Does Your House Have Good Feng Shui?

Lisa Loper of the Scott Loper Team looks at an ancient Chinese art.

Feng Shui (fǝn shwā) noun: Literally translated means wind water - It is the ancient Chinese practice of positioning objects, such as buildings and furniture, based on a belief that the patterns of yin and yang and the flow of chi (energy) will have positive and negative effects on your life. To create positive Feng Shui in your home, you must allow for a free flow of chi (the energy which permeates the environment - when energy is in disarray, misfortunes rule the day) and have the yin and yang in a perfect cosmic balance.  The yin and yang energies “dance” together continually striving for the balance that brings harmony.  That harmony will result in a happier life, love, success and wealth. Yin is stillness - cool, dark, lifeless.  Yang…

What Pre-Foreclosure Means

Lisa Loper of the Scott Loper Team explains a frequently misunderstood term in the real estate market.

We frequently have buyers asking us about pre-foreclosure homes that they found on the internet.  There are many sites that will give consumers this type of information.  Most of these homes are not listed for sale, but some buyers want to know if they can still see the property with the possibility of buying it. Pre-foreclosure simply means that a homeowner has fallen behind on their mortgage payments.  And while a foreclosure may eventually happen, at the current time, the home is still rightfully owned by the mortgagor (i.e. homeowner).  It does NOT mean that the home is available for sale.  In fact, that home may never be available for sale. In most cases, a homeowner does NOT want to sell OR lose their home to a foreclosure.  The …

What’s Popular in Home Decor in 2013

Lisa Loper of the Scott Loper Team discusses trends in home decorating that are popular now and will appeal to home buyers

Everything changes with time and history has a way of repeating itself, the smaller affordable homes of the last few years are giving way to the return of bigger and fancier as homebuyers are feeling more secure with their financial situation and simply worn down from frugal fatigue.  “Green” homes are still hugely popular as plastic and other artificial man-made products are taking a back seat to the more luxurious (and expensive) natural woods and stone.   The world didn’t end in 2012 but there were certainly enough headlines of human tragedies and natural disasters.  A general feel of “life is short” has moved homeowners to really start making a home uniquely theirs and add artwork, statues and fabrics that represent them and their …

With the Looming Fiscal Cliff, Do No Harm to Housing

Lisa Loper of the Scott Loper Team talks about a possible casualty of the Fiscal Cliff negotiations, the average American homeowner and their mortgage interest deduction.

As the Fiscal Cliff approaches, many reports speculate that reducing or eliminating the home mortgage interest deduction could be part of the deal brokered by Congress.  This would affect millions of homeowners who currently deduct their mortgage interest payments from their income taxes.  The National Association of REALTORS® opposes any change that would harm the housing market.  The mortgage interest deduction is vital to the stability of the American housing market and economy.  Ben Stein discussed this proposal recently on CBS Sunday Morning and referred to the “wisdom” of eliminating mortgage deduction as "foolish”: “If we could get housing roaring back, that would go a long way towards full recovery for our economy.  Obviously, …

Are Zillow’s 'Zestimates' Accurate?

Lisa Loper of the Scott Loper Team discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Zillow’s Zestimates.

Zillow is a great tool for consumers to gauge home prices in their area or for an area that they are considering moving to.  Zillow tracks all the pertinent real estate information regarding listings and sales in the area.  They have complex mathematical models that provide an estimated home value for every single house, known as the Zestimate. However, while Zillow is able to access tax record information (such as age, lot size, square footage, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, size of basement, garage, etc), it has no mathematical way of assessing the condition of a home.  So a 20 year old 4BR/2.1 bath 3,000 sq ft colonial on one acre of land in Montgomeryville will have the same Zestimate even if one home has all new kitchen, baths, HVAC, …
