Go Red For Women | The American Heart Association’s Signature Women’s Initiative

02/14/2019 by Pinewood Realty Group

I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Bukola Olubi speak last night at ABWA (American Business Women’s Association). The time was extremely enlightening. Dr. Olubi is a Cardiologist at Piedmont Heart Institute. She is passionate about heart health for women. According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the number one killer of women. 90% of all women have at least one risk factor for heart disease. Let’s become aware and share our knowledge. The symptoms can be very subtle; this is why knowledge is so important. So in honor of Valentines Day, as pertaining to the matters of the heart, be aware and consider an advance heart screening to be proactive.

So, How’s the Market?

10/03/2017 by Pinewood Realty Group

September 2017

 

  • Listing inventory is 10% lower today than 12 months ago.
  • The average price of a home in September 2017 has increased 10% since September 2016.
  • Average days on the market is down 9.2% of 79 days on the market. This statistic is very price sensitive as $250,000 homes and below are moving significantly faster than $1.5M homes. Know your price range to better predict the time on the market.
  • The number of homes under contract has decreased for the first time since June 2017 at 3.2% from one year ago.

 

 

What Should Sellers Do in this Market?

  • Condition, condition, condition. As prices have risen, the buyer pool is expecting upgrades and better conditioned homes for decor and mechanicals. Before entering the market place, improve the basic areas of the kitchen, bath and service mechanicals of the home.
  • Do not get overly aggressive with your price as the home will still need to appraise. It is better to get a fair market value price quickly than try to wait on the market and negotiate to a lower target. This will reduce buyers to your home.
  • Remove any barriers to sale, by getting pre-approved for your next home before you put your current home on the market. The mental security in knowing you can purchase your next home gives you a better negotiating position when selling.

What Should Buyers Do in this Market?

  • Absolutely, positively be pre-approved for purchasing. Do not change your financial position during the buying process as loan approval is checked and re-checked right up to closing on your new home. In other words, do not quit your job or go out and purchase a big ticket item before closing.
  • With the prediction of less appreciation in price over the next 2 years, try to gather enough money for a 20% down payment if possible. This will reduce your payments as to eliminate the use of mortgage insurance and will insulate your purchase price in the event you choose to sell in the next 3 years.
  • Consider pre-paying your principle or going to a 15-year mortgage. Creating a scenario of more equity will give you more flexibility down the road.

 

The market is both EXCITING and CHALLENGING! We love the industry and love helping our clients! Please feel free to call with questions anytime. We are happy to help!

Save Money through Energy Efficiency

08/17/2017 by Pinewood Realty Group

Everyone is always looking for ways to cut back on spending. Here are some tips on how to efficiently use energy in your home, and to lower the cost of your utility bills!

 

1)   Change light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs

While energy efficient light bulbs cost more, they will save you money in the long run – and they are better for the environment!

2)   Reduce the amount of water usage

  • Don’t leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth – it can save you thousands of gallons of water a year!
  • Take shorter showers
  • Fix any leaking faucets. A leaking faucet can waste thousands of gallons of water a year
  • Use a watering can to water your plants rather than an outdoor hose

3)   Heating and air-conditioning

Unnecessarily using your AC is a major energy-waster. Closing the curtains is a great way to keep the outside temperature out. Placing a chair or other item of furniture against the window can help eliminate gaps where your home’s heating or air conditioning may be escaping.

4)   Program your thermostat

You can set times of day that you want the heat or air conditioning to run, preventing it from running frequently while the home is empty during day time hours.

 

5) Unplug electrical devices

Small electronics consume energy even when they are turned to stand-by or off position. The energy you could be saving by unplugging these items is substantial.
