 Condo Product Review. By me. By searching the internet.



This is a fantastic idea for maximizing storage potential in a
Walk-In Closet... and the one thing no owner should underestimate is the value of appealing  storage spaces and areas. You'd pretty much have to be from another planet if you think good storage isn't paramount in this town. Mmmm...kay?

Is Cash Really King?
Yes and no...

Cash is a real draw for many sellers in all price ranges and it's not hard to find a fair number of sales in all price ranges that are cash - or at least purchased without the aid of a mortgage contingency (because that really is the crux of the deal).

I am finding that a large number of sales over say the $2m mark are achieved without the need for such a contingency and most new construction in town (for instance) doesn't even allow for a mortgage contingency.
Cash offers seem to be of most value in the lower price ranges where there might be multiple offers on a $400,000 condo... then some parent steps in an obliterates all other parties with cash.

So cash can be king. Let's just say that.

Still at the same firm for 28 years. Clearly, they
think having me is a good idea
 ...which is a surprise to many, I'm sure.
