The details of these sales were analyzed to determine how the number of bathrooms and the number of bedrooms affected sales price.

Hi everybody Yesterday was a great day! And we're are jumping for joy! This lovely town-home in Union Township closed with a first time home-buyer who were also newlyweds. An exciting time for them both in their young lives.   It is a wonderful completely renovated complex with a community pool for all to enjoy as well. First off was the walkthrough and then down to business at the closing table. Here are the details of the home.   Our newlywed/customers couldn't be happier. We are so happy for them and are extremely proud that we could assist them in their search for the perfect new home. Ahhhhh, new home-ownership can be so very rewarding. Congrats to Maria and Chris on your new dream home and best of luck. And congratulations on your wedding as well.A true whirlwind year for you both.
