In seven years I have handled 100+ new homes builds with my clients. New home builds are always trickier to manage than buying a resale home. This year it became a little more complicated. For instance, I have a client whose costs to build just went up $12,000.00 before construction even starts, and a friend whose home is already 2 weeks behind ...

In November home sales were up a whopping 72% over November last year. In St. John’s home sales were up 68% from October to November this year, and it shows. The inventory is down and ...

I’ve discovered that unless writing is something that comes fairly easily to you, it’s hard to maintain a blog. I’m about to try again. Maybe it’s a bit like quitting smoking, you keep trying until you are successful. I’m sure I’m behind the eight ball on this, but this week I discovered YouTube. Sure I’d ...
