Meet the members of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

02/13/2015

It's colder than a polar bears toes out there, but things are heating up!!! For me, and for the Real Estate market.
I've recently changed affiliations and have joined an amazing team of Realtors with Coldwell Banker at Cross Keys in Roland Park. I am truly excited with the move. Accessability of resources and team focus are my two immediate take aways from the move, and I'm looking forward to representing my clients with even more confidence as I move forward in my career.
As far as the current Market is concerned, there are some GREAT signs for a robust market come March/April when the thaw begins. Nationally, its just recently been reported that overall national home value is up 6% with an average value just north of $200k, and Mortgage Interest Rates are STILL at a Historical low.
To me, this is a sign that market corrections have been effected and effective, and that consumer confidence is rising. This also shows that both government and banks realize the importance of home ownership to the success of our economy, and are wary of pushing any major changes that could drastically impact consumer confidence and buying power.
If you are thinking of selling, lets talk! If you are thinking of buying, lets talk!
Sellers, you've got 6weeks to de-clutter and get some of those home projects finished so you can put your best foot forward when the market opens up in April. You don't want to be late to the dance!
Buyers, now is the time to get a good picture of your finances and visit with your accountant and mortgage broker to get pre qualified and be ready to put an offer down when these houses hit the market. There will be competition to be the first in with an offer, and if you're ducks are already in a row you won't lose out on the house of your dreams.
Get a move on, folks, it's gonna be a GREAT year!!!!

10 days to Halloween. Who's got the best/spookiest Halloween displays in your neighborhood? Reply with a photo if you can.

The leaves are turning, the weather is mild. Pumpkin patches and Halloween are closer than they appear. And leaves. Lots of falling leaves. Keep an eye on those gutters and downspouts, friends. Without proper drainage avenues, those fall and winter rains will trickle (or pour) straight down the side of your home, causing flooding, and eventually foundation issues. Protect your investment!

Labor Day is almost upon us. Goodbye beaches, hello back to school and cooler temps. Back to reality we go. (Sigh)..... What does Fall have in store for you? For me, as is customary this time of year, the real estate market tends to heat up. Let me know if you are ready to buy or sell, or sell then buy! Interest rates are still at all time lows, and the Baltimore Market is one of the top ten most stable markets in the country, which means properties aren't over valued and you have plenty of options available no matter what your budget. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to begin a new journey!

Just a reminder: As temperatures begin to rise back up to typical Late July/August heights, check your outdoor A/C units for any debris on the fans and change your intake filters so those machines don't have to work any harder than they already are. An $8 filter could save you $800 replacement cost!!
