3 Reasons to Sell During the Holidays

Welcome back! First, I wanted to wish you a happy and safe holiday season! I also wanted to thank you for a great 2013!

You might think the holidays aren't a great time for real estate, but that's just not true. Both buyers and sellers have great opportunities now. Buyers should take advantage of the terrific interest rates.

Sellers have three reasons to put their home on the market.
1. There is less inventory. That mean less competition for you!
2. Buyers are more serious. Nobody wants to trudge through the cold if they don't have to. These buyers need to buy.
3. Homes show better. Who doesn't love seeing a home decorated and smelling wonderful for the holidays?

Take advantage of the market! If you need anything, give me a call!

Again, happy holidays!

Is Your Veterans Program Run By Veterans?

Is Your Veterans Program Run By Veterans?

I wanted to have you back today to talk more about the Veterans First Program which is for veterans, by veterans and how it's different from other competing programs. As you can see from the video, RE/MAX 1st Advantage's veterans program stands above USAA and Veterans United Home Loans. RE/MAX 1st Advantage's rebate is much larger than the others, it is veteran run (I am a veteran of the Army, my father is a World War II veteran and my son is currently fighting in Afghanistan) and we donate to Military charities on every transaction. The rebate also comes right at settlement so you don’t have to wait and our agent experience is high. We have a team of people that are military oriented who is dedicated to ensuring you receive the full rebate. This rebate is for veterans and veteran’s spouses and we pay every single time in every single state.

If you’re in the market to buy or sell a home, call me at (717) 701-8690. Thank you for your service and we look forward to working with you. Have a great day!

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day! Today I am with my father at the Army Heritage Center standing in front of a World War I tank that actually saw service in France. Serving in the military has been part of my family’s heritage; I’ve had two grandfathers that served (medical corps and explosive demolition), four uncles (two in World War II and two in Korea) and my dad is vet of the Pacific Theater of World War II during the Philippines Campaigns. My son is currently doing a tour in Afghanistan and I served for 20 years during the Cold War.

Today I just wanted to wish everyone who has served a very happy Veterans Day and for those who haven’t served, thanks for your support. I asked my father about how he feels being a World War II veteran to this day, “Well standing in front of this tank reminds me of when I was in high school and we studied World History. There was no day called Veterans Day; we were told about the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that ended the ‘War to End All Wars,’” he said. The thought of all we have done over the years in the defense of liberty and bringing justice to the world brings to tears to my father’s eyes.

For those who have served and those who are serving thank you and have a happy Veterans Day. Hopefully one day we will see the war that ends all wars.

What Can You Expect From the Market?

What Can You Expect From the Market?

Now is a great time to be a seller. Inventory is down. So far this month in the greater Harrisburg Metropolitan area, 682 homes have been listed. At the same time last year, the number was 772 homes. Fewer people are getting into the market right now, which is good news for sellers. This is one of the reasons why prices are starting to creep up (which is also a good thing).

As far as buyers go, interest rates are still below 5%, which is a historic low. Remember the 1980’s when interest rates were 18%? Those were bad times, these are great times. Our team has taken three listings within the last few days throughout the Harrisburg Metropolitan area. You can see all of our listings if you like us on our Facebook page, the Naiditch team, as well. Make sure to “Like” us!

We are all here to help at (717) 701-8690 and we hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day!

2875 Sunset Drive, Camp Hill, Open House Sunday, Sept. 29th from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Hey, guys! I’m here today at the beautiful 2875 Sunset Drive. This five bedroom and two bath ranch home has 3,600 finished sq. ft.!

The first floor is exclusively wood floors with plenty of space. As you can see we have a two-sided fireplace. One side faces a relaxed living room, while the other side is more formal. You could even make it into a dining room!

The basement is just as gorgeous. The 1,600 finished area has a full sized kitchen and two bedrooms! You could make it your ultimate man cave or maybe rent it out as an apartment.

Now, the home was built in the 1960s and has some minor upgrades needed, but I assure you nothing that is worth passing this home up! It’s priced at $259,900 and you couldn’t ask for a better deal!

Come see it for yourself this Sunday at our open house from 1pm to 3pm! If you have any questions, please give me a call!

Pennsylvania Real Estate Market Update September 2013

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to my video real estate blog!

Fall is here and with less than a third of the year left, now is a great time to get involved with the real estate market.

Prices are starting to go up, which is great news for sellers. Interest rates have increased slightly over the past few weeks, but they are still historically low. I remember when rates were as high as 18 percent! Let’s hope we never have that again!

Inventory is low because of the time of year and because of our large buyer’s pool. So, if you are thinking about selling, NOW is the time!

Give me a call! Everyone on my team would love to help! I’ve been in the real estate business for 16 years and The Sentinel just named me the #1 realtor on the West Shore. The ‘Central PA Business Journal’ named me one of the top agents in the state and #2 in the entire Harrisburg metro area!

We can help you!
