I was doing a little research this morning and was so pleasantly surprised to see a bit a good news recently with the recent Home Sales reports. It seems that for the moment there is a bit of positive news in the market with resales starting to curve upward and new home construction up, and sales prices nudging up. I started wondering if buying a new home is still considered a good investment? A lot of people recently have told me and I continue to put it out there, that it truly is a good time to buy. So why? It seems that with prices dropping over that last couple of years it has made the value of a home seem like a more profitable investment in the future. Understanding that the market is very cyclical makes one see the value of purchasing now. I found a great article highlighting th... 10/11/2009

OK so I had my first listing appointment today. It was with my Cousin whom has a lot to sell, so its not a lot but this week has truly been a real inspiration for me. Today I plan on listing my first lot for sale and I am finding that having an "expertise" in land is a good thing... I might have another land listing next week. But This week has really been good for me. The agents that represent my project in Waldorf have sold yet another one, and I had the luxury today to meet with a real "prospect" that wants to write a contract as soon as possible. THis should be a great rambler plan that he has found online. Luckily this is an online architect that I have worked with in the past and have a discount due to previous purchases. I met with someone tonight that may be a "buyer" YEAH>>> I ... 10/09/2009

Since I was just sending out my monthly homeowner reminders, I thought I would post a little something about maintenance for your home. I think one of the most overlooked items that we forget to do to maintain our home is also one of the most dangerous. Every November 1rst in my market I recommend that homeowners "winterize" their outdoor hosebibs. Other markets need to do this sometimes much earlier, or even not at all. Here in the Washington D.C. area the freeze usually starts to occur around November one. Failing to properly winterize your hosebibs can easily result in frozen pipes. Basically what happens is when the temperature outside drops below freezing the residual water in the line starts to freeze from the farthest point out and leach its way back into the house. When the pres... 10/20/2008
