The Repair Addendum

There are two major points of negotiations when you are buying or selling a house. The first happens when the offer is made. At this point things like price, closing date, disclosure of financing, and other items are worked out. The second happens about a week later when the buyer has completed [...]

Counting Our Blessings

Thanksgiving is far and above my favorite holiday of the year. I think I love it so because it hasn’t been commercially hijacked (although the lines at Costco this morning does put some holes in this thought), and it revolves around giving thanks, being with our loved ones, and pausing to reflect on our [...]

Market Activity for Nov. 7-13, 2011

It feels like we are falling into a pattern for the fall and winter. Sales are not gangbuster, but they are steady with about the same number of sales this week as last, and as the week before. New listings seem to be falling off, which is normal at this time of year. [...]

Celebrating Veterans and VA Loans

With Veteran’s Day occurring this Friday, 11/11/11, it seems appropriate to take a moment to look at the benefits that our Veterans have earned as a result of serving our Country.

VA loans are one of the few remaining sources of 100% financing. The veteran still has to qualify their income and their credit. [...]
