The weather has cooled down and it definitely feels like fall or some may even say winter (me!).  Don’t let the cold weather trick you into thinking it’s not a good time to sell your house.  Now is a good time to sell!  Lots of houses sell over the winter.  In fact, there are more than 3,500 homes for sale in Marion and Hamilton Counties today.  Read the following article to learn about seven advantages of selling or buying a home in the winter.

I watched a little too much HGTV over the last week due to the strep throat that took over our house and, I gotta tell ya, I’m over GREY paint!  Grey walls and white trim are all the rage on TV and, frankly, I think it’s a little boring.  As a real estate agent I see properties come to the market every day and so many of them have grey walls and white trim.  Here is a quick video that House & Home produced with the best interior paint colors for 2017.  None of them are grey.  There are so many other choices! Stand out from the crowd and be original!
