Accentuate the positive...

Love the home you have...

With home sales down overall for the entire year it is much harder in this market to "move up" Gone are the days of posting a for sale sign in the yard and wait for the offers to come pouring in.

Lending has become more stringent, more inventory, decreasing selling prices it is a tough time to try and sell your home.

Thinking of "moving up"? my suggestion is love the home your with, there are many improvements you can make to transform your current home into something that you may be looking for in the next home purchase.

Finish the basement, add square footage a bonus room is a definite positive. Turn your bathroom into a spa get away, update your kitchen counters appliances and cabinets. New flooring or trim are always a nice update.

Really what I am saying is sometimes it is ok and a good idea to be happy with what you have, accentuate the positive.

Enjoy your days!
