A number of “Smart House” products made headway in 2016, so before the crystal ball gets hauled up over Times Square, this is an appropriate moment to review which ones promised relevant real estate applications. Anyone who will be house hunting or selling in Henderson anytime soon might want to become familiar with some of [...]
If, as the saying goes, “”no news is good news,” last week was almost a good week for U.S. real estate. Henderson real estate watchers like me found no hint of the kind of sweeping changes that can alter residential real estate patterns for buyers and sellers. Possibly because of the looming election, little space [...]
Conscientious Henderson homeowners keep on top of all the regular maintenance items pretty much automatically. Once you have lived in a place for more than a year or two, you know what you should be keeping an eye on. You have a handle on when major fixes and updates have to be addressed. When you [...]
When you go in for your annual physical, you’re hoping for a sunny prognosis. Realtor® magazine isn’t a medical journal, but it does have a feature called “Market Pulse.” It reports on the patient’s vital signs (if you imagine the patient being the nation’s housing market). The state of the national patient can be relevant [...]
Whenever a month’s Henderson real estate activity ends on a Friday, the number-gatherers close up shop knowing there will be a longer than usual lapse until they can be sure of the Henderson real estate activity statistics. That creates a breather for those of us who keep abreast of Texas and Henderson real estate. It’s [...]
It was fairly clear that the table had been set for last week’s Federal Reserve meeting to result in a minimal rise in mortgage interest rates. Their Fed Funds rate directly influences the mortgage interest rates that banks observe. Since Henderson real estate activity can be spurred or dampened by the monthly payment amounts Henderson [...]
If you try to predict what Henderson real estate activity is likely to be based on only our local activity, you soon find what causes statisticians to turn up their noses: the sample size is simply too small to project reliable trends. That’s why serious Henderson observers look to the incoming real estate activity stats [...]
Marketers for any Henderson business want to know as much as possible about their “customer base”—the population of potential buyers who might be attracted to their product. If you are in the process of selling your Henderson home, the speed at which you succeed and the amount of profit that results will greatly depend on [...]
When last week’s surprising news (on the plus side) about consumer confidence was announced, it was one more sign Henderson homeowners might have felt nudging them in the direction of putting their home on the market. U.S. confidence rose to an 11-month high in August—a turnaround from consumer blahs that had ruled during the first [...]
Henderson’s week starts off with a celestial milestone. Our grade school teachers told us to call this point in the calendar a “solstice.” There are two each year, and this is the summer one. If there had been one of those models of the solar system in the room, the teacher would [...]
A mega-proportion of serious Henderson house hunters ultimately decide it makes the most sense to team up with a real estate professional to get the job done. Henderson buyers may begin the process of finding and buying their next home on their own, checking through the online listings or driving target neighborhoods to check out [...]
Those of us who keep abreast of where our Henderson’s home loan interest rates are likely to head haven’t had much to keep track of lately. By the end of last week, that was beginning to change. Ever since the Federal Reserve’s single boost in their Fed Funds rate by a quarter of a percent [...]
