What You Can Do Now To Increase Your Future Chances In The Real Estate Market

July 17th, 2007 categories: Neighborhood Reviews, Real Estate News

Blog pictures011 This is another great example of what a green thumb and a little investment can do to increase the curb appeal for your home.

Melissa,in the Palomar subdivision,has used some very unique specimens to give her front yard a very shady cool retreat from the desert sun. The variegated beech in the corner is a great focal point. She has used a clump of aspen in the corner for shade with a nice contrasting blue spruce. A little berm in the front gives her yard some depth and ties it all together. A few shorter perennials completes this great yard!

Real Estate Tip

“Curb appeal “isn’t just a fancy phrase created to boost landscaper’s income. It’s a crucial first impression that can make buyers either wary of stopping to look or eager to step inside. My only suggestion for this residence if they were to stage this home for sale,would be to add planter with a splash of gorgeous color to attract the eye to the front door.

Crimson Point Subdivision Review

June 13th, 2007 categories: Neighborhood Reviews

Crimson point 2007 013 If you are interested in investing in a neighborhood in Kuna that will retain it’s value, this is a good place to look.

Located on the north side of Kuna, this subdivision is close to town with easy access to I-84. A planned interstate exchange at Ten Mile will make it an even easier commute. To find Crimson Point, head west on Deer Flat, cross over Ten Mile and you will see the entrance on the north side of the road.

Just one minor point to note, don’t expect to be able to resell your home and capture any gains until all 525 home sites are completed and sold! The builder can make a new home look much more attractive than a used home, even with all the added niceties that a homeowner contributes (like fencing, window coverings, storage etc…) Just put yourself in the buyers shoes wouldn’t you rather have a new home to design the way you would like it. And the prices that the builder can offer can’t compare to the homeowners capacity to leverage especially in a buyers market.

Crimson Point will have a pool someday…and the walking paths are really sidewalks, and though Indian creek is beautiful it is not really usable( the sound of rushing water is nice).

But the potential for a lovely finished product is what you need to envision before you make this investment. What do I see?
