This month Patricia Feager and Kathleen Daniels are hosting the March challenge titled  "March to a Solution | ActiveRain March 2023 Challenge"  Patricia and Kathleen are requesting us to share issues encountered during our professional career in Real Estate, which may help others to avoid and hopefully resolve. This is my third entry.Years ago I listed a home for a divorced man who was giddy with his new fiancé. He had been divorced for a while and met a lovely woman in the community. They made the decision her house would work better for them so he was selling his and then would move in with her.A photo shoot was scheduled, brochures were completed and the house listed. I held an open house that was well attended. An agent called me and said she had a buyer interested and wanted to kn...

Foundation CracksDue to shifting soil, water issues, and normal settlement, most foundations will crack. There are different kinds of foundational cracks and varying causes. Once you understand the type of cracks you have and the underlying cause, you’ll be better able to repair them to protect your home.There are two basic types of foundational cracks. They are horizontal and vertical cracks that differ in causes and severity.Vertical Cracks—These run up and down your foundation. An example of one is a hairline crack. Vertical cracks are often small and don’t require professional help. If there are only a few cracks and they don’t get longer or wider over time, they can be patched to reduce the potential for moisture or infestation.Horizontal Cracks—Unlike vertical cracks, horizontal c...

This past week was a lot of fun, being on vacation in South Texas.   My friend of 25 years had an AirBnB in McAllen, Texas, and said no one had visited the entire 3 months he had been down there!   Talk about a guilt trip!  OK, not busy right now, so will go!    Had a few things to move on the calendar, but fit in a week away!After making the plane reservations, I looked at the temperatures, and found it was going to be in the upper 90's!  OH MY, and the humidity was way up there too.   Well, suck it up buttercup!    While down there, it did get up to 101, then a cold front came through - WHEW!     Went to South Padre Island, and put my feet into the ocean --- IT WAS COLD!  Have to say, wasn't expecting that, but Bob did remind me that it was winter.   There were kids in the water -- BR...

The average sales price rose 3.7% to $432,529, while the median sales price increased 4.2% to $375,000, continuing the trend of rising prices amidst a shortage of homes on the market. There are some encouraging signs, however.
