First Time Home Buyers Get Their Ducks In A Row

First Time Home Buyers Succeed With Planning and Preparation
Our First Time Home Buyers Series will begin at the beginning with advice
to help you get your real estate ducks in a row.
A Real Estate “Buyers” Market
Anytime that you have more than 6 months of inventory backing up, you have a Buyers Market. And some would say, “it’s about time!”
Happily for Buyers, gone are the “escalation” clauses for the Agreement of Sale price and the anxiety producing multiple offers-“pick me, pick me” (although I’ve heard of a few on some “hot” properties).
Sellers Love, Love, Love First Time Buyers!
Why? Because First Time Home Buyers don’t have a house to sell, which eliminates a major contingency. Read the rest of this entry »

Real Estate Open Houses And Why We Need The Puppy
November 17th, 2008 categories: A Realtors Life
Real Estate Open House and Why Do We Care About The Puppy?
I love helping people realize their family home ownership dreams. And I usually love holding Sunday Open Houses. It’s an opportunity to show off the best features of my listing, put my Real Estate Marketing Plan into action and have some dialog with the people who matter most in real estate.
I really like these people.
That’s what I was thinking as I listened to Sixty Minutes interview Sunday night with the President Elect Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
“…America is ready for the Puppy…America is more ready than we are..” is what our President Elect said when pressed on the issue of the promised puppy. We know that it’s the right thing for the parents to plan for the best time for the puppy to join their family. And yet, I’m curious, why do we care so much about the puppy?

Malvern Real Estate Market Report Zip Code 19355 as of October 2008*
Comparing the real estate market of October 2008 to October 2006 through the key indicators of the
in real estate values for Malvern shows that the Under Contract Price has increased 8%. This appears to be a good and positive direction indicating more realistic “For Sale Pricing” and hopefully some increased demand.
The real story in Malvern and most of our local markets, at this time, is in the volume of transactions. The overall volume of homes under contract is down 48%
Traditional Fall Slow Down In Volume
Traditionally, we see a bit of a slow down in the market in the Fall as far as the Days On Market is concerned.
The Months Supply of Inventory was 9.2 months in October 2006 compared to 14 Months Supply of Inventory in October 208, a 53% increase Read the rest of this entry »

Fall Back or Spring Forward November 2, 2008

Daylight Saving Time – November 2, 2008 Set Your Clocks Back Saturday November 1st Before Bedtime.
Fall Back from Daylight Saving Time on Sunday November 2, 2008. 
After the sugar highs of Halloween, you like me, may be in high gear Saturday, November 1st and forget to turn your clock back one hour.
If you do forget, you might even show up for Church an hour early. Which is only slightly less embarrassing than if you forget in the Spring and walk in when everyone else is leaving.
“Fall Back, Spring Forward ”
“i before e, except after c”, and if you’re musical, “EGBDF, every good boy does fine” and “face” (the lines and spaces of the Treble Clef), or to loosen or tighten screws, “lefty loosey, righty tighty” are some of the ways we jog our memory into action with these mnemonics.
Mnemonic Devices.
If you like fun words, that’s what these are called. Mnemonics are supposed to make things easier to remember, but the word mnemonics is not easy to remember. When I can remember the word, I can’t remember how to spell it. Read the rest of this entry »

Radnor Real Estate Third Quarter Market Report 2008
October 28th, 2008 categories: Delaware County, Market Trends
Radnor Township Pennsylvania Third Quarter Real Estate Market Report*
Radnor Township Delaware County Comparison of the Third Quarter of September 2008 to September 2006 shows the greatest effects on the 
decline of the Median Sold Price, decline of the number of units sold and the growing Months Supply of Inventory.
However, this is a traditionally strong, high end market that could move forward very quickly with a little promise of overall recovery.
There is a chasm of concern showing here, between the Median Sold Price decline, compared to the Median For Sale Price decline of only 1%. I suspect this is due to the hard hit, high end, new and under construction market which is propping up the Median For Sale Price.
Likewise, the high Months Supply of Inventory, MSI is also affected by the New Construction Inventory build up, while the high end market “sits on the sidelines”. It’s important to keep in mind that Read the rest of this entry »

Clays Bakery Berwyn – Yummy Local Places

Clays Creative Corner Bakery in Berwyn – A Yummy Local Place
“Now, there’s Clays Creative Corner Bakery. When you want a great cake for a holiday celebration, 
wedding, party, or “just because”, you MUST go to Clay’s”. That’s what I tell my Relocation Buyers.
Realtors are like everyone else. We all have our favorite business places. You know, the place where you can depend on great service and good stuff. What’s different about Realtors is that it’s part of our job to know a little something about some of the Yummy Local Places. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
In the spirit of doing my Yummy Local Places research, I stopped in to visit Denise at Clays Bakery, named for Denise’s Father, Clayton, who was a Tredyffrin Police Officer. Denise, her Mother and husband, Bill founded Clays’ 18 years ago. Hard work built a successful business. It’s not unusual for them to be in the shop in the wee hours of the morning April to June, the peak celebration months. Read the rest of this entry »
