10 Inexpensive Ways to Wow Buyers

Right now there are more homes on the market than we have seen in awhile. Once you decide to sell your home you are competing against bank-owned, forclosures, and short sale homes. These homes are usually priced less, but require some TLC (sometimes they require A LOT of TLC). So in order to compete with these homes, it is important that your home makes the best first impression possible. The following link will take you to some tips to help you accomplish this.

Call me CRAZY, but I'm optimistic

That is right. I said it! I'm optimistic of what this new year is going to bring. I was driving around town this morning and I saw the following quote on a couple of bus benches "Bill Gates started Microsoft during a recession". My Grandma always said "Life is what you make of it". So if we don't stand by idle and let life pass us by and if Bill Gates started one of the most successful companies during a recession, what have we got to lose?

Then I sit down at my computer this morning and there is a graph in a newsletter I get(you can view it Here). Did you know that the Dow Jones Industrial Average started at 8711.98 last year, it did hit a low of 6469.95 in March and continued to grow throughout the rest of the year and it ended at 10580.33. So overall there was an improvement. The following article was in our local paper The Daily Sentinel -Recession over in Colorado, economist tells legislators. Yes, locally our real estate market has taken a hit, but homes are still selling and folks are still buying them (especially below $250,000). People are still getting married, having babies, and downsizing. Life has not come to a halt, we are just more cautious. As we should be. I don't think we will have a quick recovery, but I think there will be a recovery. As our local paper quoted from our Senator in the above article, “There’s been a lot of rosy scenarios coming from some in the Capitol, but the reality is we’ve got some difficult months in front of us”. Notice he said months...not years. Our economy is slowly improving, we are slowly getting back on our feet, and step-by-step things are looking better. Wouldn't you agree?
