Is your fireplace safe?A fireplace is a comfortable place for the family to gather around during a cold winter. Statistics show that fireplaces and chimneys cause over 23,000 serious domestic fires every year in the United States, resulting in over $110 Million in property damages and tens of fatalities.  These statistics show the importance of the annual chimney inspection.The Chimney Saftey Institute of America(CSIA)  http://www.csia.org  states that even homeowners who do not use their fireplace should invest in an annual chimney inspection. This is because the home's other heating appliances release toxic fumes through the chimney and when it is clogged with debris, the toxic gases will backdraft into the home.The main culprit for a chimney fire is the accumulation of creosote which... 06/18/2021

Before beginning the home search, talking with a lender is a crucial move. Not only will you know the exact amount of home you can afford, but you’ll also have all your necessary documents in order which gives you an advantage in a competitive real estate market.  1.

Everyone knows that the real estate market is soaring today. Residential home values are rising, and that’s a big win for homeowners who were lucky enough to already have purchased. In 2020, there was a double-digit increase in home values – a trend that’s expected to head toward similar levels this year.  Pity the poor buyers though who are still trying to find their dream homes!  They are faced with the question of whether they should keep trying to buy - or just renew their leases for another year and wait it out.  Will prices go down next year? Will interest rates go lower? There is no definite answer for any of those questions although trends (and Fed prognostications) do give a hint. Skyrocketing prices are causing not just current buyers to start questioning affordability in the ... 06/18/2021

Should I Stay or Should I Go Now? Last year, Utah shut down for a couple of weeks. While other states were ulta-restrictive, Utah was open to visitors. State and national parks became the preferred playground for the masses.   Many out-of-area buyers cancelled due to the Wuhan flu. I continued to market and advertise, staying the course, as usual. Business increased due to a large influx of buyers. Come spring, we went about getting the back yard garden tilled and planted, anticipating another successful growing season. We were later rewarded with an abundant harvest!    Of course, going to other states was not a viable option, so we decided to take on a project that became a cohesive team effort for all involved. The results were most impressive!  When vacationing, people look for trop... 06/18/2021

Though both have advantages and benefits, owning a home still outweighs the advantages and benefits of renting. Best wishes for a great weekend! Onward! Some Highlights When you rent, you build your landlords wealth, your monthly payment depends on ever-rising rents, and you don't benefit from home price appreciation. On the other hand, when you own your home, you build your own wealth, your monthly payment is locked in, and you benefit directly from home price appreciation. If you're feeling the challenges of a competitive market, remember that homeownership is a long-term game. Persevering today will lead to financial rewards in the future.     06/18/2021
