	Home Builders Association of Greater Savannah’s Parade of Homes is April 12-14 The 2013 “Parade of Homes” will take place April 12-14 and features 49 homes constructed by 17 builders in Chatham, Effingham and Bryan counties.

	Spring Housing Market Update Typically, the spring season kicks off a home buying frenzy. If the steady upswing the housing market experienced in 2012 is any indication, 2013 should be a busy year for residential home sales.

	Realtor Spotlight: Meet Craig Michael Beck of Neighborhood Realty Property Management - 100%. Transactional sales and managing property are two separate worlds, requiring different skill sets. I work with owners who find themselves facing negative returns or those required by their employer to move who do not wish to sell. I also work with buyers, often previous tenants, looking to get out of the rental market.

	Home Builders Association Presents 2013 Parade of Homes The Home Builders Association of Greater Savannah is proud to present the 2013 Tri-County Parade of Homes. The “Parade of Homes” is a Home Builders tradition dating back to 1958. This year’s Parade will feature 49 homes built by 17 of the finest builders in Chatham, Effingham and Bryan County.

	Outdoor Living There are many reasons why people move to and live in the Savannah area. On top of that list is the warmer and more conducive outdoor living weather we experience here practically year round. When working with buyers we always discuss the extra living space which you can have, commonly know as the outdoors. There are many ways and locations to enjoy the great outdoors; one of the best places to do so, is at your home. It just feels good to enjoy outdoor living by relaxing in your home and surroundings. Outdoor living can create a sense of peace, freedom with a garnish of relaxation.

	Decisions, Decisions. Picking One Home Over Another Recently a buyer we were working with had to make a decision on one home versus another to make an offer on and ultimately purchase. In this case both the wife and husband liked both of the homes and specific things about each equally. While sitting down with them we began to rationally determine which house would be best suited for them, factoring in their current financial situation and family demands.

	Exit Strategy When we are working with a homebuyer whether they are young or old, their first home or their last, we always talk about having an exit strategy, as someone at some point in time will have to list the home and sell it. The most important criteria initially for you as the buyer are that the home and property suits your current needs and intended use.

	Moving Mom…the Next Step Choosing the Right Active Community We are living longer, staying healthier and enjoying life to the fullest. Many seniors are “still in the game” with active lifestyles, and choosing the right community for your retirement home means finding the right fit.

	Moving Mom…the Next Step Finding the Perfect “Last” Home Whether you are looking for a vacation home that will become your retirement dream come true, or you want to downsize to simplify your life, or you have a large family that wants to visit all at the same time, there are things to consider when choosing your “last” home.

	Functional Obsolescence To further define functional obsolescence in real estate it pertains to a property or structure that does not conform to recognized utility, or features that are not desirable or practical. Some examples can be deal breakers for buyers, as most buyers have specific needs for the home which they are purchasing and these needs are relevant to today’s lifestyle.

	Showing Instructions When a home is listed and put on the market to sell one of the last and most important discussions we have with the seller is the “Showing Instructions”. The showing instructions will vary from seller to seller. The reasons they will vary depend on the current living environment of the home listed for sale. The instructions are put on the local Savannah MLS by the listing agent and for are all REALTORS to view. The communication is always done between REALTOR to REALTOR when there is a request to show a home listed by a licensed REALTOR.

	Moving Mom…the Next Step Finding the Right Second Home for Retirement The azaleas are already blooming in the south, and the snow is still flying in the north. Dreams of warmer weather and vacations homes are invading the sleep of the snowbound…and many northerners have escaped to our area to find their next, and possibly, “last” home. With the market improving, downsizing makes sense, so are you thinking about a change?

	Moving on Up. Is it Time? Over all it is a fantastic time to buy, interest rates are at a very attractive level and affordability rates are at record highs. Evaluate your personal situation and base your decision on your families’ and your ideal scenario. Now is a great time to purchase a new home under all the right circumstances. There may never be a better time in all of our lifetimes to purchase a home. I always use the term “money is cheap” and what I mean by that is the lending rates are fantastic. You can either afford more or better yet your payments might even be lower.

	DIY Home Improvement Fixes to Create a Healthier Home You might not be aware that your home may pose some hidden risks for you and your family. But you don't need a fat budget to give your home a safer and healthier boost. After all, there is nothing more important than keeping your family safe.

	Your Homes Value Buyers today have access to so much more data and information regarding historical prices and current prices. Because of this, your average buyer is more informed than years past. Technology, product and information are out there for everyone to see. This data sits on public sites that are both government and company websites. Everyone is familiar with Zillow, Triula, Yahoo and Google. They all are owned, maintained and governed by corporate structure.

	Moving Mom…the Next Step Friendship, an Elixir for the Soul During February, a month about love, I have focused on the advantages of moving on with your life and living life to the fullest. We talked about falling in love, and how putting yourself out there can allow it to happen. We addressed the unconditional love of a pet, and how that companionship is so valuable to seniors. In this article, I’m going to talk about friendship, and how easy it is to turn the page to a new exciting life.

	Home Sales Surge in 2012 at The Landings Community-Owned Marketing Firm Sees Buyers Increase by 40%

	On the Market VS In the Market: Part II Last week I started discussing the important analogy I often use “On the market versus in the market”. There is a huge and significant difference between the two. We talked about the market value of any asset and how your home’s selling price is dictated and determined by what a buyer is willing to pay for your home today in the current market environment. We all have heard the saying “what the market will bear”. And that has never been truer than in 2013.

	Moving Mom…the Next Step When Cupid’s Arrow Strikes This Valentine’s Day I wanted to share with you a special love story. There would be no story to tell if two friends had not made the choice to move to a retirement community. Who would have known that sparks could fly, when friendship seemed to be the only thing in the cards. But for Jon and Barbara Paull, it happened. This is their story…
