Blogging from my phone?!

Information at your fingertips. As the work continues to keep us busy in the field, we are hard pressed for enough time to sit in front of the computer to blog these days. So here is a late night thought from the mobile office...when someone asks when will the market "turn around" or "Come Back" ???

...I have to qualify that question with a dignified response....

"What do you mean by that?"

In other words, what is your definition of "Turn Around" or "Come Back"? Is the cessation of downward trending prices? Is it the end of saturation of inventory? Is it merely the perception that the "doom & gloom" is behind us and people truly believe it's OK to make a commitment to move forward with a Real Estate decision?

So I ask you....what is your definition of a "Turn Around" or "Come Back"?

Just a thought--if we wait until the market is at the bottom to buy, the market will be headed back up. Prices are at an all time low now and interest rates are very favorable. Savvy buyers are out and about choosing their next home right now. They're looking for homes that are in move in condition, with neutral decor and priced right.

First Impressions Do Count!

Thank you Dick Greenwood, Coldwell Banker Builder Marketing Broker for this one!

"Michigan State University conducted a study that estimated that good landscaping adds 6% to 11% to the eventual sales price of a home."

With spring here, now is the perfect time to put in fresh mulch, replace dead or dying trees and bushes and add fresh blooms to your yard to enhance the curb appeal. This proves it's worth it.
