The recently published, and widely publicized, Zillow Real Estate Market Report for June, certainly paints a great picture of a very, very hot market all over the country, and we're not talking about the sizzling temperatures.Consider, for instance that homes are closing faster at the moment tha...

We'd be the first to admit that, at first glance, the title of today's blog may seem to be the wrong way round, but stay with us a minute on this.While it's obviously the case that the sellers and their agents have to, well, sell their home to you in the first place, once the time comes to make a...

It's the ideal all home sellers hope for - a fast, trouble-free sale with the best financial return.In truth, with buyer sentiment arguably at an all-time high just now, that goal is certainly easier to achieve than it might have been a few years back.But this doesn't mean that there is any room...

It would be totally remiss of us if our blog theme today was anything other than mortgage rates.They are now at their lowest levels in years, with average 30 year interest rates dipping below 3.60%.

Our recent blogs have often touched on what a great market it is at the moment, for both buyers and sellers.In fact the only really significant chink in the armor at present is the continuance of low supply of available homes.While it creates fabulous, low-competition/price-resilience opportuniti...

While it is great to be able to consistently report how well the local real estate market is fairing, it's also true to say that correct pricing of your home is still a critical element in the selling process.Although fast sales and multiple offers are much more commonplace these days, and even a...
