What's your Solar System worth?

Today I learned of a powerful tool for home sellers with Solar Power panels installed on their homes. Most appraisers and real estate agents can't seem to figure out the added value of home with Solar Power compared to homes without.

If a home has a newly installed system, it is expected that the value of the home increases $20 for every $1 reduced in annual utility bills.

Ways for calculating older systems require an appraisers evaluation.

Silver Creek Spring Sales

Spring is here! Okay, so that last few days have been a little on the chilly side, but today the sun is peeking out and shining on the hills of the golf course. Makes me want to head outside, go for a walk along the hilly trail, and head to Starbucks for a hot mocha. Yum!
Along with spring, sales have sprung! I’ve noticed a little pick up in the market. It’s typical for this time of year, but look at these numbers.
Transactions over the last 30 days:
· 19 homes have gone into contract (Pending)
· 9 have Sold (Closed Escrow)
· 16 Just Listed
Seems like families are preparing for life in Silver Creek Valley and making the move before the summer rush.
