By Vicki Aubry, Realtor, ABR, SRES, Prudential Prime Properties I know you can's tell by the weather outside, but SPRING MARKET is here!

Buyers come out in droves, now I just need sellers!

By Steve Levine, President of Steve Levine Inc., and an agent for REMAX Prestige Well, the spring market appears to have started early this year, and even a few feet of snow from Nemo hasn's stopped the buyers that are out there ready to go. Combining that with unheard of inventory shortages, and this is resulting in a wild scene, with multiple over full price bids being tossed around, just as though it were the peak of the market.

What a real estate expert can Do For You

Elaine Quigley, Realtor, CBR, CRS, GRI, Prudential Prime Properties Decades ago, you had to go to a real estate agent in order to get information on property listings. Huge books filled with all the local real estate listings were distributed to real estate offices. The agents would review the books and find homes that matched their clients' needs. Then the address was given to the clients so they could do a "drive by" to see, at least, the outside of the home. This information was not readily available to the public.

The budget process and determining your condo fee

By Vicki Aubry, Realtor, ABR, SRES, Prudential Prime Properties The condominium budget is planned annually to cover both operational expenses and payment to a reserve fund for future capital projects. Generally, the trustees and the property manager get together a few months before the fiscal year starts with the current year's expenses and needs for the future. Think of the condo fee as going into a non-profit organization. Should there ever be too much money in reserve, the trustees may elect to reduce the condo fee or return some of it to the unit owners. Healthy reserves are good for both unit owners, as well as the condominium overall.
