I have some feelings about this. While I support the idea of creating more housing options, I think it is a grave mistake to reduce double stairwell egress to single. While the addition of sprinklers and other life safety measures is prudent, eliminating an egress route should not be part of the equation, for you can never fully plan for what the circumstances might be in an emergency. It will be interesting to see what kind of traction this gets and what municipal fire departments do with these changes.

The Importance of Working with a Local Agent in Today's Market! While that data gives you a starting point, it shouldn’t be seen as a comprehensive list. What buyers want in your area may be different, and only a local agent will have this in-depth understanding. For example, if homes in your area are selling quickly with updated kitchens, your agent might suggest focusing on minor kitchen improvements rather than spending money on other areas that won’t offer as much return. They’ll also help you figure out if tackling larger projects, such as replacing your roof or upgrading your HVAC system, is worth it based on other recently sold homes. As Point says: “Not all renovations are created equal, and focusing on upgrades that offer the highest potential for increasing your home’s value is key.” Remember, it’s not just big-ticket items that can have an impact. Your agent will also speak to some of the smaller details – like cleaning up your yard, adding fresh mulch, or painting your front door – to make a real difference in how buyers feel about your home. This type of expert eye is crucial to help your house sell fast and for top dollar. Bottom Line, Thinking of selling your house next year? Don’t wait until the last minute to get it ready. #localagent #realestate #housingmarket #homeimprovement #sellingtips #topdollar #expertadvice
