Over the last few years, I've noticed a new issue with buyers -- do they get a landline or stick with cell-phone-only service in their new home?
Me? I'm old-fashioned enough to want a phone that works when the power is out. If the power is out for days, I may not be able to charge my cell phone. Besides, I just like the comfort of knowing that at least one phone in the house is reliable. My cell phone is pretty reliable, but not always. The sound never drops out on my hard-wired landline.
I have no idea how many of my clients have opted for cell-phone-only homes, but an article in Monday's Realty Times had a survey by the CDC about the characteristics of each kind of household.
Which category do you belong in?
