"SUMMER" BUYING
Traditionally in real estate things slow down for the summer especially around the holidays but this year things are different. There are several explinations for this, one of the is weather. We as human beings are completely affected by weather. This unseasonably cold and wet "summer" changes our focus from usual summer activities and puts us more into the spring/fall mental timeframe. Add to that mix the fact that many foreclosures and short sales are coming through on wide range of homes and you have a recipe for deals and as George and Weezie used to sing, "Movin' on up!" Deals like the ones I'm seeing are some of the best deals I have ever seen! This is the time that most investors dream about. If you are about to enter into that world remember that the number one rule in real estate is still location, location, location!

A Very Cool Buyer Program...
I came across a program that I am thrilled about because it's going to help a lot of people...maybe even you and your family!!! YAY!
Yes, it's true! The economy's shifting is creating fantastic oportunities for those who are lucky enough to find this information! This wonderful program gives discounts to people who buy homes in Worcester. What kind of discounts? Well, they offer discounts on most aspects of home buying including mortgage programs from local lending and financial institutions, in some cases, at rates between ½ and ¼ point below market rates with no or low down payments, lower or no mortgage insurance payments, employer mortgage assistance, and rewards from local retailers on the purchase of homeowner essentials.
OK, now, before you pooh-pooh Worcester, do yourself a favor. Go online and actually check out a few areas in Worcester. You know how cool college towns can be. If you have not visited Worcester in a while you should. It is a very magical place!
Did you know that Worcester is NEW ENGLAND's second largest city? It is a FIVE-TIME recipient of the All-American City Award. It combines the warmth of a small town with the conveniences of a thriving metropolis. You get affordable housing, quality public education, accessible transportation, trendy restaurants, cool shops, and exciting nightlife (for those who have time for that sort of thing ;).
But wait, there's more...."A manufacturing and innovation giant for more than 200 years, Worcester’s landscape blends impressive mills and diverse architecture with community-oriented neighborhoods, inviting green spaces, renowned colleges and unique cultural institutions. The City boasts one of the finest urban school systems in NewEngland and is rated one of the safest communities inthe country (with population of 100,000 or more). An admirable mix of old and new, Worcester is defined by eclectic neighborhoods with a range of housing stock - from historic, turn of the century homes to modern urban lofts.
Worcester’s Neighborhoods!
Lucky buyers can learn more about all of these by visiting www.buyworcesternow.com. It is rare to find such good incentive programs so at least checking it out would really be a good idea. Who knows maybe you will find exactly what you want and thought you could not have! ENJOY THE JOURNEY!

PUT "FUN" BACK INTO HOME BUYING...Here Are The Simple Steps
For many, the home buying process can be so confusing that even running the Boston Marathon -and winning - would seem like a simpler task! In reality buying a home (yes, even in this market) is a simply a serious of steps that get you to where you want to be. Whether someone is new or has bought before, it is always a good idea to get a good outline of the process. For years I looked for something I could share with my clients to no avail so in my "spare time" I decide to create something fun for the world, something that breaks down the steps of home buying into fun, bite-size pieces. I even added cartoon-like figures and (hopefully) some humor.
Let me know what you think of it. I'm always open to suggestions. I present to you the funny way to buy your next home...http://www.brickhouserealty.com/html/gameboard.html! ENJOY!
Big hugs,
