It's finally looking like Summer may coming to Southwest Washington State for a visit.Temperatures are climbing.The rain is drifting away to the North and East, and sunshine greets us this morning, setting a great tone for the weekend.
Better weather and with school out for the children, it could just be a perfect weekend to begin looking for that house you've been longing for...FINALLY! Or perhaps, you're going to complete a couple of long delayed projects to get your house ready to sell. Good weather and dry weekends in the Pacific NW tend to turn our thoughts to such things, and especially knowing that the cooler weather of Fall will soon be upon us.
Our encouragement to add into the mix is this...
Whatever your objectives may be with regard to Real Estate - Buying a house, Selling a house, making an investment or two in property - Be certain to do your Real Estate...ON PURPOSE!
Just a bit of common sense planning before you begin will put you miles ahead of the game as your projects unfold. For example: How will you decide which projects will best "PAY" you and which will only COST you? Which investment properties will yield the strongest returns for each dollar you invest? Where within the community will you find the best combination of schools, commute, pleasant neighborhood settings, and quality construction in that home you're looking for?
Make some notes, talk together with family and friends, and be sure to include your professional advisors in your planning. What will the tax impact of your decisions be? Your CPA or tax person will know. What does it cost to redo the master bath? Your contractor will definitely be able to help with the numbers. How long will it take and what will I be able to sell my house for? Your real estate pro can help here.
Pick up the phone, get some good information, and talk with family and friends. Put your plans together and then GET OUT INTO THAT SUNSHINE!
