CRACKS….
Signs of Foundation Failure
The number one question I am asked on a daily basis is “What are the biggest signs of foundation failure”. There are many signs that point to a foundation starting to fail and the sooner the problem can be corrected the less expensive is will be.
The first signs that most homeowners will notice is the sticking of doors or cracks in the Sheetrock on the Interior as we spend much more time inside.
There are different types of Sheetrock cracks to look for and each shows a different type of stress. Sheetrock cracks in walls and coming off doors or windows that run vertical or horizontal usually are on tape and bed lines and not as concerning, however, they can be an early sign of movement. Diagonal cracks are more concerning since they are signs of more extreme movement and usually point to direction of fall or away from direction of heaving.
Cracks in the ceiling are a bit different. If you have a crack that is running straight across it can an indication of lower elevations either in front of the crack or behind it. These types of cracks are more serious and indicate a lot of movement is begging to occur and should be evaluated ASAP. Cracks in the ceiling that follow tape and bed lines are similar to cracks in walls that run horizontal or vertical. They should be monitored but generally are not as concerning.
I hope these are some helpful hints to assist you in better assessing possible foundation issues.

What is a Sellers Market?
Okay so you are hearing it a “Sellers Market” the “Market is Turning” and “Now is the Time to Sell”… What does that all mean? Or is it just another ploy by Realtors to try to get you to list your house with them. By Definition Sellers Market means: A Market which has more Buyers than Sellers. High prices result from this excess of demand over supply.
So the question is…Are we in a Sellers Market?
Just this weekend I had a house that my buyers where looking at get 3 offers in 1 day (one of which was a full price cash offer), I am currently working a contract that also has a back up offer and a house we listed over the weekend recieved 7 offers after being on the market for 5 hours.
What do you think?
I think…if you are thinking about selling NOW REALLY IS THE TIME!!! CALL ME:) 469-853-9784 or email keisha.york@gmail.com
