February Sales up 33% Prices Still Off

Randy Tibbetts — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:32:10 +0000

Massachusetts February 2012 sales are up 33% compared to February 2011 according to The Warren Group. Single family homes sold in the Bay State rose but the average price fell 3% for the same time period. Condominium sales rose 18% while the average sales price rose nearly 5%. This is statewide date of course where some areas are having a more difficult time and others seem to be on a path to recovery. Recently the Boston Globe reported a list of neighborhoods and towns whose median price homes we’re actually higher than in 2005 which most people consider the height of the market. Many of the coveted suburbs are doing very well with the spring market starting early this year. I am seeing one out of five listings under agreement in many of these sought after towns compared to one out of ten at the same time last year.

Comparing a single month from one year to another is a very small amount of data when you are trying to get an idea of where the real estate market is heading but it is a positive sign.

The Warren Group is a firm that tracks real estate data throughout New England.

Kitchen Renovation Trends

Randy Tibbetts — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:40:27 +0000

Kitchen renovations rank among the most popular home improvements. One reason: Kitchen upgrades provide an excellent return on the investment, 70-90%, even in a down economy. This is true but the major reason is that most people remodel their kitchen because it is the most important room in the house. If the average house we’re a ship the kitchen would be the bridge. The heart of the ship where everything that runs the ship takes place.

Granite and stainless steel were the hot trends in the 90′s. That trend is still hanging on with many owners opting for stainless appliances but are incorporating warmer tones with tile, cabinets and counter tops. Stone countertops are still popular of course, but homeowners are installing more synthetic or engineered stone countertops and seeing renewed interest in solid surfaces like Corian.

Color is hot right now but color trends are tricky to navigate and you should alwayd keep in mind that strong colors can put off potential buyers and you should avoid designs that are too personal or too lavash. Kitchen remodeling is a great way to improve your home life but when making design choices always remember you may be selling this home some day.

Exceptional Photos are Essential

Randy Tibbetts — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 23:45:37 +0000

With over 90% of potential home buyers conducting their “window shopping” online it has never been more important to portray your home for sale with quality photographs. A recent Realtor survey conducted found that buyers consider the property photographs the, “Most Important” when deciding to schedule a showing. Getting a potential buyer to click on you listing is paramount and homes with professional quality photos absolutely get more clicks. More clicks results in more interest and demand and increases offer prices. Contact me about how I would photograph your home and market it to be seen, stand out and sell.

Contemporary Dining Room

Randy Tibbetts — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:25:47 +0000

More people are opting for a more modern interior design even in traditional New England colonial homes. The hallmark of modern design is its clean, straight lines with a minimalist look. Furnishings typically use metal, glass and rich wood tones and is considered part of its design element. This dining room design is a perfect example.

[T]he all white chairs with satin metal legs have great lines and the metal ties in with the dining table. The designer has used a small splash of color which really makes a splash surrounded by the whites and browns. And of course who doesn’t love a shag carpet!

The creation of the modern interior design style is credited to the group of European designers and architects that started the Bauhaus School of Design in Germany in 1919. The Bauhaus philosophy is that form should combine with function in all interior designs.

What is Green Home Building?

Randy Tibbetts — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:08:30 +0000

Green building which is also known as green construction or sustainable building is construction of a environmentally responsible and resource-efficient home. This requires close cooperation of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.

Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective is that green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:

1. Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources

2. Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity

3. Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation

Green building brings together a vast array of practices and techniques to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health. It often emphasizes taking advantage of renewable resources, e.g., using sunlight through passive solar, active solar, and photovoltaic techniques and using plants and trees through green roofs, rain gardens, and for reduction of rainwater run-off. Many other techniques, such as using packed gravel or permeable concrete instead of conventional concrete or asphalt to enhance replenishment of ground water, are used as well.

Other related topics include sustainable design and green architecture. Sustainability may be defined as meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Green building does not specifically address the issue of the retrofitting existing homes.

Not the typical Before and After

Randy Tibbetts — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:41:02 +0000

The home on Bubier Road in Marblehead MA as it looked yesterday and the previous 16 years.

It was demolished this morning after a judge ruled it violated local zoning regulations. The dispute between the property owner and his neighbors had been ongoing for 16 years. The neighbors contested the home that was built was done illegally after subdivision the adjoining lot and the home blocked their views and sunlight.

The house was leveled by an excavator and took about an hour to flatten the home which is reported to have cost $800,000 to build. The owner says he plans to rebuild on the property.

After:

Marbleheadhead MA home ordered torn down

Randy Tibbetts — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:24:19 +0000

A recent court order for a Marblehead MA home to be torn down is a lesson to always make sure you are within guidelines when building a new home. This particular owner subdivided a lot and seemingly got permission from the local zoning board to build. The story from there is a bit fuzzy as to who made a mistake. Either the zoning board was incorrect in approving the plan or the owner went outside the parameters of the plan. Regardless after 15 years of legal expenses by his disgruntled neighbors the home estimated to have cost $800,000 was torn down this morning.
