Important Things to Consider When Purchasing a Home

DIANE & BOB ARENHOLZ: Real Estate Agent in Yorktown Heights, NY

When purchasing a home there are important things to consider such as how much you need you monthly payments to be per month, and your commute to work for example. It is also important to consider the features and amenities that effect resale as well. Here are some important factors that affect resale values:

  • Location - homes that are close to major highways or train stations tend to have a better resale value as make for a convenient commute. Homes located on major roads (double yellow line) however may not be appealing to families with children. These are important factors t consider when purchasing a home
  • School District - even if you don't have children, purchasing a home in an area with a reputable school district will help with resale
  • Property - level lots and nice backyards help make a property more marketable. Backyards that are somewhat private are qualities that buyers are often looking for!
  • Taxes - Homes with extremely high taxes compared to similar homes in the same area can turn off potential buyers.

Your agent can provide you with comparables so that you can compare the home you want to buy with other homes within the area to ensure that if or when if comes time to move, you home is marketable and will allow for the maximum resale value!

Change is on you!

Jennifer Maher: Real Estate Agent in Carmel, NY

"Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Greetings friends and associates, as I write to you it is the morning after Election Day. I want to congratulate all the Candidates that were elected into office. Of course Election Day always gets my wheels turning. I am sure it does the same for you. This year there is a lot of frustration out there but, people are too overwhelmed with daily life to feel they can do anything to make a difference.
If you weren't aware, The Greater Mahopac/ Carmel Chamber of Commerce has a Government Liaison/Economic Development Committee. If you would like to see the business communities have more say in local issues such as taxes, Business improvement districts, Planning and Development etc...Please join that committee and become a champion for local business advocacy. The time has come to pay attention to our local government that has been functioning with very little input from the business community as a whole. Together we can effect change but it takes awareness, diligence and influence in order to be successful and This Chamber is the best resource we have to do so.
We are very blessed to have people in office who ARE willing to work with us, but we need to ban together, get a pulse on the real needs of the business community and effectively communicate that information to those in office.
The Chamber also has a grant writing committee. This is another area we could use some collective effort. Wouldn't it be great to uncover some funds to assist the business owners (you) in these times of change? I remind you this is a mainly volunteer organization. We have Eileen and Pete to keep our house in order; however this entity solely relies on volunteer effort for growth. So call the Chamber office today,( 845-628-5553 845-628-5553) let's put a plan into action to create positive change with precise vision and input from your business community!

Yours in victory and well being,

Jennifer Maher

P.S. Where is your "locus of control"? A lot of people have asked me what that meant. I encourage you to Google it, Good stuff!
