When is Rock Bottom For The Housing Market?

Posted by on May 3, 2012 in Real Estate | 0 comments

In answer to the article header, the answer is right now. May 3, 2012, the exact moment in which I write this, rock bottom just happened. Here are the reasons. #1) Arguably the most important reason, or the least important – because with a positive attitude come positive things.

Home Value vs Inflation and Interest

Posted by on Apr 3, 2012 in Real Estate | 0 comments

In 1989 I went as a four year old to Disney Land with my family, and Space Mountain had just opened – it was a ride from what felt like the future (ask my siblings… because I honestly can’t recall it). Chicago, Phil Collins, and Madonna were all that played on the radio. Ghostbusters 2, The Little Mermaid, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Back to the Future 2 were the Blockbusters of the year. It was during this time of my life that I learned a great lesson – if I picked up all of the loose change from the ground, I could become...

Posted by on Mar 7, 2012 in Personal, Real Estate | 0 comments

I’ve been checking out a ton of real estate around the country because of my job, and I love the United States of America! There are beautiful places from coast to coast. Northern California is a gorgeous area with rolling hills, large lots and beautiful vineyards. Charleston South Carolina is also beautiful with its magical historic feel. But when it all comes down to it, there is no place like home. Home is Logan, Utah. Here I can experience four beautifully diverse seasons each year. I get the beauty of the mountains, the joy of...

Most Underrated College Town: Logan UT

Posted by on Feb 21, 2012 in Articles | 0 comments

Kudos to my home town! Logan Utah is officially the most underrated college town in the country, according to nextgenjournal.com. Big deal?  Yes.  When you take a look at some of the other heavyweights that rounded out the top 10, you realize that this was legitimate. Here’s the irony.  I hate that I’m blogging about this, because the very thing that keeps Logan such a great place is the fact that there aren’t many people who know about this fantastic city.  Logan is a gem of a city that’s off the beaten tracks of...

According to Inman.com, Sandicor (the MLS for Southern California, San Diego) requires that the listing agent contact information is placed on websites. In an effort to give listing agents and listing brokers better exposure on third-party real estate websites, San Diego-area multiple listing service Sandicor Inc. has added a new data field where they can enter contact details. The MLS will reportedly terminate its data feed to those third-party publishers that do not comply in displaying the new field within 60...

Gas Smell Coming From Oven

After we purchased our new condo we quickly decided the old oven needed to go and it needed to be replaced by a new oven.  When we pulled the old oven out, the only replacement option was to go with an all gas range – there was no electrical output to power a stove. When our new range arrived we hooked it up, turned on the stove and wa-la things worked great.  Well it worked great until we turned on the oven portion.  After just a few seconds we detected an off smell and turned off the oven.  Later on we cooked a batch of brownies...

Home Seller Mentality – What To Watch For

Posted by on Jan 23, 2012 in Home Buying | 0 comments

When you are looking to buy a home, you want the best possible deal. Who wants to pay more than they have to? When doing that, it’s important to know which type of seller you are dealing with. Is this a Non-Motivated Seller or is this a Motivated Seller? The Motivated Seller Most sellers are motivated. Many sellers are in this boat: They owe more on their house than what it is worth, so unless they continue to make payments on it for the next 7 years they will continue to lose equity. Interest rates may have been very high when they...
