Myths and Dragons of Home Selling, Once, Twice, Thrice
On our Chester County Main Line Pa Today Real Estate Blog we talk about tips for selling your home and home buying tips in the Philadelphia Main Line and Chester County Pennsylvania area. One of those myths and dragons of real estate is the idea that you only have to sell your home once, to the buyer.
Two Spring Festivals, Chinese New Year and Mardi Gras coincide with the arrival of our Spring real estate market. And like fire breathing Dragons, real estate myths can burn up a sale really fast if you’re not careful. Some real estate myths are harmless, like Chinese New Year Paper Dragons. Even so, I want my Sellers to get to settlement and celebrate like it’s Mardi Gras! And for that we may have to slay a few myths and dragons first. Read the rest of this entry »

Home Improvement Investment Return
January 14th, 2009 categories: Financial, Home Buyers, Home Sellers
Home Improvement Chester County Philadelphia Main Line Area
The phrase that “All Real Estate Is Local” contains a lot of truth in Real Estate and especially for
our Pennsylvania, Chester County Real Estate and Philadelphia Main Line area. We have a varied mix of home styles and home price ranges sometimes within neighborhoods.
Each year Realtor Magazine together with Remodeling Magazine* publishes their Cost vs Value edition with statistics on resale value investment return. These are Regional differences but It’s also true that Chester County may differ from Delaware or Montgomery County or style differences between Single Family Homes or Town Homes.
Good Lighting Deserves More Home Improvement Attention
My clients seem to be most impressed with Kitchens and Bathrooms and often comment on Lighting. Lighting isn’t on the list but in my experience it should be. When a home buyer says, “It seems dark in here”, it’s not good news for the Sellers home I’m showing. Especially here in the Northeast. Good lighting can punch up the WOW factor for a modest investment!
