When the real estate market has low inventory, homes are bought extremely quickly due to the high demand. If you find a home that you love and can afford, act fast. Send your offer as soon as you can. Waiting a few days or weeks could mean losing the home to another buyer. Also remember that with few houses on the market, there will be heavy competition. Even with a fast offer, someone else might offer a higher price and receive the home. Just keep trying.

According to a study recently conducted by Trulia, the most popular vacationing hot spots may be more affordable than you think. Now-a-days, buyers are less likely to pay copious amounts of money for a vacation home. They are more interested in the activities offered within the vacationing areas, whether skiing, hiking, shelling, or kayaking. The survey also showed that out of the 20 hottest markets, nearly half of them had a median home price of $200,000 or below.
Within the last few years, people have turned away from the most expensive vacationing markets. There used to be a high demand for luxury vacation homes in Northeastern beach towns but the recent survey did not even mention those areas.
New vacationing hotspots include McGaheysville, VA and McCall, Idaho. Compared to last year, these two destinations have seen more Internet searches and increased vacation home sales.
The survey also pointed out that most individuals want more than just a sunny, warm beach. Out of the twenty hottest markets, three destinations were in Kentucky, two destinations were in Virginia, two destinations in Idaho, and one in Alaska.
The most affordable destination within the 20 hottest markets was located in Albany, Kentucky. The median vacation home price was around $95,000. Vacationers are drawn to the lakes, state parks, and hikes that Kentucky offers.

Why Are Retail Centers Disappearing?
Retail vs e-commerce
Some retail store owners are pessimistic about the future and are choosing to give their properties over to the lenders (banks) rather than reconstruct their debts. When the lenders receive these properties, they have few options. Most lenders are choosing to sell these retail properties at extremely cheap prices. While other retail store owners are allowing their properties to go into foreclosure.
Driveways are often the most overlooked aspect of your yard. Yet, driveways are usually one of the first things a visitor notices.

The rental market is slowing changing. The aging population and many Millennials do not want to buy homes, they want to rent. Rather than renting apartments, they want single-family homes in nice neighborhoods.
Within the last decade, single-family rental numbers have been soring. To meet this demand, many developers have begun constructing neighborhoods of single-family homes intended only to rent.
Why “Zestimates” Can Be Wrong
Zillow’s Zestimates provide quick estimations of a property’s value. After typing in an address on Zillow, a price estimate will be automatically generated by the website. Zillow also provides details about the property; including the lot size, average taxes, photos, and numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms. While many homeowners value this tool, there are several reasons that Zestimates could be off.
