Now is the time many people think about the past, in particular before the pandemic. From my reflections of Decatur, TX, where I met up with Brian England and his parents a few years back in the pouring rain, I think one should always look at the bright side and never let the weather deter you from the promises you make to others. What helps me to get through the day when the weather isn't the way I want it, is to be thankful I can, and to reflect on three words, "Let It Be."  Decatur is a long distance from Flower Mound where I met up with Brian and his parents a few years back. Rain or shine, I kept my promise. Brian did too! Thinking about showings for buyers, sometimes it takes a lot of driving to find the right location. A lot depends on urban or rural, transportation and affordabi...

When a Buyer Voids on Home Inspection, What Happens to the Report?Whenever I represent a seller that loses a buyer voiding their contract on home inspection, I have a serious conversation with the seller about what to do with the inspecton report.  A couple of years ago, there was a particularly scary set of observations made by a home inspector who represented a first time buyer on one of my listings.   Observations by this inspector included a "cracked foundation wall" and "mold." My seller, who had maintained his home was very angry.  The "mold" noted was spray paint overspray on the ground and the "foundation wall crack" was one that had been observed in my seller's own home inspection years earlier.  I counseled him on what to do next which was, 1) hire a basement waterproofing com...

Good morning!!I woke early this morning. Just a few minutes before 4 am…I had gone to bed very early last night, so, despite the hour, I was well rested…Today is New Years Day. It is 4:14 am, and the house is dark and quiet…As I lay in my bed shortly after waking, I was in relative comfort, but my mind was active…I was thinking of my day yesterday. New Years Eve. A very special day for me over the last 5 years, years which brought me a special new relationship with someone that I loved deeply…I shared those days with her and her family. Very fond memories…But yesterday, New Years Eve 2021, was different…I didn’t feel like celebrating. I was struggling with emotions. With sadness…Sadness for dreams that didn’t work out as I had planned…So most of my day yesterday was spent reflecting on ...

To succeed as a buyer in todays market, its important to understand which market trends will have the greatest impact on your home search. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com, says there are two factors every buyer should keep their eyes on:Going forward, the conditions buyers face are primarily dependent on two things: mortgage rates and housing supply.Here's a look at each one.Mortgage Rates Projected To Rise in 2022As a buyer, your interest rate directly impacts how much you'll pay on your monthly mortgage when you purchase a home. Rates are beginning to rise, and experts forecast they'll continue going up in 2022 (see graph below):As the graph shows, mortgage rates are expected to climb next year. But they're still low when you compare to where they were just a few years a...
