Selling your home during the holiday's

There’s a housing shortage.

Hopefully some of this information will help you make an informed decision if you are waiting until spring to list/purchase.  Bottom line, real estate is not as seasonal as it used to be.

Here are some reasons why:

•  What does it mean to you if your property is for sale and there is less competition during the winter months (because others wait until Spring)?

•  Less competition + buyers = potential to make more money.

•  The buyers looking right now are serious buyers. There may even be transfers out there looking to move prior to the start of the next school semester. If they are more serious buyers, they are more apt to respect your time over the holidays.

•  We have received feedback from buyers that they prefer to make a change prior to school starting in January so their children have an opportunity to make friends prior to summer. Who doesn’t like to play in the summer?

•    The best agents are still working. A real estate professional does not take off months at a time. They know their business is reliant on hard work, year round. Align yourself with these professionals.

•  Your property will look terrific with all your holiday decorations…just don’t go overboard!  Use the holiday season a way to make your property warm and inviting.

•  The internet. According to a NAR survey in 2015, 42 percent of recent buyers started their home search process online. What does this mean? Buyers can perform a virtual Open House of your property, year round, 24/7.

•  Why do you want/need to sell your property in the first place? How much will another winter cost you in warehousing, mortgage, and utility costs? Why not try to make a little more money with less competition?

              

These are just a few reasons why selling property is now a year round affair.

If you are going to sell sooner than later this fall/winter and second here are a few tips:

Stage it: Stagers (or experienced agents) can arrange furniture so that selling-points in a property don’t get overlooked, paint rooms inviting colors, and have the know-how to give a property a cozy winter feel.

Display photos of the property that also show it in warmer summer months. As always, keep your personal, religious, political photos to a minimum.

Turn up the thermostat in the property so buyers are comfortable from the moment they step through the door.

Price it right:  Drew Carey knows: if  The Price is Right it will sell.

Show the way: Keep sidewalks and driveways clear of snow, ice, and leaves–giving potential buyers a clear path to your property’s front door.

Light it up: with shorter daylight hours in the winter months, it’s even more important to keep all the lights on, as well as open blinds and drapes for natural light.

Why drop the price the buyers are not complaining.

"WHY drop the price? Buyers aren't complaining

You've been on the market for a couple of months, had lots of showings but no offers. You're thinking that maybe it's time to drop the price. But you realize that nobody has complained that the price is too high.

Could there be another problem? 

Nope. All the prospects that have viewed your home have said it... even if they never spoke the words. A decent number of showings and lack of serious interest means that your house does not compare as favorably with the others in that price range. Prospective buyers compare your home to others on the market and since they didn’t buy your house, they bought another. In other word, read between the lines when it’s not selling, unless you’ve got a dead cat behind the sofa.

Overpricing actually gives the advantage to the other homes on the market. Your house just isn't stacking up against the competition. Don’t wait so long in dropping the price that you make prospective buyers question why your home has been on the market so long.

Stage YOUR home TO SELL!

Staging your home to SELL!

The home improvement projects that make the house sell fastest is when you paint, update the flooring, and replace light fixtures.

Paint can instantly update a tired old space and make it look, feel, and smell like new again – especially if the walls were covered in wallpaper.

The same goes for flooring, wood flooring that’s scratched can be refinished with a top coat for an instant shine and if you have outdated, stained carpet it’s best to get rid of it and replace with a more affordable material. For details on those check out this video: https://youtu.be/rEf2s9ftM9E

Light fixtures are an easy way to tell if the home has been maintained throughout the years and can show the home’s actual age. So, if you have older fixtures, spend some money on replacing them.

It’s important to stick to neutral tones on your walls Neutral tones are not just the “blah” real estate beige — here are some of the go-to colors:

Halo, it’s from Benjamin Moore’s off white collection and it’s not only sophisticated but has endless possibilities when it comes to playing up other colors. Benjamin Moore Silver Fox – it’s not really silver, but actually lo

oks more like a gray-beige which is a good color combination to use in a room that you want to feel warm and cozy. When you put this color on your walls it’s almost as if you’re wrapping a blanket around you, so get comfy.

The next color is a blue gray and its called Eternity from Benjamin Moore. I absolutely love this color and Its one of my GO TO for my own house It’s a great color for southern facing rooms.

Buyers like to envision themselves in the space and are really looking for how they’ll utilize it. Overall consider the buyer. Would the buyer want to step over your mess on the floor to see the bathroom? Or see your dirty dishes? Be considerate of their time and have clean, organized spaces that they can actually consider living in and that will instantly put them in a better mood as they tour your home.

First impressions can make or break a sale, and curb appeal is the first impression being made with the buyer so it is extremely important.

Curb Appeal

•  Stay on top of your front landscaping, mow the lawn and trim bushes.

•  Power wash the home and sidewalks.

•  Add a welcome mat and potted plants around doorway.

•  Paint your door to update the look of your home, update the hardware.

•  Place a wreath or arrangement on your door.

•  Remove all toys, figurines from the front yard.

•  Clean all your windows.

•  Update lighting and house numbers. Make sure they match.

•  Repair the roof, gutters and update exterior paint if peeling.   

One of the first things buyers look for in a home is space, especially more storage space. It’s ideal to go through all your closets, kitchen cabinets or any cabinets that are provided in built-ins. Buyers are nosey and they want to know what they’re buying so focus on organizing and packing up items you won’t need while on the market.

Today’s home buyers are looking for move-in ready homes and that’s what home staging does. It gets the home prepared for sale and the next homeowners. Home staging will help you stand out amongst your competition if you live in a competitive market. It also makes the home easier to market because it will provide amazing photos to show online, which is where most buyers go to search for their next home. Home staging can also get you more offers and can increase the price of the home or, at the very least, justify the price the home seller is looking for.

Why should you take a realtor to your new home community?

Getting a Real Estate agent will be one of the best financial decisions you might make when buying a home, yet most of the time, you don’t even have to personally pay the agent. Your agent’s fee will likely come from the seller and/or the listing agent. Your agent will help you through every aspect of the buying process. An agent will find out your preferences and requirements and find homes that you might not otherwise have access to and give you advice based on the current market and local area. Agents help with the negotiation process. An agent advocates for your best interests. They help with the vast amount of paperwork and make sure you understand every step of the transaction. A Real Estate agent likely knows the industry better than you do and will be someone you can trust to help you with one of the biggest decisions of your life.
