Foto Friday – The Lowry Team Has Fun

At After Hours On The Square in West Chester Ohio.

It was a beautiful night on The Square. Sunshine, a slight breeze and warm. The venue was just the right size for the event. It was not too crowded and people had room to roam.

DV8 was the featured band of the evening. They sounded amazing and really engaged with their audience. Concert goers sang along and danced to tunes from the 80’s to now. Lisa Lowry, Director of Client Care says, “DV8 is one of the best cover bands in Cincinnati. The perfect band to start the West Chester concert series.”

Kids danced and played while their parents relaxed with a drink and listened to the music. A number of attendees brought their dogs to frolic and play in the grassy areas around The Square.

A beer booth and Icee vendor were available for those who wanted to purchase drinks. There was also complimentary popcorn for people to snack on. Many families packed picnic baskets or picked up dinner on the way.

Join The Lowry Team next Thursday, May 29th from 6 pm – 9 pm. The high energy, entertaining, rock n roll cover band 3 Day Rule will be playing.

The Lowry Team lives, works and plays in West Chester Ohio.

Selling Your Home During The Holidays

November 14, 2013 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Selling Your Home During The Holidays

Most people assume that it’s best to sell during the spring or summer, but the holidays are a great time to list your home for sale. Selling your home during the holidays can put you in a great position to sell your home faster and for a higher price. Here are some reasons that selling your home during the holidays can be beneficial to you.

Motivated Buyers – Anyone who takes time out of their busy holiday schedule to look for homes is a serious buyer. These buyers can be under pressure to buy during the holidays for a number of reasons; they could be relocating for a new job that starts in the new year, or they could be buying now to get the tax deductions. Whatever the reason, the buyers that are out during the holidays are serious about buying a home.

Less Competition – Since many home sellers do choose to wait out the holiday season this means the housing inventory is much lower during the holidays. Lower housing inventory equates to less competition from other sellers. Since the inventory is low, you may be able to sell your home much faster than you would during the peak seasons of spring and summer. Selling your home during the holidays may also be able to get a much better price for your home.

Lower Interest Rates – Interest rates drop every December through January on a cyclical basis. In addition to that, due to the current market conditions with the Federal Reserve planning to taper bond purchasing, real estate and mortgage experts expect interest rates to begin a continuous rise beginning after the holidays. The buyers that are out during the holiday season want to take advantage of the lower interest rates before they go back up in the new year.

Faster Closings – Closings are historically shown to be faster during the months of November and December due to the fact that the number of transactions occurring during these months is lower. The Lowry Team has a Transaction Coordinator that makes sure the process from contract to closing goes as smoothly and as quickly as possible for you as a seller.
