Just A Little More

It appears that we are successfully (finally) rolling into Spring and even jumped into Summer there for a few days! While the temps are warming, the same is true with the real estate market. On a broad scale, according to the National Association of Realtors, pending home sales are at their highest level since April [...]

Smart Selling in Spring!

I often try to target my musings towards the Saturday crowd. If we are expecting a snowstorm, I won’t bother talking about how nice and sunny it is as I’m writing. In this particular case, you should be enjoying a “warm-enough” spring day after having just enjoyed that amazing weather on Friday! Suffice it to [...]

Spring Real Estate Market Update!

Can you smell that? Sure smells like Spring to me. Fresh batches of White Mountain mud being grown all over the trails and the beauty of new plants (and animals for that matter) starting to emerge.

But that was not always the [...]

What to Expect From Baby New Year

I don’t know about you, but I have not really jumped into the New Year’s spirit and do not have any resolutions for 2013. I’ll likely maintain my training and diet changes I have made over the last 6 months though. It is amazing how the reward of feeling great, having lots of energy and [...]

Looking Back (and Forward!)

Our friends over at Freddie Mac publish a year-end report on the U.S. economic and housing outlook.  From what they have researched and predict in the coming months, we’re on a stable path of recovery and the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter still.  With interest rates stuck at record lows and [...]

Let The Sun Shine In

I think we are long overdue for a real estate market update.  There have been ongoing reports of a recovery.  “Experts” keep telling us that the market is strengthening and there have even been murmurings of a shift towards a “seller’s market”.  As I have mentioned before, it is important to keep things in perspective.  [...]

Stop and Smell the Colors

In an effort to stop being side-lined by a lower back disc issue, I’m working with a fantastic team of professionals to strengthen my back, increase my flexibility and improve my diet.  It goes without saying that I feel better and stronger, am sleeping better and have volumes more energy.  It turns out all the [...]
