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, [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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.

A couple of recent developments made the news recently that promised to impact our Henderson’s real estate scene either now or in the future. The one that got most of the attention last Wednesday came from a familiar source: Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. Her news conference’s less-than-stirring pronouncement (“Caution is appropriate”) made headlines nonetheless [...]
It might sound shocking, but our Henderson’s homeowners—present and future—have DTIs! Although the press has been largely silent, it’s important that the public is fully educated on the subject. But before anyone calls an emergency meeting to see what can be done… The good news is that, despite how dire it may sound, having DTIs [...]
This spring’s Henderson housing market continues to reflect most of the trends that have held sway in much of the nation. There is good news, not-so-good news, and (happy to report) no really bad news at all. In fact, it’s the absence of threatening factors that make our housing market a welcoming one for those [...]
You wouldn’t think that real estate technology could be as addictive as one of those games like Candy Crush or Angry Birds—but don’t tell that to Money magazine. They researched the subject in depth, and they found that two-thirds of recent home buyers said they were addicted to online listings! Come to think of it, [...]
When you are skimming through the Henderson listings, now and then you come across attention-grabbing terms like “one of a kind” or “extremely motivated seller.” “Reduced” is another one. After all, who doesn’t like a bargain? Especially when that bargain is associated with a major commitment, who wouldn’t think it’s worth looking into? Today’s listings [...]
Home automation is going mainstream. There: I said it. We all knew it would happen, but some of us hoped it would happen later. The prospect of our house being smarter than we are has been out there since as far back as when the first Terminator movie hit VHS (or was it Beta? Or [...]
