What is Tuesday Open House??  Well, it’s clearly not an “open house”.  It is my way of throwing the doors open on the RealEstate-Ink.com blog and offering up a few quick articles and facts on real estate for the West Chester, Liberty Township, Beckett Ridge, Mason and Fairfield Township, Ohio areas.  It is not intended to be all about homes for sale, but it will be about that some of the time…

 Tax Credit Countdown: As of this writing there are 52 Days, 15 Hours, 36 Minutes, 10 Seconds until the expiration of the Tax Credits for both the First Time Homebuyer and the existing home owner.  If you wish to take advantage of these tax credits and the unbelievably low interest rates that go with them, you better get moving (no pun intended).   You can search the entire MLS from our website, LowryTeam.com  or if you need to find the value of your current home and need to sell first you can request a FREE market value analysis on our website and you can learn more about our Hassle Free Listing System.

Low Mortgage Rates: Speaking of unbelievably low interest rates, check out these rates!  As of yesterday afternoon these were the current interest rates that you could be taking advantage of if you were buying a new home:

5 Year Arm                       4.30%

30 Year Fixed                   4.80%

15 Year Fixed                   4.20%

These rates are for purchases only, not refinances, and are courtesy of Third Federal Savings

Why are some West Chester, Liberty Township & Beckett Ridge, Ohio homes selling and others are not?

Some quick observations regarding why some homes are selling and others are not.  I have been out showing a large number of homes in the past two weeks to a number of different clients and here are a few quick thoughts on this matter:

1.) Get It Priced Right! – No surprise here, but it really stands out when a home is priced too high compared to the competition.  The buyers see it quickly and they don’t spend much time looking at the house, they just move on.

2.) Clean your home inside and out! – yes, this seems pretty obvious, but after all of my recent showings it is clear to me that it is not obvious to everyone.

3.) Leave your home for showings! – Do not stay in your home for showings – we’ll figure out that you have freshly painted walls or double ovens, etc.  The buyers want to look at your home privately, don’t stay around and make them uncomfortable!

There is more, but I said “quick observations”.
