Quick Tip: Make Your Furnace Last
Regular filter replacement is the very best thing you can do to keep your furnace in top condition. And here’s a way to keep track of that task: Buy several filters and label them. With some systems, monthly filter changes are best. Others can go a few months between changes.

YOU CAN MAKE A BUNDLE IN THE 'BEST' WINTER SALES SEASON IN YEARS
Selling a home in winter is often a slow process. Since many home buyers traditionally hunker down as the temperature drops, particularly during the holidays, home sellers with real estate on the market typically see fewer buyers and lower offers. That's your typical winter, but this winter is shaping up to be a whole different reality, even a hot seller's market.

According to Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors®, “It will be one of the best winter sales years ever.”
The coronavirus has changed real estate in a multitude of ways, and perhaps one of the biggest is the sea of buyers who put off buying during the first wave of the pandemic and are now slated to flood the market this winter. All of this means that sellers who are willing to put their homes on the market now could reap the benefits.

We hope you had a fun-filled November and wish you all the best as we start December.

Thank You and God Bless, Linda Trevor & Co.
