Is Listing Your Home Now the RIGHT Thing to Do?

Image
This time of year a common thing we hear from our sellers is that they want to hold off listing their home until after the “Holidays” or wait for the “Spring Market”. Many people have heard in the past that the best time to sell is in the Spring. Because most people think this way, more homes come off the market and less new listings come on the market. The result is a dramatic reduction in available homes for the buyers to choose from. Here are ten “top secret” tips as to why NOW is actually the BEST time to list your home for sale. Inventory levels drop between now and the end of the year. The buyers have fewer choices during the Holidays. Less competition may mean more money for you the Seller! Inventory levels will dramatically increase starting in January. They ALWAYS do! The buyers will have more choices. More competition means less money for you! The Buyers are more serious. People are busy this time of year. Any buyers out there are

How Do The Holidays Affect My Home Sale?

Image
                              As a Realtor I get asked many times what is the best time of the year to sell a home?  Many homeowners believe that since it is Fall and Winter and especially getting close to the big holidays like Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Kwanza and Christmas it is better to wait and not have one’s home listed for sale since there are fewer buyers ready to buy a home.  While it is true there are fewer buyers looking to buy a home during the holiday season that does not mean all home sales come to a standstill and nothing gets sold.  In fact many homes do sell and close during this time of year and if you are serious about selling your home, any time of the year is a good time to put your home on the market for sale. THE TYPES OF SELLERS LOOKING FOR A HOME DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON Parents with school age children are a smaller percentage of those looking for a home during the holiday season but that does not mean they are not shopping at all.  For those parents who h

New Construction: How Building a Home Can Save You Money

Image
                                 Owning your own home is an important and some would say essential part of the  American dream. However, once you've invested the time and hard work to save  up enough to be able to finally afford your dream home, you might find that you  are faced with a lot of difficult choices about the real estate where you could  potentially spend the rest of your life. One of the most important of those choices is whether to buy a house or build  one yourself. Here are a few reasons why building a house can be cheaper than  buying one. DIY An important factor that could heavily influence your decision about whether to  build or buy is how much of a hands-on person you are or aren't. If the details  involved in serving as your own general contractor don't scare you, building your own home is probably the right option for you. By using your own two hands in the construction process, you can save an arm and a leg on the con

What You Should Know When Selling a Home with Mold

Image
Selling your home is a big decision and among the many things you will consider, make sure mold growth is one of them. This is because if the house you wish to sell has a problem of mold you are legally bound to inform the prospective buyer or the appraiser /real estate agent.  Mold has been known to cause many health issues so there are both health and legal issues to consider before selling a home with mold.                                       As a seller you need to know the risks of selling a home with mold, the potential health hazards it could pose to those buying your home as well as the laws which offer some amount of protection to buyers. Selling a House with Mold Problems image by carlpenergy   About Mold  Mold is classified as a fungus and can be of any shape. It can look green, white gray or even black.

Selling your home in Fall or Winters

Image
              While spring and summers are the peak time for home sales and purchases because of the schools and other reasons, the second most active time for buying or selling a home is in the Fall. Homes sell in all seasons, there are buyers out there looking for homes year around, so thinking that homes will only sell in Spring and Summer is false. I have sold homes in early spring, thanksgiving, December. So there is no bad time for selling a home. There are some different considerations to take into account when selling your home in Fall and Winters,in terms of home preparation and curb appeal Curb appeal is something that is important during any season, and more important during Fall and Winters. It is what the buyers see first, the front of the house.  Remove the dead plants, remove the weeds, yard should be properly mowed, bushes trimmed, especially in front of the windows. Don't hide your windows by bushes. Hire a company to maintain the yard looking green and wee

What You Need To Know About Getting A Home Mortgage

Image
                                             A mortgage is a long term commitment which should be carefully researched so you get the best possible mortgage with the best possible terms. Both the mortgage company and the mortgage product that will be used to purchase a home can make or break your budget and as a result your financial situation can be fine with the right mortgage or you can end up being in a situation where you   cannot afford your house along with other day to day living expenses  with the wrong mortgage. By taking time to research and understand the various mortgage programs and providers out there before you make that home purchase you can end up with substantial savings. Get Your Finances In Order Prior to applying for a mortgage you should review your finances and any short term high value purchases that you may be considering in the near future. It may be best to hold off on purchasing any high value items with credit or with cash unless it is something you
