Home Selling Tips

Are you thinking about selling your home? Even if you were actively involved in the home buying process, the home selling process might be vastly different from the paperwork involved to the way you need to prepare for the selling process. Below are some tips for sellers that will prepare you for your pending transaction.

The greatest number of showings will occur within the first few weeks of marketing, so being fully ready for visiting buyers on day one is critical. Online listing information tends to drive many home showings today. With an increasing number of buyers plugged into online databases, the moment a new home appears on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), interested buyers will want to see it.

Ensure your home is free of clutter and personal items, such as family photos, for showings, and real estate photos. Online images are the first impression of your home for potential buyers, and you want to put your best foot forward. Bear in mind that how your home is styled can make a tremendous difference in how quickly it sells. Buyers need to imagine themselves in your home. One of the best ways to facilitate that is to make your home as anonymous as possible by purging clutter and personal items. You may also find it helpful to remove large furniture pieces to make your home appear more spacious. Ensure your agent uses a professional real estate photographer, and you give them a clean canvas to work with. Twilight photography is also a great way to set your listing apart. Check with your agent to see if they offer this service.

Price your home competitively at the outset. Additionally, be aware of how buyers search for homes. Search parameters matter, particularly when it comes to price ranges. Lowering the listing price by even $5,000 could open up your home to far greater exposure. Online searches rarely, if ever, permit buyers to structure their price range requirements. Instead, they select from preset choices. Because of this, even a small price change can create a huge impact. For instance, a home listed at $255,000, as opposed to $250,000, could easily miss out on many prospects. Preset price search ranges typically benefit those who price at cut-off points. Thus, consider adjusting the price by as little as $5,000 to add many interested buyers to the mix. Since exposure to the maximum number of buyers increases the odds of success, keeping this pricing tip top-of-mind is extremely important.

Keep in mind that the style of your home could appeal to multiple demographics. For instance, the average starter home might appeal to first-time homebuyers and empty-nesters interested in downsizing. Likewise, a house with a bonus space could appeal to multi-generational home buyers or buyers looking for a home with office space or potential for an income suite.

Coupled with these helpful tips and your Realtor’s guidance, home sellers should find the selling process more efficient with greater odds of success at top dollar! If you have any additional questions or concerns about selling your home, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have, help you to find your dream home and/or determine the value of your existing property.

Want to Increase Your Net Worth? Buy a House

Financial security is important to all of us. You may think about it from the perspective of being able to take care of your family or the freedom to retire at a younger age or even just the comfort of knowing you have the security to care for yourself. Whatever your reason for wanting financial security, there are several ways to increase your net worth and bring you the financial peace you are looking for.

Make more money. This may mean getting a second job, furthering your education to get a better job or asking for a raise if you have been in your current position for a while and have a good performance record.
Spend less money. When you cut your expenses, you will be able to pay off debt faster and increase your savings. This will work two-fold to increase your net worth.
Buy a house. Almost annually, a study is done to show the comparison between the net worth of homeowners and renters. A recent study revealed homeowners are worth more than 46 times more than renters. Why is this so? There are a couple reasons to consider. Homes are likely to appreciate while your mortgage stays the same. Over time, your home is very likely to appreciate in value. Even during an economic downturn, decreased values are most often temporary and will begin to rise again before too long. When your home value rises, your mortgage still stays the same. When the value of your rental rises, your landlord is likely to raise the amount of your rent to compensate for the change in value.

Another thing to think about is that when you pay your mortgage, you are able to recover most of that money (and sometimes even more due to appreciation) when you sell your home. When you rent a home, the money you spend can’t be recovered when you move out of your rental. You have just helped the landlord increase their net worth. Owning a home acts as a forced savings plan since you must pay your mortgage to keep the bank from foreclosing on you. With each month and year, you pay your mortgage, you are growing your equity in your home. Over time, your equity increases, and you are able to take advantage of that equity when you choose to sell your home. Assuming the value of your home has increased while you owned it coupled with your equity, you can see a nice return on homeownership with a little time.

Statistically, this makes a great case for homeownership but only you can decide what is right for you. If you don’t plan to stay in one area for a long time, this may not be the best time for you to buy a home. If you do plan to stay in one place for a while, it might be a good time to consider buying a home while increasing your net worth at the same time. If you have any additional questions or concerns about buying a home, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have, help you to find your dream home and/or determine the value of your existing property.

Fall Maintenance for Homeowners

As summer winds down and fall approaches, you will hopefully get some relief from the hot weather of recent weeks. As the temperatures cool, this makes a great time to take care of home maintenance tasks outside and prepare your home for the winter months. What should you do around your home in the fall to make sure you are ready for the next season? Here are five things you definitely should not skip.

Lawn maintenance is common in the fall. If you choose to aerate in the fall, then you may want to fertilize your lawn after that. The summer is harsh on your grass. Giving it some attention after the weather starts to cool can help it recover before its dormant winter season. If you do fertilize your lawn, you will need to water it as well if the weather doesn’t cooperate with you. Without watering, your fertilizer will be wasted.
Fall is a great time to seal and stain your deck. Depending on your deck, this may need to be done annually or every two to three years. You need to avoid the wettest season and while summer may have plenty of time that isn’t wet, it may be too hot for you to do this kind of activity depending on the size of your deck. While you may have some fall rain, you should likely have plenty of dry days too so you can complete this activity without getting into the cold months. While your area may be drier in the winter, if there is rain, it is likely to stick around longer since the temperatures are cooler. Most likely the fall will still have plenty of warm, sunny days to make deck maintenance ideal.
Empty the gutters and downspouts and make any necessary repairs. When the leaves start to come off the trees in the fall, it is best to have your gutters empty, so they aren’t overloaded. Overflowing gutters can pull away from the house causing damage and allowing water to flow into your home. This damage is often hard to spot until it has progressed to a big and expensive problem.
Winterize any outdoor water sources. This includes outdoor spigots, irrigation systems, sinks, fountains, and anything else. If temperatures dip below freezing with water in the lines, it could cause your pipes to burst creating an expensive and messy repair.
Have your fireplace cleaned for the new season if you didn’t have it done at the end of fireplace season. If this is not something you have been doing regularly, talk to the person that comes out about the recommended schedule for this maintenance task depending on your fireplace usage habits. Fireplaces provide great heat during the winter but can be dangerous if they aren’t properly maintained.

Routine maintenance is critical to caring for your home and protecting your most important asset. Anytime you need a recommendation for a home professional to assist you with something big or small around your home, give me a call. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have, help you to find your dream home and/or determine the value of your existing property.
