Spring is HERE! This means that it's time for one of the season's classic events: spring cleaning! If you're anything like me, you relish any opportunity to clear out all of the clutter and grime that builds up inside during the winter months. Everyone does the obvious things like washing the floors and wiping off the tables, but there are lots of inconspicuous places in your home that can easily go overlooked. In this post, you can see which areas need a little more attention in order to ensure a thorough deep clean this spring!

If you are lucky enough to have an all-cash home purchase then you will not have to worry about mortgage rates. However, a large portion of the country are subject to these rates which are thankfully trending downwards. This is also coinciding with an increase of inventory that is being boosted by the arrival of Spring. This week marks a four-week decline in rates which corresponds with an influx of buyers entering the market.

If there's one thing that can doom any listing instantly, it's poor photos of the home. When searching for anything online, the first thing we all look at is the photo. No one would buy a shirt or a bag online if it looks ugly in the pictures, so why would a home be any different? Luckily, there are some simple photography tricks that can take the appeal of any home up a notch without major renovations! It is especially important because of a market with relatively quick transactions. Often people are searching for homes via the computer and it is essential that your on-line prescence really knocks it out of the park.
