Our new logo was designed by Jennifer Adler of Survival by Design.

Jenn and Hank worked together in the Communications Department at United Way of Rhode Island.  Hank left UWRI in 2008, but has continued to work with Jenn on a number of design projects, including several for Enel Green Power North America, a division of Italy’s Enel Green Power, where he was head of external relations and communications.

She’s very talented and creative with experience in a number of areas. (Jenn also has a cool line of greeting cards that are not your typical Hallmark store variety.)

Please check out her work at www.survivalbydesign.net.

We highly recommend her.

Whether you are thinking of selling your house or buying a home, today’s real estate headlines can be confusing – perhaps even concerning. What is actually happening with mortgage rates? Are home values dropping or are they just rising at a slower pace? What impact will the economy have on the housing market?

According to industry resource KCM, if you are a buyer or seller (or both), you need to know what it will mean to your family if you go ahead with the move. You need to understand three things:

1. What is happening in the housing market right now?

You must get past those fear-mongering headlines and gain a deep understanding of what is truly happening. How strong is buyer demand right now? How much competition do listings have today compared to what they will have in the spring? People want to make an educated decision on what is probably their family’s greatest financial asset.

2. Why is it happening?

Understanding the individual pieces that impact the sale or purchase of real estate is important. Understanding how those pieces impact each other is critical. How does the amount of a down payment impact the mortgage rate you will be offered? Can you still price your house a ‘little ahead’ of the market and still be sure it will sell?

3. How do the first two affect your local market?

Basically, you want an understanding of the overall housing market and a simple and effective explanation of how it will impact your personal real estate goals.

The best way to get answers to all three is to contact knowledgeable real estate professionals in your area (like Mari Sennott and Associates!) who understand the shifting real estate market and can expertly guide you on the journey to reach your housing goals.

We’re here to help…

Enjoy your week
