungry buyers are riddled with grave concerns about whether and when to buy, as well as how to get through the maze of tight mortgage and appraisal guidelines. And the opposite is true, too. Even on today's market - which is much more active than it has been in years - sellers fear making missteps and mistakes that will cause their home to lag or will result in them leaving money on the table, so to speak.
Here are five of the mistakes I see sellers make when the market heats up and buyers start biting - and some tips for avoiding them.

September home-maintenance checklist
School is back in session and mornings are crisp, making this a great month for tackling home projects.
By Anne Erickson of MSN Real Estate
Ever wake up in early September and notice that the air smells different? School begins, days get shorter, and a sense of responsibility begins to creep up on most of us.
We've always wondered why "fall cleaning" isn't as popular as "spring cleaning." The air on brisk September mornings inspires us to dutifully button up the home in preparation for cooler days and longer nights.
