American West Properties , Silicon Valley, San Jose, California

January 27, 2012

American West Properties is a Silicon Valley based company with real estate services for residential, commercial, income investments, and land development/construction.

.....Next to the local real estate market, the neighborhood has the strongest influence on value. ... In jobs-driven real estate markets like the one in Silicon Valley, buyers compare properties within an area close to their place of work. ....There are only a few improvements that will increase the sale price much beyond their cost. These include new paint, landscaping, a professional cleaning job and maybe new carpets and appliances. . .....Remodeling will add value up to the point where your house becomes similar in size, design and value to most of the other homes in the neighborhood. Beyond that, anything else you do could be an overimprovement, and the value of your home will not rise very much regardless of how much money you spend. ....Property value is, of course, not the only motivation for planting fast growing trees. One of the most wonderful gifts a tree offers us is shade. As Warren Buffet once noted, "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." .....
