Does the Ability to Pay Cash for a Home Purchase Matter During this Strong Sellers Market? Of course it does! It matters a LOT! We used to proclaim that ‘Cash is KING’ and sellers were all over the cash Offers - even lower than list prices were coveted. Sellers knew that buyers obtaining a mortgage could easily have an issue during the lending process - small or complicated - and the deal was toast. Sellers had to start all over again and then struggled to get anywhere near their list price again. So, cash WAS king! The market slowly began to stabilize and mortgage requirements … Continue reading...
The Housing Bubble Discussion Again?
The Housing Bubble Discussion Again? I can’t tell you how often I am asked when I ‘think this bubble is going to burst.’ The ‘mockingbird media’ tends to believe that we are in the midst of a major bubble and that we are soon to be in a world of hurt! This is not about a ‘bubble,’ this is about simple economics, supply & demand. When asked if today’s high buyer competition and rising home prices are evidence of a housing bubble, Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at NAR, said “thisis not a bubble. It is simply lack of supply.” Today’s housing market is healthy and rising prices are … Continue reading...

Why We Love Daylight Saving Time
After a long day of outdoor activity and enjoying our gorgeous Carolina weather today, it’s time to reflect on the positive impact of Daylight Saving Time. Being given longer evenings works extremely well for me both personally AND professionally! While setting the clocks forward one hour in the spring doesn’t ‘create’ more daylight, it does change the time the sun rises & sets. Personally, I love getting home from showings or listing consultations and having wonderful free time with my husband out on the patio…or this year, at the dock! Tonight was our first evening to have dinner at … Continue reading...
It’s an Unprecedented Sellers’ Market
It’s an Unprecedented Sellers’ Market I received an email this morning with an article about how sellers are ‘finally feeling comfortable selling again.’ I almost wrote back and asked what planet the sender was on! Our sellers have felt comfortable selling since mid-2012 and we’ve been in a strong sellers’ market since February, 2016. If you don’t own your home (meaning outright or carrying a mortgage), the median sales price should be a wake-up call! Where else can you invest your money and garner a 13+% increase in value in 12 months - not years, MONTHS - ONE YEAR! That is … Continue reading...

P. U. – What’s that Smell?
P. U. - What’s that Smell? When a circuit breaker overheats, the plastics and heat-resistant chemicals used to make the breakers, as well as outlets or wiring insulation, may emit a fishy or urine-like odor. You can often smell the odor throughout the house, but it is more intense near the breaker box or in the room of the faulty outlet or wiring. The odor may intensify or diminish with changing temperatures and circuit usage. Because it is often a circuit breaker of a high-demand appliance (HVAC, dishwasher, etc.), it can be difficult to identify the origin as those appliances … Continue reading...
