Hi All!

 

They're finally here - those lazy days of summer! Now that you're  into the swing of relaxation, summer nights, and enjoying more time in nature, it's the perfect time to kick back and let the stress of that horribly long winter melt away. Hope you enjoyed a wonderful 4th of July celebration in whatever way that meant to you. 

 

Summer isn't the only thing that's heating up. The market remains strong.  Inventory is low, prices are going up, and there are buyers looking for YOUR home. Please give me a call if you or someone you know is in market to sell or buy.

 

Enjoy the rest of July and continue to make summer 2013 a special one!   

 

Keep cool,

  May all your days be filled with kindness, hope and modesty

 
Is 2013 the right time to buy a house?

By Benjamin Feldman

 

2013 time to buy Have you noticed it yet? The growing murmur out there, getting louder every week, bubbling up in newspapers, on TV, and on news sites, and it's telling you ... to buy a house in 2013.

 

OK, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but there are definitely a lot of experts (and non-experts) suggesting that now is the right time to buy a house - that is, in 2013. And that murmur may soon turn into a deafening roar. So let's look at the questions you need to ask to determine whether 2013 is really the best time to buy a house.

 

Is Buying a House Right for You Right Now?

We'll discuss the numbers in a second, but before we do that it's important to get one thing straight: No matter what the national economic and housing market trends indicate, it only makes sense to buy a house if it meshes with your current place in life and your future goals.

Cheap Bathroom Renovations That Help Sell a Home

Bathroom By Tom Kraeutler

 

A few cheap bathroom renovations can actually help you sell your home.  When potential buyers stroll through a home, they're looking for the features and amenities that best match their lifestyle. Every choice you've made impacts a buyer's interest, and you can get closer to the reality of a sale with a simple, one-step bath renovation.

 

"Bathrooms are one area where home buyers make decisions because it will be one of the most used rooms in the house," says industry expert Nora DePalma of O'Reilly/DePalma. "Make them look bright, absolutely spotless, and loaded with storage options. Your home will sell faster and at a better price."

 

These bathroom renovations are low-cost, where a little DIY savvy can go a long way toward making your home appeal to a wide range of shoppers. Here are five cheap ways to transform a bath without breaking your pre-sale budget.

 

1. Introduce a neutral palette: When you're showing a home for sale, one of the main priorities is to present a neutral but appealing space in which potential buyers can envision their own day-to-day lives.
