8 Quick Fixes to Increase ValueWith buyers scarcer, sellers must up the ante to convince them that their property offers what many want most - top value for dollar expended. Here are eight fast fixes:1. Buff up curb appeal. You've heard it before, but it's critical to get buyers to want to look on the inside. Be objective. View listings from the street. Check the condition of the landscaping, paint, roof, shutters, front door, knocker, windows, house number, and even how window treatments look from the outside. Add something special-such as big flower pots or an antique bench - to help viewers remember house A from B.2. Enrich with color. Paint's cheap, but forget the adage that it must be white or neutral. Just don't let sellers get too avant-garde with jarring pinks, oranges, and purp... 02/15/2010

The Treasury auctions were mixed with the 3 and 10-year auctions showing decent foreign demand. Unfortunately the 30-year auction was a huge disappointment and caused mortgage interest rates to worsen Thursday. The fear of future rate hikes sent mortgage bonds lower Friday pushing mortgage interest rates higher. For the week, interest rates rose by about 1/2 of a discount point.

Bedford, New Hampshire Foreclosed and Bank Owned Property When a homeowner defaults on his/her mortgage in New Hampshire, the lender will start the process of obtaining the right to sell that property at auction in order to satisfy the debt (balance owed on the mortgage). Purchasing a home at a foreclosure auction has many risks to a potential buyer (especially a first-time home buyer). There is commonly no opportunity to view the interior of the property, conduct proper inspections and in some cases, there are individuals still occupying the premises. Because of these risks, homes in Bedford, NH are not always sold at auction and the bank will instead take possession of the property. The property is then referred to as bank-owned, REO (real estate owned) or foreclosed property. There a... 05/09/2009
