Congratulations to our Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty associate, Nancy Pomerleau, who was recently awarded the CRB Life Member Status with the Council of Real Estate Brokerage Managers!
There is an increasingly high demand coming from today’s home buyers for homes that utilize solar energy. Popular with Millennials to retirees, this green source of energy is something these eco-savvy buyers are willing to pay a lot more to have.
The National Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry has recently released a report to give insight as to which of the most popular home renovation projects would provide the most impact to your bottom line when it comes time to sell your home. It becomes clear that some renovations offer more bang for your buck, while others leave the homeowner with a pretty small return on investment.
With limited inventory on the market, some home buyers who have been shopping for a while may start to wonder if the only way to find the “right home” for their family is to build one. It can be frustrating to know exactly what you are looking for, but struggle to find it on the market, or lose-out because someone outbid your offer. But is building a home better than keeping up your search of pre-existing homes?
The average price of rent in New England, and across the country, continues to inch upward, yet many of those renters admit they are afraid to buy a home. In a recent survey conducted by Bankrate.com, almost half of the renters polled said that they have avoided purchasing a home because they don’t think their credit is good enough for them to be able to qualify for a mortgage. These renters also expressed that they could not afford a down payment which, they believed, was always required.
Giovanni Verani, President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Verani Realty, along with John and James Buccelli, Broker / Owners of Prudential Buccelli Real Estate, are excited to announce the partnership of their two companies to offer greater service, technology and market share to the Somerville, Massachusetts marketplace.
Buying a home is a big investment, perhaps the biggest you will ever make. So it is natural to feel very nervous about the choices you are making when shopping for a home. Placing an offer may seem like a monumental decision, but in today's market you probably also fear hesitating and missing out on a great home to another buyer waiting in the wings. It makes you feel the pressure to leap and place an offer but also worry you are not thinking your decision through.
If it is time to give your floors an update this spring, you may be wondering what new selections to make that will be beautiful and make your home look up-to-date with the latest trends. In other words, what are the fresh, most popular options to consider, and what are some benefits of one product versus another.
Perhaps you have heard you can buy a home with less than 20% down payment, but you have no idea where to begin. You are not alone. Many first time buyers lack the savings that a 20% down payment requirement demands, and most of them- about 70 %- say they don’t know what other options are available to assist them.
