Properties that are priced to sell are considered "in" the market.  Properties that aren't are considered simply "on" the market.
  - Even in the hardest hit markets, there are still buyers, and they are looking for the most competitively priced properties in the best condition.

Market Myths...
- Myth:  It's a terrible time to sell
- Truth:  When properties are priced competitively, homes sell quickly, regardless of the market.


I help sellers price their homes so that they are "in" the market.  Want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar?

​Here are the top 5 "green" features that attract home-buyers:

- Double pane/energy efficient windows

- Energy efficient appliances

- Insulation

- Climate control for home heating and cooling

- Solar panels or solar-powered heating or appliances


And with the holidays right around the corner, here are some "holiday home safety tips"...

- Keep windows, garages and sheds locked, and don't forget to use deadbolts

- Use timers to turn on lights and a television or radio

- Maintain at least a foot of space between a burning candle and anything that can catch fire

- When hanging lights outdoors, avoid using staples or nails which can damage wiring.  Use UL-rated clips or wires instead
​

- Don't overload electrical circuits with holiday lighting, unplug your tree and outdoor lights before going to bed

- Don't leave a spare key in a "hiding place".  Burglars know where to look

- Lock your power box with an electricity authority lock (lock to which you and the electricity company have a key) so that your home security alarm system can't be cut off from the power supply

Carbon Monoxide poisoning peaks in December and January

Here are 4 Tips to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Buildup in Your Home This Winter:

1.  Test your CO detectors and replace batteries.

2.  Use the fan over your gas range to vent air outside.

3.  Adjust your burners so you get a blue flame; a yellow-tipped flame produces more emissions.

4.  Get a furnace inspection to ensure the safety and efficiency of your heating system.

Small tips can add value to your home and increase your personal safety.

Did You Know...

- Direct Sunlight Affects Your Energy Bill by up to 15%
During summer months, close south and west-facing curtains during the day to minimize heat from entering the home.  During winter months, be sure to open the blinds to allow as much sunlight and heat as possible into these rooms.

- Brighten Your Home With Vinegar
If you add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to the rinse water the next time you wash your drapes, the color will look bright and fresh.

Small tips can bring big savings over time, and even add value to your home.

Did You Know?...

- Ceiling Fans Cut Energy Bills by up to 30%
Using a ceiling fan with an air conditioner will allow you to set the thermostat higher without sacrificing comfort.  A fan's breeze will make a 79-degree room feel like 72 degrees.  In the winter, a ceiling fan on reverse will recirculate warm air that naturally rises, bringing warm air into the living space.

- A Steady Temperature Can Drop Your Heating Bill by 15%
In the winter, the lower the temperature is set and the fewer times the temperature changes, the slower your home loses heat.  Turn down the temperature for eight-hour stretches on a regular basis, like when you're at work.  In the summer, flip the strategy:  turn the AC off or set your thermostat to a much warmer temperature.

Small tips can add value to your home and lower your energy & heating bills.

Pay off your home six years early with one simple strategy.

There's a lot to consider when switching your mortgage payment.  But the facts are pretty simple.

- If you pay half of your regular mortgage payments every other week, you'll have made 26 half-payments.  That's the equivalent of 13 full monthly payments.

- Bi weekly payments take advantage of an extra annual payment.  Just one extra full payment can chop about six years off a 30 year mortgage!
