Agents Bring Wyckoff Knowledge to FSBO Dealings   Suppose you are driving past one of those 'For Sale by Owner' yard signs…and the house looks good! Do you screech to a halt, jump out and rush up to the front door to - quick! - sign a deal? More likely, you jot down the phone number (hopefully one is visible, though with For Sale By Owner signs, it's not always the case) so you can call up your agent to get the details. Veteran buyers considering aWyckoff For Sale by Owner (FSBO) property know why it's highly beneficial to use their agent from the start.  Even if you have found the home yourself, you should want that first call to go to an agent. Here's why: Agents offer advanced relationships that stand to improve your bottom line. For example, timing often can make or break a deal, a... 02/24/2013

Cracked Glass Found in Home Prices Crystal Ball Who doesn't want to know what will happen in the future? That's a very small group, for sure, since good planning is a cornerstone of good management -- for households as well as for organizations of every kind. So, whenever Wyckoff homeowners see headlines like “Home Prices Up 'Unsustainable' 5.9% in 2012,” above a MarketWatch article that explains that price growth is expected to slow, they probably would like to gauge the reliability of the forecasters. In this case, MarketWatch is part of the relatively stalwart Wall Street Journal, so credibility goes up. But closer examination finds that the author is just reporting information real estate site Zillow compiled. Zillow is indeed an internet behemoth -- but can Wyckoff homeowners rely ... 02/17/2013

The Best Day for Listing Your Wyckoff Home is… “Mansion” is the Wall Street Journal's entry into the high-end real estate magazine world. Well, not quite a magazine -- it's an extra section they run on Fridays. It's a nice diversion for those who want to read about really rich people selling their properties. More than that, it could actually be an important source of information if you decide to buy a vineyard in the middle of Los Angeles (Bel-Air, actually -- that one was featured last week).  It was another article that caught my eye on Friday, though; one that dealt with a topic we agents have long debated. The article was headlined “THE BEST DAY TO LIST A HOME IS…”.  It summarized an elaborately executed study by a national brokerage revealing hard statistics on which day of the we... 02/13/2013

The Underpublicized Wyckoff Real Estate Option In case you missed it, there is at least one widely overlooked Wyckoff real estate investment possibility that can be available to active IRA holders. Especially if you are among those who look at the current Wyckoff real estate market and find numerous investment possibilities with significant long-term upsides, the Self-Directed IRA option can be worth looking into. Some of the broad outlines of how it works: 1. The right IRA custodian Custodians are trustees who hold self-directed IRA assets and file documents with the IRS. Wyckoff real estate purchases are considered 'non-traded' assets -- and not every IRA custodian allows for them. You may need to find one who does.  2. Use only IRA funds  All costs associated with your real estate in... 02/03/2013

Realtor® Group Serves Wyckoff Homeowner Interests The sun rises in the east and, almost as dependably, someone in Congress comes up with the bright idea of chipping away at the mortgage interest rate deduction. Think of all that money Washington could spend! The National Association of Realtors® is one of the main reasons that idea doesn't get much traction - nor many of the other threats to the traditional benefits Wyckoff homeowners enjoy. The reason homeowners (even those without mortgages) shudder at attacks on the interest rate deduction is that the result would be to abruptly X-out a great chunk of the home-buying public. That includes most young couples and many other groups, including many retirees who are currently just squeaking by. Home values would necessarily drop; jobs in ... 01/27/2013

If you live in a home built in the early 20th Century (or before), cold winter evenings can send visions of new homes dancing through your head. With floors that creak and windows that barely slow the icy gales of January, even the antique charm of your original wooden banisters can wear thin (most noticeably after your sister’s kid knocks another handrail loose). But don’t despair. While new homes in Wyckoff may be a preferred investment for some buyers, duplicating the authenticity of your hand-hewn, turn-of-the-century Victorian is, quite simply, not possible.  With the right specialists to help, keeping your original home in top repair might not be as time consuming or costly as some fear. Original windows, for example (the kind famous for letting chilly drafts pass unmolested) don... 01/06/2013

As fall becomes early winter, the crisp air, festive celebrations and holiday spirit do their job of gladdening Wyckoff hearts. However, after the eggnog bowl disappears -- once January rolls around and the holiday decorations go into cartons -- it's common to feel varying degrees of the 'winter blues.' Actually, the experts call that Seasonal Affective Disorder, but since the acronym is 'SAD,' I prefer 'winter blues.'  For anybody who's been feeling a little down, particularly if you have a Wyckoff property that's been on the market without attracting much activity, this is a good time to take a moment to bring back some cheer to your property! The quickest spirit-elevator is to simply lay out colorful pillows, throws, or little details like punchy candles or tablecloths. Then roll up ... 12/30/2012
