What Goes Up - Goes Up Further | A Letter from our London Office
Nick Churton of Coach Realtor's London office looks to a genius to make some sense of the current international real estate market and offer some pointers for the future.
What Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of gravity in the middle of the 17th century, would have made of the current gravity-defying real estate market is anyone's guess. But, no doubt, like most people he would have been flummoxed.
Even a genius like Newton, who worked from home during the plague of 1665/66, would have had difficulty making any sense of this market. Despite a global killer pandemic, tens of millions of people out of work, nations in lockdown, travel halted and national treasuries handing out trillions in support of businesses, jobs and mortgages, the real estate market booms. It should, by any calculation, have plummeted li...

Homeowners: How Old Is Your Deck?
A deck equipped with comfy outdoor furniture, some colorful plants, and a fire pit can be a glorious place to relax and enjoy some great views. And if you decide to sell your home, this outside addition can add value and make your home appealing to buyers. Without proper maintenance, however, your deck and its railings could collapse, fall apart, or fail in some other way. May is National Deck Safety Month and our REALTORS® want to remind you that you need to maintain or replace your deck to make it a safe haven for your family before the high deck traffic of summer. Here are some tips to get you started.
- Regularly Inspect the Deck
Regular inspection is one of the keys to good wood deck maintenance. Inspect your deck for loose nails and other hardware, splintered or soft spots, and rotten or split planks. Be sure to check the wood where the stairs contact the ground and where the ledger boards connect to the side of your home.

How to Find the Perfect Paint Color the First Time
Giving your home's interior a fresh coat of paint is a quick, affordable way to update design style, even when you have a limited budget. Our REALTORS® know that new paint can quickly transform a drab, outdated room into a room with spectacular ambiance and style that appeals to homebuyers.
Choosing the right paint color is essential for a well-designed space, but it can be a difficult task. With thousands of colors that range from pale neutrals to bright bold hues, finding the perfect paint color is often a frustrating and costly experience that leads to repainting. To get it right the first time, interior design pros recommend these important design tips.
- Don't Start With the Paint
Choosing your paint color first may seem like an easy way to get things started, but it's not a good idea unless your room is completely empty. Most people have existing furnishings and accessories they plan to keep, so paint must coordinate with existing items. Unless you're starting with an empty house, it's much easier to choose a paint color that complements your existing décor, rather than choosing new décor that works with your paint color.
