Greetings,

Laura Ingalls Wilder once wrote "HOME is the nicest word there is."

Home is a place close to the heart where memories are made and families are raised. The Spring real estate market is about to be in full swing and, now that the weather is changing, buyers are out and about - looking for their dream home.

If you have been thinking about selling, this is the prime time to list. Online property searches are on the rise. Mortgage rates are still historically low and housing inventory is still down. The Wall Street Journal and Huffington Post have stated that housing prices have shown a slight rise. That is another motivating factor that has buyers out looking for a home.

In a market like this it is important to price your home properly. We can provide you with a free Real Estate Equity Analysis of your home that will provide the information you need to make a decision about selling. We look forward to helping you with all your real estate needs. Call or email us today.

Sincerely,
Brace & Ryan


Annual Real Estate Investment Overview (AREIO)

Here's a question: when did you last review your real estate portfolio? Just like your stock portfolio or insurance policies, your real estate investment(s) should receive an annual review. This includes your personal residence too!

Markets change, properties age, interest rates move up and down - all these factors make it a good idea to sit down with me and review your real estate investments on an annual basis.

 

 The national average for the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage last week was 3.86 percent, according to Freddie Mac's most recent survey.

Freddie's Deputy Chief Economist Len Keifer believes 2015 will be a great year, with the highest number of housing sales since 2007. The outlook for 2015 is even better, assuring almost instant equity if you purchase now.

Gone are the days when the yard is used for just a few months. Today, the outdoors are an extension of the indoors, with gracious spaces for eating, lounging, and playing year-round. The latest trends in outdoor living have you covered - literally.


Patio covers

 

Adding a pergola or arbor to your outdoor space can protect you from the elements, giving you year-round access no matter the climate. Add space heaters and ceiling fans to make it even more inviting. Built-in is best, but if you're looking for a more affordable option, head for your local improvement or big box store, where a variety of hard- and soft-top options can easily transform your space and give you the coverage you want without having to hire a construction crew.

 
A dimmer switch not only adds ambiance to a room but it can also save electricity and extend the life of your light bulbs. First know what types of lights you have already installed such as incandescent or fluorescent. Determine how many lights you will be connecting to the dimmer and add their wattage. For instance, if you have two lights and each is 75 watts, your total load is 150 watts. You will need a dimmer.
