Should I rent or should I buy?

Many people are wondering these days. There is much to consider in home ownership. There are closing costs and down payment and even after you purchase a home there is home maintenance costs. Taking a hard look at the whole picture to make sure the benefits out way the costs requires a plan. I love how the Internet now gives us the resources to figure some of the answers to the questions out. To learn more where to find these tools visit my blog at http://www.NannetteSaunders.com .

Snow in Central Virginia

It doesn't happen often. And for some it does not happen often enough. As for me I'd be happy if it never happened because I don't particularly like it, unless I had planned on staying home for the day. Because that is about as long as it lasts at the most.

Today we got some snow. They are calling for six to ten inches. I can't remember when we have gotten this much snow. Yes, I can it was in the middle 90's, ten or twelve years ago. So I guess we are due.

When folks relocate to this area they always ask about our winters and they usually are pleasantly surprised that they are generally mind. On the average we may get about six inches of snow between December and March.

We tend to have the schools close every time it snows because our taxes remain low because we don't have the snow equipment like you may see in more northern states. In addition, you can count on folks making a mad rush to the grocery store when there is a hint of snow to stock up. I'm not quite sure why because by the next day it is melted.

I think the most concern should be because folks are not so use to driving in the snow, it has been my experience that it can be very dangerous. Not the snow as much as the drivers on the road. So be careful out there and enjoy the snow while it lasts.

Foreclosures at Smith Mountain Lake

Many homes at Smith Mountain Lake are primary residences but many are vacation and second homes. The President's plan is structured to only help those struggling with the payments on their primary homes.

Homes at Smith Mountain Lake are no exception. It is unforturnate for the current homeowners as they watch their property values decrease. However, it is a great opportunity for anyone who ever dreamed of owning a home at the lake.

Central Virginia Is Packed With Some Great History

I have worked with tons of folks relocating to Lynchburg, Campbell County and Bedford County since 2003. As we Campbell Countydrive around looking at homes and enjoying the countryside I usually end up giving a little history lesson on Central Virginia. I have lived here since 1988 and you would think from the stories that I can tell that I knew the founding father, John Lynch, himself! I am in love with this area and passionate about it's history and its future.

There is much to discover and explore. The people of this community are very proud of the history.

Should I finish the basement?

Recently I had a homeowner ask me if finishing the basement and adding square footage to their home would increase the value of their home.  I loved their forward thinking.  Durning a time when folks are losing value in their homes this homeowner is trying to figure out what he can do to counter that problem.  With a little investment he could make a difference.  Please take the time and watch the video.
