As we head into the holiday and winter season, I’m often asked if this is a good time of year to buy or sell a home in Andover, Boxford or North Andover Massashusetts.  Statistically it is true that we have more home sales in the spring and summer months and without a doubt there are many families with school-aged children  who choose to move during the months when school is not in session.  However, it is incorrect to assume that homes do not sell during the fall and winter months or that the home values decline during the holiday or winter seasons. There are many factors to consider when deciding when to buy or sell a home.  Changes in family circumstances, job opportunities and mortgage interest rates are just a few examples of important considerations which are not generally influenced by the season of the year.  I can help you develop a customized real estate plan specifically taylored to your individual needs and goals.  Contact me at REMAX Partners in Andover for a free introductory consultation.

As we approach one of our country’s most historic elections in our nation’s history I hope you’ll all get out and vote for the candidates of your choice.  At the heart of this election is the crisis in housing–a crisis that effects each of us in many ways. Our elected officials have enormous power to shape our economic futures and our American dream of home ownership.  What better reason to make your voice count? With that in mind I’m passing along these “Top 10 Voter Tips” published by MassVote.org! 

 For many New England natives, fall is their favorite time of year. The weather is comfortable, the fall foliage is famous for spectacular color and the fall harvest is perfect for crisp apples, fresh peaches, pumpkins and locally grown produce.

This mornings financial news is indeed disconcerting. With the bankruptcy  of Lehman Brothers, the failure of Merril Lynch and Hurricane Ike in the Gulf of Mexico it makes sense to take time to consider any major purchases carefully.  Buying or selling a home is without a doubt the largest single  financial decision most of us ever make.  This is why I believe it is even more important to have the best professional advise you can have at your finger tips.  Current real estate market conditions are extremely fluid. If you’re considering buying or selling a home in Andover, North Andover, Boxford or any of the surrounding communities here in Massachusetts, contact Paulette Zuena at REMAX Partners in Andover, for up to date real estate information and advice.

Fall can be a great time to buy or sell a home.  Historically, the fall season is often a busy time of year for home buyers and sellers in Andover and North Andover.  According to MLS records, a total of 107 single family homes were sold in Andover and North Andover during September, October and November 2007.  With the fall season upon us, it can be a great time to buy or sell a home. For more information about opportunities in today’s real estate market, contact Paulette Zuena at REMAX Partners in Andover, MA.

 School’s out for summer and all across Andover and North Andover children and adults alike are enjoying vacation and outdoor fun.  The recent flooding in the midwest and the official start of hurricane season remind us that accidents and storms can happen at any time.  Perhaps that’s why June is National Safety month!  My wish for you is to enjoy your summer and please stay safe. Consider these valuable first aid and emergency safety tips. 

Everywhere I go people ask "How’s the Andover and North Andover real estate market?"  Our homes are very important to us, not only as a financial investment but because it’s where we live, work and play. Dorothy’s famous movie line will always ring true…"there is no place like home."  I hope to use my new website and my new blog to help answer your questions about the real estate market as well as to help keep you informed about news and events in our community.   Whether you live in Andover, North Andover, Methuen, Haverhill, Boxford, Lawrence or Tewksbury, I think you’ll agree, the Merrimack Valley is a great place to live!  I’m excited about my new blog and look forward to staying in touch often!
