By The Dowd Team: Selling your home in today’s By The Dowd Team: Selling your home in today’s market takes strategy, preparation, and expert guidance. Here’s how to maximize value and attract the best offers: 1. Price It Right from the Start Overpricing can leave your home sitting, while underpricing may cost you money. The Dowd Team analyzes market trends, comparable sales, and buyer demand to set a competitive price. “A well-priced home generates strong interest and multiple offers, often driving the final sale price higher,” says Connor Dowd, owner of The Dowd Team at Keller Williams Realty. 2. Boost Curb Appeal First impressions matter. A well-maintained exterior, fresh landscaping, and a welcoming entrance can make a big impact. Small upgrades—like painting the front door or updating house numbers—add value. 3. Stage for Success Staging helps buyers visualize themselves in the space. Decluttering, rearranging furniture, and adding tasteful decor highlight your home’s best features. The Dowd Team provides expert staging advice to enhance appeal. 4. Invest in High-Quality Marketing In today’s digital world, professional photography, virtual tours, and strategic online marketing are essential. The Dowd Team showcases your home across multiple platforms to reach the widest buyer pool. 5. Be Flexible with Showings The more accessible your home is, the more buyers you attract. Keeping it in show-ready condition and accommodating viewing requests increases your chances of strong offers. 6. Work with an Experienced Real Estate Team Selling a home is complex, but the right team makes all the difference. The Dowd Team brings market expertise, negotiation skills, and a client-first approach to help you secure top dollar. Thinking of selling? Contact @thedowdteam at Keller Williams Realty for expert guidance every step of the way. #realestate #rhodeisland #newportri #thedowdteam #newportbuzz
The Blizzard of 1978 remains one of Rhode Island’s most defining weather events, a storm of epic proportions that crippled the state and tested the resilience of its residents. As we mark its 47th anniversary, we remember the chaos, hardship, and unity that emerged from those fateful days. The storm struck on February 6, 1978, and raged for 36 relentless hours. A perfect collision of meteorological forces—low and high-pressure systems fueled by Atlantic moisture—unleashed blinding snow, hurricane-force winds, and paralyzing cold. Rhode Island, already snow-laden from previous storms, was buried under 27 to 40 inches of fresh accumulation. Transportation ground to a halt, schools and businesses shuttered, and thousands found themselves trapped. Winds gusting up to 80 mph created towering snowdrifts, swallowing cars and homes. Coastal towns like Newport and Narragansett faced additional devastation from storm surges and flooding. Emergency services were overwhelmed as they battled to rescue stranded motorists and assist those in need. The National Guard was mobilized, and the state embarked on a monumental cleanup effort. Tragically, 26 Rhode Islanders lost their lives. The storm’s economic toll was immense, with power outages leaving thousands in the dark and businesses shut down for days. Yet, amid the adversity, the spirit of Rhode Islanders shone through. Neighbors helped each other dig out, shared supplies, and checked on the vulnerable. The blizzard became more than a weather event—it was a shared experience that forged lasting bonds. Photos: 1. NE Historical society 2-8.
