Spring into Action: Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal with Expert GuidanceTo sell your home this spring, it may need more preparation than it would have a year or two ago. Today’s housing market has a different feel. There are more homes for sale than there were at this time last year, but inventory is still historically low.

Right now, homes that are updated and priced at market value are still selling fast. Today, homes with curb appeal that are presented well are still selling quickly, and sometimes over asking price.

Wondering What’s Going on with Home Prices?The recent changes in home prices are top of mind for many as the housing market begins gearing up for spring. It can be hard to navigate misleading headlines and confusing data, so here’s what you should know about today’s home prices.   Local price trends still vary by market. But looking at national data, Nataliya Polkovnichenko, Ph.D., Supervisory Economist at the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), explains: “U.S. house prices were largely unchanged in the last four months and remained near the peak levels reached over the summer of 2022. While higher mortgage rates have suppressed demand, low inventories of homes for sale have helped maintain relatively flat house prices.” Month-over-month home price changes can be seen in the chart be... 05/25/2023

Why It’s Easy To Fall in Love with HomeownershipNo matter how the housing market changes, there are some things about owning a home that never change—like the personal benefits it can provide. When you own your home, you likely feel a sense of attachment because of the comfort it gives and also because it’s a space that’s truly yours.Over the last few years, we’ve fully embraced the meaning of our homes as we spent more time than ever in them. As a result, the emotional benefits our homes provide have become even more important to us.As the most recent State of the American Homeowner from Unison puts it: “. . . one thing has stayed the same: the home continues to be of the utmost importance and a place of security and comfort.” The same study from Unison notes: 91% of homeowners say the... 05/25/2023

When we see fabulous interiors that look like they came straight out of a magazine, we often only look at the surface and don't delve deep enough to figure out why it looks that way. We may think the space is amazing, but we ultimately believe it is out of reach for us. Understanding interior design and how it works in the home is something that we all overthink far too frequently. Incorporate warm wood tones into your decor. The use of warm wood is making a comeback. Incorporating it into the bathroom's ceiling and vanity pieces is a great way to do it. This is especially useful in an all-white bathroom where you want to keep it light and bright while maintaining a warm feeling. Consider making a warm wood frame for an existing mirror that could use an upgrade, or replacing builder-gra... 05/25/2023

Pros of RentingThere are plenty of reasons to rent rather than buy your next home. For starters, it’s usually cheaper to rent than to buy, especially when you factor in the cost of maintenance, repairs, and other ownership costs. And if you’re not ready to settle down in one place for a long time, renting gives you the flexibility to move as often as you like without having to sell your home first.Another pro of renting is that you don’t have to worry about the hassles of being a homeowner, such as dealing with maintenance issues or finding someone to take over your lease if you need to move suddenly. And if something does go wrong with the property, it’s the landlord’s responsibility to fix it, not yours. Finally, renting can be a good way to test out a new neighborhood or city before ... 05/25/2023

As I was driving to the Bensalem Real Estate office today I saw lights flashing and heard sirens. There was a car behind me. It was not a police car. I pulled over some to see if he needed to get by me thinking it might be a volunteer fireman. Nothing he stayed behind me. The light was green so I proceeded to turn. He followed again I moved to the right so he could pass me and he did not. Lights still flashing I became nervous and my heart started pounding as I had seen on the news about women being stopped by cars, not police vehicles, and being cautioned to be aware of the dangers. I knew I was not speeding and had not gone through stop signs or red lights so I continued to the main road where he passed me and signaled me to pull over and I saw he had a uniform.  I explained I thought... 05/25/2023
