  • Do You Know How to Sell Your House Fast, Even in a Slow Market?

    In the most recent reports on the economy there has been some great news: some areas of the country are experiencing a pick-up in the housing and construction markets. For instance, in Denver houses are typically only on the market for a few days before getting put under contract.  This is great news. However, this isn’t true for all areas of the country. Many, many areas are still experiencing slow real estate markets. But, no matter what the state of the economy, YOU can still sell a house quickly. There are three secrets to the trade:

    1)    To sell a house quickly you need to make the right upgrades. Not just any upgrade will help you sell a home. Make sure the bathrooms and kitchens have been economically updated and all the walls have been painted.

    2)    To sell a house quickly you need to price it competitively. Remember to price your property high enough to leave you lots of bargaining room and to make a profit, but not so high that you scare away potential buyers.

    3)    To sell a house quickly you need to market it aggressively. Listing a house on the MLS or Zillow isn’t enough. Make sure you’re writing attention-grabbing promotional materials and working your contacts.

    You can sell a home quickly, even in slow markets—as long as you know how!

  • How To Sell Fast in a Slow Market

    As of May 2013, the housing market has reached the highest level in more than three years. But don’t let that fool you. It is still rebounding, and although it appears to be on its way to recovery, it’s still slow.

     

    This post provides some tips to help you sell fast in a slow market. We like to think that choosing to use our services is the best advice you can receive, but the following tips aren’t so bad either:

     

    1. Make the repairs.  For most, it’s no longer enough to simply mow the lawn and repaint the shutters. In this current market, buyers have certain expectations regarding the overall quality of their new home. Generally speaking, “fixer-uppers” are on the decline because fewer and fewer people are capable of making such repairs themselves, and hiring professional renovators can be expensive. But whether you do it yourself or hire someone, you’re going to want to make sure that your house is in top shape before you put it up for sale.

     

    2. Price according to the market. Demand for real estate has softened recently. The housing market is on the mend, but sellers often face the harsh reality that their homes may no longer be worth what they originally paid. If you set a price above market value, you risk driving potential buyers away. Remember, you will always find a buyer if the price is right.

     

    3. Be flexible. People’s schedules vary widely. It may be the case that no one is willing to take a look at your house during the hours you find most convenient to show it. Ensuring that it’s ready to be seen at all times gives you the flexibility to entertain potential buyers at a moment’s notice if need be. Make your bed in the morning, empty the trash often, and keep dishes clean and out of the sink. Also, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared to leave on weekends if you’re using a realtor so they can show it as often as possible.

     

    There is certainly more useful advice out there, but if you follow these three tips, you’ll greatly increase your odds of selling your home fast! Remember to make the repairs, keep it clean, and be ready to show it as often as possible.

     

    Consider the last time you were in the market to buy a new home. How important to you was it that the place was well-kept?

  • 3 Reasons to Remodel to Get the Biggest Bang for Your Buck

    Are you getting ready to sell a house but you don’t think you’ll get quite what you’d like to get out of it? Have you considered remodeling?

     

    Sometimes the thought of remodeling is intimidating, but don’t worry! In this post we’ll teach you the best three rooms to remodel to get the biggest bang for your buck.

     

    1. 1.     The Kitchen. Once you’ve decided to sell a house, you  may find that even minor updates in a kitchen can return 100% of your investment. Many people consider the kitchen to be the most important room in the house. Consider updating you flooring, cabinets, light fixtures and/or countertops.
    2. 2.     The Bathroom. If the kitchen is the most important room in the house, it could be said that the bathroom is the second! Consider and updated vanity and mirror along with some fresh light fixtures.
    3. 3.     Game Room, Family Room, or Basement. Whichever room in your home is where the family would gather is the next room you should focus on. Consider paint color, flooring and window treatments.

     

    Once you’ve remodeled these three rooms, you’ll be sure to sell a house quicker than you would have without the updates!
