According to recent studies, the best time to list a house is the middle of the week. It gives buyers enough time to find the house online, talk with their agent and schedule an appointment for the weekend. My preferred list day is either Tuesday or Wednesday. In todays ultra competitive market, if all goes well for the seller, they should have offers to consider by the end of the first weekend. Key to this is to price the house properly. Too high, and you don't get offers. Too low and you don't get enough serious buyers.

Homes listed on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday tend to sell for more money than homes listed on the weekend, Redfin reports.

For serious real estate investors, the 1031 exchange provision has been a key tool to building wealth and providing capitol investment for communities, as this article from the National Association Realtors illustrates. Now this100 year old tax code provision is in danger of being eliminated.

With some calling for the repeal of like-kind exchanges, practitioners show how the misunderstood provision can be a boon for communities.

After months of waiting on the bank for this short sale approval, my client was finally able to claim her dream home in Fairfield. She had the foresight to see the potential in bringing this 1920's colonial back to life, and the patience moving forward with the renovation. Patience Always Gives You The Best Reward...

Interest rates are still at all time lows, even after ticking up from 2.73% in early February to 3.05% by early March. Buyers can still take advantage of a great rate in this tight sellers market.
