So many times, damage to your home can be avoided by simple maintenance. Fall is a perfect time to clean out your gutters to prevent rain or snow melt from pooling near your foundation and leaking into your basement. It can also help avoid ice dams that can damage your roof or cause water to enter your home.
Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS has a relationship with Nelson Brothers Agency. One of the insurance companies they work with is West Bend Insurance, whose website has lots of great blogs on home care. They recently published a blog about tips for cleaning gutters on your home.
And just to keep you informed about the housing market, please talk with a trusted REALTOR® instead of depending on national news headlines for your real estate questions. While home prices in our market are not appreciating at the rate they have been over the past several years, it is still a seller’s market in most price ranges. For example: If you purchased your home several years ago and sell now, while you may not get a bidding war for 11% over an aggressive list price, you will still have buyers interested in a fair market price for your home. Condition and appropriate pricing are key to a successful sale. You can find more real estate market news on our Facts and Trends page.
