Have you ever wondered  what it would be like to have a huge variety of homes to choose from when it is time to go house shopping? And historically low interest rates? Well welcome to reality. If you are contemplating looking for a home, now is the time to do it. It still is a buyer’s market and if you are in control. You might be thinking that you won’t get as much for the sale of your home, and you are right. But, you are not going to have to pay as much for your new one. So it all even’s out and with the interest rates this low, you win. Let me help you through the process, and have some fun doing it. Brian

It is not often that you get a chance to purchase a home in such a desirable area in such great condition, at such a great price. But this could be your opportunity. This 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home is ideal for the growing family. Wonderful school system in a quiet neighborhood makes this home a unique opportunity. Enjoy the fenced in pool, or the large family room on the first floor. Cathedral ceiling in the living room and finished area in basement that used to be used as a dance studio.  $319,000.

Now that summer is officially over with yesterday being Labor Day, I hope everyone got to enjoy it to its fullest. It definately was a shorter summer with all the rain we had in June and July. Mother Nature was kind to us these past 4 days though with no rain even predicted. With that said, the real estate market is still chugging along and the interest rates are still great. Now is the time to make that move before winter takes its toll. We bought our annual ski passes this weekend thus confirming that it is inevitable and not that far away. But for now, we will enjoy the rest of the warmer weather and look forward to the changing colors that are in our near future. If you have a real estate need, drop me a line. Brian

Recently I attended a Realtor function where I was able to talk to a number of my peers about the current market. It appears that we are seeing a resurrection of sorts for deals being done. The attorneys that we work with said that most of their business is now purchases instead of refinances and all the Realtors that I spoke with seemed to be optimistic about the current condition of the market. It has picked up and with the rates still at incredibly favorable status, it really is a great time to buy. We are starting to see multiple offers on properties that are priced properly and we are seeing more inventory that is representative of the market conditions. If you would like to see how you can plan for your future in real estate, drop me a line or give me a call. Brian French
