Confidence in Real Estate Market Up

Confidence in our local real estate market is up due to several factors according to Linda Rotti, Sales Manager of our Amherst office. With interest rates at all time lows, signs of an improving economy and an unseasonably warm winter, we are seeing more interest from potential buyers; more property showings, and a marked increase in website activity.

Preparing Your Home to Sell in 2012

As the year winds down we all begin to make plans for the coming year. Some of those may include making a move, either to a new part of the country, or just to another part of town.  Your first step should be to contact one of our Jones Group REALTORS® for advice.  Perhaps your home is move-in ready for that perfect buyer, or maybe you would prefer to just sell it “as-is.”  If your home is a little dated, or has had its share of “living,” some de-cluttering and a little paint will go a long way.  Read advice from The Massachusetts Association REALTORS®.

Do Property Assessments Affect the Value of Your Home?

Jones Group REALTOR® and author of Challenge Your Taxes (Wiley 1998), Jim Lumley was recently quoted in a Greenfield Recorder article. “Property taxes are more a function of how much money a community, municipality/and/or county need to operate.  As state and federal dollars previously spent for local needs shrink, communities must often make up the difference with property taxes.”

 You may take several steps to ensure that your home assessment is accurate.

     1.  Visit your town website and examine information about your property.

     2.  Evaluate your neighborhood. How does your home compare to your neighbors'?

     3.  Contact a Jones Group REALTOR® about current values, market trends or request a professional market analysis of your property. 

 To learn more about your current home value contact Jones Group REALTORS® in our Amherst, Northampton and Belchertown offices.  Read more information from the Greenfield Recorder article.
