Buyers Market?
Yes and I sold my home in one day at full price!
Yes it's true! I've been wanting to move for the longest time but my youngest child was in the wrong school district. Now he is in the right one in highschool. I watched a neighbors house sell in three days with multiple offers and then watched another similar home have the same thing happen. So I hopped to it. Got the best stager to help me get my home ready. I priced my home at the bottom of the competition, no brainer for no ego. And it worked!
If you want to move up and are realistic, now is the time!!! If you price your home right, it will sell. The reality is that we have lots of buyers in the market. They are circling, know the market and they will pounce when they see the right deal. And so will you for what you want to buy. For the first time in years the disparity in moving up is at it's lowest! You might be selling lower but you will buying lower too likely.

Easy Home Improvement Projects
By ARA
 Here are some ideas from the experts at Lighting Showplace on how to dress up your home, starting at the front door.
If your front door is dark, consider updating your lighting. A well-lit front entrance says 'welcome,' while at the same time enabling you to greet guests and identify visitors.
Don't spend a small fortune on new dining room furniture? Simply paint those plain white walls and switch out the chandelier hanging over the table to make a dramatic difference.
If your bathroom still looks like it's circa 1970, choose a lighter paint color and swap out the fixtures for a bold new look.
Log on to lightingshowplace.com to access an online catalog with hundreds of fixtures to choose from. You can shop by brand, collection of style and easily pair up matching pieces to get a look you like. | |

Tips for Organizing
Your Kitchen
By ARAcontent
 If you find yourself on bended knee with a flashlight, or perched on a rickety chair to locate a favorite pie pan or a certain spice, it may be time to get organized. Thankfully, with a few tricks up your sleeve, you can have everything within reach—and sight—without worrying about keeling over on the kitchen floor. Here are Julie Morgenstern's top 10 tips for organizing your kitchen:
1. Have a plan of attack. Begin with a strategy based on how you want to function in your kitchen. Prioritize by identifying the frequently used "must have" items and the things you use only occasionally.
2. Declutter in chunks. If it seems overwhelming, start with the most visible items first, such as what's on the countertops. You'll get a feeling of instant change and gain motivation to do the next chunk... Read More | |

What is Lease-to-Own?
By J. Kerr
 Lease-to-own contracts are generally offered on homes that are difficult to sell or to buyers who cannot obtain financing. Although the term "lease-to-own" sounds self-explanatory, it can actually be a complex legal process. For that reason, general guidelines are given here but it's always best to discuss a lease-to-own contract with a real estate professional to determine if this is the right option for you.
When a buyer and seller decide on a lease-to-own purchase, a contract is drawn up between the two parties. In this contract, the buyer agrees to pay a certain price for the property, usually market value, and the buyer agrees to purchase the property within a certain amount of time. Lease-to-own contracts are commonly from six months to three years in length... Read More | | |
