Factory Built & Panelized Construction Has Never Looked Better.             Let there be no doubt that the Factory Built Housing Industry has grown gradually but consistantly over the years. From Trailers to Mobile homes to Manufactured Homes, to Modular Homes to Prefabridated & Kit Homes the Factory Built Home segment is accounting for more than 10% of the total housing market in the US.          Prefabricated homes are gaining more advantage over site built homes for many of today's home buyers such as young folks trying to enter the housing market, newly married couples who wish to purchase their first hoe and particularly 77+- Baby Boomers who are starting to down size or choose a much more affordable and managable life style.     In recent post Great Recession years it appears tha... 11/16/2014

Baby Boomers Wealth Transfer Paradigm Shift Into Family Trusts Booming       There's no doubt about it. We're an aging Nation much like the rest of the World. As of 2014 the US population has grown to 323,444,162. Baby Boomers represent 76.4 million of that total or roughly 26% of the US total population.   While it doesn't look like most Boomers will outlive their retirements. There is a growing movement towards establishing Family Trusts in order to protect what estates they have managed to accumulate and are attempting to pass on if they're lucky.   I often post on this subject as I for one at 69 definitely fit that profile. But more importantly I think it's important for the Real Estate World to know what the future trends seem to be heading to. It's safe to assume that many if not ... 11/01/2014

The Next Residential Housing Boom?

Always be respectful inside a homeowner's personal residence.  Do not touch things, do not sit on their furniture, do not open their refrigerator, and do not peek inside drawers, cupboards, or medicine chests.  Hopefully, you did not bring your children with you, but if you did, make sure they do not touch ANYTHING.  It is nearly impossible for children to keep their hands to themselves.  They just get so excited when they see new things, and cannot resist playing with them!If the residents have cats or dogs, be aware of the family’s wishes and be mindful not to let the pets go out of the house.  Otherwise, you may be chasing that dog down the street and trying to corral him back into the house.  Use the restroom before you leave the office to view houses, so you won’t have to use the r... 08/01/2014

Septic Systems and Bedrooms- Here is the poop on it.    BY DONALD HESTER Home Inspector with NCW Home Inspections, LLC EMAIL  SHORT URL              Share: June 12, 2014 07:24 AM Septic Systems and Bedrooms- Here is the poop on it.  Chelan Real Estate Inspections   So you are looking at a home or trying to sell a home that is on a septic system. A crucial question needs to be asked. How many bedrooms was the septic system designed for? This may affect just how the home should be listed.   If your septic system (on-site waste system) is designed for 3 bedrooms then you have a 3 bedroom home no matter how many bedrooms there may be or anyone thinks there should be.   I just did a home inspection that was listed as 4 bedrooms but the septic was designed for 3 bedrooms. This will be record... 06/17/2014
