Real estate psychology, affordable housing and 7 reasons to own a home!

Three great articles from Hallmark Abstract Service on real estate and taxes, an infographic on whether someone is ready to buy a home and what Mayor Bill de Blasio's next move is going to be!

At the Hallmark Abstract Service blog we try and write articles about topics that we feel will be useful to everyone who is involved in real estate in one capacity or another!

That of course includes buyers and sellers, but it also includes real estate agents, real estate attorney's, appraisers, mortgage originators and anyone else who is involved in the process.

Today we would like to provide links to three articles and we hope that you will find at least one (and hopefully all three) interesting and helpful!

Articles from Hallmark Abstract Service!
For anyone thinking about buying a home this Infographic asks a series of questions that will ultimately lead to one of two answers:

1) You are absolutely ready to buy or,
2) Keep on renting!

These are 7 reasons why people are reminded during tax season about the benefits of home ownership and the deductions it can provide, a fact that is particularly true in high tax states like New York!

Now that the first of Mayor Bill de Blasio's campaign promises, pre-K for all has been funded, the speculation is that next on his agenda will be affordable housing.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions for other topics you would be interested in reading about, send them to orders@hallmarkabstractllc.com or leave them in the comments section of any of these articles.
