We hope that everyone has stayed safe during the COVID19 crisis. We know that this has been one of the most challenging times that we have gone through in recent memory. Things in the housing market have changed here in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts and are not necessarily good for sellers. 

In fact, we found an article that makes the prediction that home sales are expected to decrease by 60% this quarter with prices falling 2-3%. This is setting up to not be an ideal time to sell. If you have been thinking about selling your home due to needing more space, this might be the best time to consider making improvements to your property. Eastman Building Movers is here to help. Take advantage of low interest rates to refinance and get these projects complete.

Move Your Shed or Other Outbuilding

Whether you have a small building such as a barns, shed, or even a pool house, they can all be moved. Even if these buildings are only moving a short distance on your property, Eastman Building Movers can handle the job.

Jack Up the House and Add a Bonus Room

This solution of lifting a home and adding a new first floor is feasible for those who want more space. In the current real estate climate, most people have realized they won’t get the selling price they want. The good news, is that this solution can increase the home’s value making for a better selling price. Adding coveted space in this way is relatively inexpensive and you can get a great return on your investment.

Fix Your Foundation Issues

We think that getting into the habit of periodic inspection of your foundations is a good idea. If you’ve been proactive and have found areas that need significant and costly repairs, this a good time to consider fixing issues as seemingly small cracks can turn into large problems. Giving your home a lift to fix this can stave off things before they are beyond repair.
