Have you ever liked a home but not the address? I've had this situation come up with several clients in the past. Sometimes people have superstitions about certain numbers and the numbers in their street address can actually prevent a client from buying a home. Some people avoid the number 13 or gravitate toward any multiple of seven. I never thought there was much I could do about the address issue until today.

A quick call to our county Planning and Zoning Department was all it took. I found that you can indeed, within certain guidelines, change the numerical address of your home. All it takes is an application and a $135 application fee. A quick review by department personnel will let you know what alternative house numbers are available.

Now that's a new twist to the phrase, "Change of Address"!

The time is right to buy luxury! If you are a luxury home buyer with a good credit score and the right down payment, now is the time to buy. The market has never been more favorable for the luxury home buyer.

Interest rates are at historic lows, even jumbo loan rates. We have larger than normal inventory of luxury homes, giving the buyer more choices than ever before. Luxury homes are being offered for sale at fantastic list prices, lower than I've ever seen. There are few competing buyers right now allowing for healthy negotiations. Many banks are again offering jumbo loan programs.

It is also a great time to be a "move-up" buyer, selling your mid-range home and moving into your upper tier dream home. The opportunities for the luxury home buyer are better than I've ever seen them.

You can search for Rochester luxury homes at Rochester Luxury Home Search. The Marris' also have a list of luxury homes being offered via private sale. For more information, contact Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) Lois Marris at 507-398-3251 or LoisMarris@EdinaRealty.com.
