If you are keeping an eye on the current housing market, you know that conditions are looking much rosier compared to just a few years ago. Homebuilders are again reporting solid earnings, and companies that serve the building industry are thriving. CNN Money reports that Home Depot, Lowe’s, paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams, mattress maker Tempur Sealy, and home appliance manufacturer Whirlpool are again posting near-record revenues.
However, the same publication reports that the housing market has not recovered completely and could be faltering due to weak sales in the new construction and new home markets. David M. Blitzer, director of indexes at S&P Dow Jones, reports that new homes are being constructed at a rate of only one million homes per year, a level normally seen only during a recession. Some experts say the housing market is only stabilizing after a period of “runaway appreciation” that followed the housing bust.
Attract Buyers with Smart Improvements
In a variable housing market, the best bet to get your home sold is to make it as attractive as possible to potential buyers. One of those eye-catching improvements is installing gutter covers. Nearly all homeowners dislike the hassle and safety dangers associated with cleaning out gutters once or twice per year – and sometimes more depending on the house’s location. This task can be especially difficult for aging homeowners, and along with other maintenance demands, has the potential to eventually force them from their homes.
Gutter Helmet® can help homeowners of any age keep up with exterior home maintenance and lessen the burden of upkeep. These gutter covers are an easy, affordable and safe way to keep your rain gutter system clear and free-flowing, without the ladder. It’s why our motto is “Never Clean Gutters Again®!” To learn more about Gutter Helmet® gutter covers, contact us today at (800) 824-3772 to schedule a free in-home consultation.
