Looking for a great way to kick off your Labor Day Weekend?

How are you planning to relax and enjoy your holiday weekend? I hear the weather is going to be perfect, so I will be outdoors bike riding at Wompatuck State Park in Hingham. Heavily wooded Wompatuck has a large system of paved bike trails covering a network of abandoned railroad which can be enjoyed by riders of all abilities. The land was once used as an ammunition depot during World War ll.  Many features from this period remain visible, though most of it has become overgrown with trees.  I hear there is also an old rail spur which has recently been converted to a bike path, linking Wompatuck to the Cohasset Commuter Rail Station. I have not found this path yet, but, maybe I will explore this weekend!

Wompatuck State Park, Hingham MA

Not up for a bike ride? Join me at the Braintree Farmers Market Clam & Lobster Feast! This Saturday, September 1, in conjunction with the Farmers' Market at the Braintree Town Hall; you can enjoy a freshly prepared New England Clam & Lobster Feast with veggies from the Market farmers. All items are a-la-carte and include little necks, steamers and stuffed quahogs.  Also being served will be clam chowder, lobster bisque & lobster rolls. Tables and chairs will be provided under the Events Tent.

What is THE #1 most recommended do-it-yourself home improvement project?

The other day I posed a question to my Facebook friends asking what the top do-it-yourself home improvements project is with the greatest return on investment to a home seller.

So, what is THE #1 most recommended do-it-yourself home improvement with the greatest return on investment to a home seller?

I’m sure the suspense is just killing you, so here it is…According to a 2012 HomeGain.com survey of nearly 500 real estate agents nationwide to determine the top low cost do-it-yourself home improvements for people getting their home ready to sell, here are the survey results of the 2012 top nationwide home improvements that real estate professionals recommend to home sellers, based on average cost and return on investment (ROI) to sellers:


Survey Results of the 2012 Top Nationwide Home Improvements


It is clear from my Facebook poll that you already know cleaning and de-cluttering ranks as the top suggested home improvement. This is a low cost improvement and it is recommended by 99% of real estate professionals, including myself. Why not? This project costs about $402 with a returning value of over $2,000 to the home’s sale price, or a 403% ROI! Now that's a reason to start cleaning and throwing things away that you haven’t used for years.

Take my free advice, and don’t shy away from project numbers 2 – 5, either.  Spending around $2,500 in the right areas can bring in over $8,500 to the home’s sale price, not to mention a quicker sale.

Thanks to everyone for playing along! Don’t forget to "like me" on Facebook for real estate updates and home tips!

I can tell the fall is fast approaching as home showings are definitely picking up.  When a you are looking for a new home, whether it be your first or not, it is always a good idea to make sure you are pre-approved for a mortgage loan.  You will benefit as the consumer by knowing exactly what you can afford.  Prequalification also gives you an advantage during negotiations with the current homeowner as it shows your financial strength and ability to close the deal without any financing contingencies.
