With Brexit still fresh on minds here and abroad—and the sometimes hot/sometimes slow summer selling season well underway—some Henderson sellers might well be questioning whether foreign buyer influence will remain strong throughout the nation this season. Last month’s numbers provide an answer that’s less ambiguous than usual. The answer is definitely “yes”! The latest national [...]
One way or another, it’s all connected. Last week ended with what some observers justifiably called a “shocking” development—one that could impact Henderson’s home buyers and sellers measurably—at least in the short run. It came with the release of the employment statistics from the Department of Labor. They weren’t good numbers. But the surprisingly weak [...]
The debate continues about whether open houses are effective for marketing Henderson homes. Yes, sales do still originate from them, but the percentages have been declining since social media and online listings changed the way Henderson prospects look for their next home. Whether an open house is likely to garner qualified traffic is a decision [...]
While reading a real estate magazine article about “the pros and cons of buying during the peak selling season,” I was fairly certain (as you probably would be) that, one way or another, the cons wouldn’t outweigh the pros. The Henderson’s peak selling season is certainly prime time whenever there are homes for sale, [...]
Much of the financial press has been sounding a recurrent theme for a while: the complaint that the interest rate slump has left growth-oriented investors with few choices other than a Wall Street gamble. Henderson investors may find that some degree of risk is tolerable when you have a lifetime of earning ahead of you, [...]
When we are keeping tabs on the Henderson’s real estate scene, it’s only natural to go directly to the portion of the market we are most connected to. If we are a renter or investor, our eye is drawn to trends affecting that segment. Henderson home sellers (or potential home sellers) can be counted on [...]
The headlines last week had a familiar look to them, but in terms of what they actually signified for readers who might be potential home buyers or sellers in Henderson, they really should have triggered a snap-to moment: “Mortgage Rates Fall to New 2016 Lows,” was the Star Tribune’s headline. Yahoo Finance echoed that, adding, [...]
They’re called “swings” or “bridges”—but they don’t belong on a kindergarten playground. They’re the specialized loans that can help Henderson home buyers get past the kind of cash crunch that can snag an otherwise perfectly achievable purchase. This is a timing situation that happens quite frequently; it’s in the nature of residential real estate transactions. [...]
There are Top 10 Lists aplenty that detail just why any Henderson homeowner should think twice before planting one of those For Sale by Owner signs in their front yard. One of them is that when you sell your home all by yourself, the sheer amount of time you’ll have to devote to mastering processes [...]
Something is being offered that is actually for free. No, really. It is truly the case that lately some banks and credit card companies have been including a new benefit for their Henderson clients: free access to their current FICO credit score. This isn’t the same thing as the ads we’ve been deluged with for [...]
It’s small wonder that with this spring’s selling season underway, our Henderson’s house hunters can afford to be a discriminating bunch—they have the luxury of picking and choosing from a crop of truly inviting offerings. And it doesn’t hurt that today’s low mortgage interest rates have enabled more Henderson properties to fit within more family [...]
It looked like another chuckle-worthy April Fool’s Day dispatch: CNBC’s webcast “Is NYC luxury real estate about to go bust?” It was barely 7 in the morning on April 1—but only the most bleary-eyed Henderson web watchers were likely to have been caught off-guard. Pranksters had already made mincemeat of the credibility Friday news dispatches [...]
