FACEBOOK ANYONE ?

How many people have a Facebook or should I ask how many people don't?  Facebook has been very good to me.  I have reconnected with some of my old friends from school, which has been a lot of fun to see where their lives have taken them.  It is definitely a way to feel connected to people on a regular basis, without feeling like you are intruding into their life.  They post what they want you to know and it takes off from there into some interesting places !

It is nice that you can select who you want to be "friends" with and share only what you want to share with others.  Overall, it is fun to have.  Now in saying that, you can have too much fun if you get addicted to the games they have like Farmville and Cafe World.  I use to plan my whole day around when my "Farmville" crops were going to be ready to harvest.  Ain't that a hoot !  Luckily that only lasted for a few months and then I wised up and quit playing, cold turkey.  My farmhouse and crops have probably turned to dust and tumbleweeds by now... I don't dare go and check.

I just made a Facebook page for my business, I have not put anything on it yet.  Hopefully it will be a fun and informative place for my clients to check out.  We will see how that develops.  Happy Facebooking !

Is Spring A Good Time To Sell My Home? When Is A Good Time To Sell My House?

Many people wonder if spring is a good time to sell their house?  Spring time sounds like a great time to sell your home because the clouds have lifted, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming and the trees are full of leaves.  The place looks great.  And now that most people have recovered from the holidays, the hope is that the fresh air and breeze with blow a buyer in to their yard.  Well, this could very well happen -- but there are advantages in putting your home on the market before spring arrives.

There is usually influx of houses coming on the market in March & April each year.  Putting your home on the market before spring and even during the winter months can give you a better chance of getting an offer.  There is less competition at that time of the year and a lot of buyers who are out looking during the winter months are very serious buyers... not just out for decorating ideas!

So, those of you who are still on the fence and are waiting for the flowers to bloom to list your house, maybe you might want to spring into action now before the competition arrives.
