  What in the World is a Dreidel!? (pronounced "dray-dle") A dreidel is a 4-sided spinning top with one Hebrew letter on each side. Those Hebrew letters are pronounced:   נ "nun", ג "gimmel", ה "hay", ש "shin" Each of these letters stand for a Hebrew word: Nun = Nace, which means "miracle" Gimmel = gadole, which means "great" Hay= hayah, which means "was" Shin = sham, which means "there" Put them together and you get, "Nace gadol hayah sham" A great miracle happened there (in Israel) Dreidels sold in Israel have the letter  פ "pay" instead of the "shin". The letter "pay" stands for the word "po", which means "here". In Israel they say, "Nace gadole hayah po" A great miracle happened here (in Israel) What is the miracle that happened? Aha! For more about the miracle of Chanukah you'll ne...

Chanukah is the Festival of Lights December 20-28, 2011 There are Jewish holidays and holy days and they are observed in different ways. Chanukah is a holiday. The "ch" of Chanukah is not enunciated like "ch" in child, but as a gutteral, throaty sound...like the "ch" in Johann Bach. There is  no English equivalent. As a result, many pronounce it as if it started with an "H".  Chanukah is a holiday celebrated for 8 days. This year, Chanukah is from December 20-28. Jewish holidays are celebrated on the same day of the Jewish calendar every year. Chanukah is always celebrated on the 25th of the month of Kislev. However, the Jewish calendar is not the same as the civil calendar used by most of the western world. For that reason every year people will ask, "When is Chanukah this year?" meani...

Professionalism Never Goes Off Duty! For as long as I can remember, people have been confiding in me. Within moments of meeting strangers, they are often telling me their life stories. I take that confidence very seriously. I learned about confidentiality at a very early age from my parents, neither of whom ever told anything private or confidential about their work. Confidentiality is an important component of any profession or occupation where one is privy to private information. If revealed, that information may significantly, and negatively, impact an individual, a business transaction, a product or a whole company. As Realtors, our clients may confide in us about the circumstances that are impacting their decision to sell their home, or to buy a new one. This information should nev...

    The number of single family homes sold in Sharon MA in November 2011 remained the same as the previous month. Here's a look at the 7 homes that sold in November. What do these numbers mean? This month, 11 houses came on the market, compared to October's 13 houses new to the market. Although sales remained steady at 7 this month, the number of houses that went "under agreement" had a big increase from 6 to 11 houses. Average sales price also increased significantly to $565,493 up almost 40% from October's average sales price. In fact, November is one of three months this year when the average sales price was over $500,000. Not too bad for this time of year. The last time we saw this pattern was from February 2011 to March 2011. Term Definition: What does "Under Agreement" mean? Under...

Here's a look at the 7 single family homes that sold in Sharon MA in October 2011.   What do these numbers reflect? This is simply a "snapshot" of what single family sales looked like for the month of October 2011 in Sharon MA. It would not be accurate to make broad statements about the local Sharon MA real estate market based on these numbers alone. While the average sale price decreased from September 2011 by 12%, the higher September average sale prices were influenced by the sale of 2 homes over $700,000 and 1 home that sold just shy of $1 million. There are a lot of questions about the uncertainty of real estate today. What you hear on the news, or read in the newspaper often does not reflect the local market. By local market I mean, specifically, Sharon. Each town differs signifi...

Sellers, Do You Wish You Could Read A Buyer's Mind? Well, now you can! After many months of interviewing buyers, this post will provide some insight into what buyers are really thinking when they go into your home! I have gathered the input from a focus group of buyers who have asked to remain anonymous. Nina: What is the most surprising thing you see when you look at a house for sale? Buyer 1: Sometimes I have to remind myself that I came to an open house and not a yard sale. There's so much stuff on every surface! Nina: What about just picturing how your own furniture would look in the rooms? Buyer 2: It's hard for me to picture my furniture in the dining room when there's a bird cage in the corner, a treadmill, a loveseat and mounds of clothes in there. Nina: We know that kitchens an...

Yesterday was another busy day. One I really enjoyed! I showed a house. Made phone calls. Got some paperwork done. But the best part was stopping by and visiting with different clients! The day before Thanksgiving, I like to drop off apple and pumpkin pies from Guarino's Pastry Shop, or edible fruit arrangements to my clients. Some were delivered by the Edible Arrangements company to clients who now live far away, or out-of-state. I like to do the local deliveries. There's nothing better than ringing the doorbell, greeting clients with hugs and hearing about their Thanksgiving plans. I ended up sharing my Best Ever Roast Turkey recipe with a couple of them, too! This morning, I already had an email from one family who dug into the pies last night with a little left over for breakfast th...

You'll Never Eat Sawdust Again! I've heard people say they don't eat turkey because it's as dry as sawdust. Other people say they cook their turkey for 3 hours. Some people fry their turkeys in an effort to inject taste. (That method results in lots of calls to the Fire Department.) Others soak theirs in a brine. I've had a recipe for over 20 years that is simply the Best Ever Roasted Turkey! It comes out moist and delicious every single time. Here's the exact recipe, which is meant for turkeys weighing up to 15 lbs. Note: If you wish to stuff a turkey, do not use this method. Preheat oven to 450 degrees (225 degrees celcius). I always use a kosher turkey. Wash the turkey. Sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika. (I am heavy handed when it comes to this step!) Put in 3 or 4 stalks of ce...

It's Not About Publicizing My Name. It's About Selling Your House! When I do a market analysis for sellers, it's to help them understand the current value of their home. If despite the information I provide, the sellers want to list their home $100,000 above the market value, I know we have a problem. First, it tells me that the sellers aren't really looking to me for my experience and knowledge of the real estate market. Second, I know that the house will sit on the market until the price is dropped sufficiently to attract buyers. If the sellers don't drop the price, buyers will assume they're not really serious about selling. Third, I want to be successful for my clients. I know I cannot do that if the house is not priced correctly. I'm not interested in putting a "For Sale" sign in s...

On the Fence or On the Market? I've seen a lot of houses lately that just don't seem as if the owner is really interested in selling. Some are "For Sale By Owner" and others are represented by a real estate agent. In all cases, potential buyers get the message that the seller doesn't really want to sell the house. You've seen the houses. They're the ones that need at least $100,000 worth of work but are priced as if they need only $30,000. Or they're so cluttered and unkempt that it's clear the seller is not thinking like a buyer. Some of the houses are priced way above market value and sit there, month after month, without coming down in price. "Some Day My Prince Will Come" is a great theme for a fairy tale, but not a good way of finding a buyer. It's not always the real estate agent'...
