Unique Features in a home can make a difference. Dress up that nook or cut out in the hallway, maybe turn it in to a built in desk or another closet with some additional organizers or shelves. Create something that makes sense and most of all is functional. Something anyone could make sense of, check out some of these videos to get some ideas. Create something that will make someone who views your home remember it by. Make it unique, practical, and functional.

Here are a few key steps and thoughts to finding the right home.

• Call Alex Reedy 717-538-3910
• Get Pre-approved from a local bank- I recommend finding out your max number allowed to borrow. Then once you know, work backwards from that to suit your budget, be conservative. Be sure to ask about utility costs, taxes and insurance.
• Identify your needs, schools, kids, sidewalks, homeowners associations, maintenance free, old home, new home, etc. Think long about this, how long will you stay there, are you very active, do you travel, do you have the TIME?
• Make an offer

Is that easy enough?

Last year was an interesting year for new construction, with a down market and low demand, those of us in new developments all felt it. Although we have felt increased traffic and sales in our new developments, it’s still a mystery of what the future holds. It’ll be interesting to see what the builders in Lancaster Pa build this year and how extravagant or not they’ll be.  Or who may not build at all, let’s face it, some of the competition will not be in the running this year, or in business. I always look forward to the parade of homes, just to see what everyone is involved in and of course to get a glimpse of a few homes. The other factor that will change the pace of this years Parade, is the new building code. To my knowledge it’s not passed yet, but could increase overall costs and raise the standard for new builds in Pa. We have already been notifed that with the changes about to occur, costs will be rising for any new inventory.
