  Take a Spring time tour of any Pineville Louisiana neighborhood and you will find families sprucing up their yards. Fresh mulch, neatly trimmed lawns, and colorful flowers will likely greet you.   Sadly, a late Summer tour of the same Pineville Louisiana neighborhood would paint a very different picture. Yellowed-lawns, dead shrubs, and weeds galore become the calling card of most homes. At some point in July most Pineville residents stop struggling with the sun.   The oppressive heat, coupled with a lack of rain, spells doom to most lawns. Sadly as a Pineville Louisiana real estate agent I see many homes on the market that have given up the struggle with mother nature. The picture was taken from an active listing on the market here in Pineville!  Yep, these weeds were two feet from ... 08/18/2011

    Buying a home is the largest investments most families will make. As such, I recommend anyone looking to buy a home in Pineville Louisiana should pay for a professional home inspection. With the joy of home shopping comes the onslaught of bills. Between deposits, loan locking, lease termination fees, etc... it seems everyone wants some of the Pineville home buyer's money.    The natural tendency then is to cut corners. Frankly that 300-350 dollars for the home inspection creates a pretty tempting target. But let's examine why EVERY Pineville home buyer should get a home inspection. 1) Buyers fall in love with houses, home inspectors do not-- It has been my experience that buyers typically fall in love with the home they purchase. This is especially true of first timers. Think back ... 08/11/2011

 The economy is on the mind of most Pineville Louisiana home buyers. After all, the home is the largest investment most families will ever make.

Number of homes from 75k-150k-- 85 actives Average number of days on the market--95 Number of homes sold from 75k-150k in the last six months--68  So what do these numbers tell us about the Pineville Louisiana housing market?

  You can almost feel the panic in their voice. Each year sellers call me wondering what will happen if their home doesn't sell in August.  "Perhaps we will sell it in September" coupled with a reassuring grin, is my usual response. Sellers seem to think that the housing market follows the Watermelon season. Best in July, slower in August, and a memory in September.  Yes, I usually expereince a small reduction in call volume as school starts back. But once the kiddos are settled the volume picks back up. Last year I sold a home every month of the year. I can count the number of days that did not feature some business activity on both hands.  If your home is aggressively priced, the buyers will come, regardless of the season!  Need help finding the perfect home in Central Louisiana?

  We are hard on our homes. Over time even the most well-built of structures require a little TLC. But with the fast pace of family life most folks delay basic home maintenance. So what does that mean when it comes time to move?  One of the most common phrases I hear out of sellers is "We will fix that when we get a buyer". After all, why fix something now that we might mess up in the next few months? The simple reason is most buyers cannot look past such shortcomings. People are busy. Thanks to my kid's softball game, I strolled into the house just before 10pm last night. Do you think I wanted to"work onthe house" after the late show? Neither will most buyers...  In the above photo the wood is rotton and full of carpenter bee tunnels. Not to mention the wires resemble something out of ... 05/10/2011

   Am I the only one who likes to attend inspections? It seems I learn something every time I attend one. This week was no exception. My listing is a modest cottage on pier and beam. Due to some soft spots and "leveling issues" we called in a foundation vendor.  It seems installing skirting around the foundation is the WORST thing a homeowner can do. Why you ask? Such skirting blocks the natural air flow. As a result, anything wood (read anything expensive) is going to rot. Home owners attempting to "dress up" their property can be setting themselves up for major repairs down the road. So if you want to protect your home go au natural! 04/14/2011
