Happy March everyone!  Here in Southern Oregon, we've been blessed with an unusually warm January and February, causing Spring to arrive a lot earlier than usual.  With the warmer weather and early rising flowers also comes the desire to make all things new.  This not only means Spring Cleaning and trips to the local nursery, but an increase in new home buyers and sellers.  

 

For those selling their homes, Spring is the best time to spruce up your home with landscaping, new paint and improvements designed to give your home more curb appeal, enticing those in the market for a new home.  For those looking to purchase a new home, it's time to not only shop around for that perfect expression of your individuality, but also to find out the best ways to afford it too.  I hope this article on ways to save for your down payment will be as helpful and interesting to you, as it was to me.  See you next week and don't forget to stop and smell the flowers!
