Wow! A breathtaking view of a gently sloping wooded backyard is what you will wake up to each morning and unwind to each evening. Positioned on a gorgeous wooded lot perched above a slight ravine overlooking woods and a small stream bed, you and your guests will be enchanted. Inside, this updated sprawling split offers gorgeous engineered hardwood floors throughout the living and dining rooms. You'll appreciate the rich tone and natural grain. The eat-in kitchen has been beautifully updated in transitional white with black granite and just the right amount of sparkle and walks out to a maintenance-free Trex deck.

This home is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of sloping and winding streets that give a sense of privacy and community. Tucked out of the way where non-residents rarely travel, and residents are out playing with their children, walking their dogs and saying hello to neighbors, everyone seems to know each other here. Sellers are sad to leave, but life sometimes takes us in different directions. Come, visit, and be charmed. You will want to make this one your next home.

How to Net the Maximum from the Sale of Your Home

Setting the right price at the beginning of the listing can mean the difference of thousands of dollars in the end.  Here is why:

A home generates the most interest when it is fresh and new on the market.  Buyers who have been shopping will recognize a well-priced offering immediately and will rush to see it in the early days on the market.  In today’s highly competitive selling market, early offers tend to be at or above asking price. 

Sellers are competing for the same buyers in a given area.  By being the most interesting offering in your price category, you are most likely to win the best qualified buyers in your market.  Well qualified is defined as people who are preapproved to purchase a home at your set price.  These buyers have done their homework and are ready to give full market value, sometimes a little more to win the property that best fits their budget, tastes and lifestyle.  These are not bargain hunters who are looking to negotiate a steal on a stale listing. 

A stale listing or a home that sits on the market too long has clearly been priced incorrectly.  Even if a correction is made and the price or condition is adjusted, buyers will scrutinize your offering and your price and will be less apt to offer full market value.  Savvy buyers know that if it has been on the market more than a few weeks it is overpriced and will start the bargaining at a discount even if the seller has already made price corrections.

Clearly, a home seller will receive the highest and best offers at the beginning of the listing period.  So how do you determine the “sweet spot”?  Getting the price right is a combination of art and science. 

• By evaluating properties that have recently sold that are closest to yours in size, style, location and condition, we can see what buyers have been historically willing to pay for a similar property. 
• An adept and experienced real estate professional can then evaluate function, differences and current market trends to adjust the value and determine the most likely price range for your specific property. 
• A review of the competition will likely show you where in that range to position your offering as the most exciting value in the area.  This will have buyers flocking to your property, cash in hand, ready to sign the contract.  Think you might be a little low?  The market will always correct itself.  If you price at the lower end of your range, competing offers will drive that price back up, sometimes over where you would have priced it at the upper end of your range.

The price is only one piece of the puzzle, however.  How a property is then prepared and presented to the market, the marketing and exposure strategies employed and the number of buyers reached with a given marketing plan all contribute to your success and bottom line. 

Choosing the right agent with the right marketing strategy such as ours will net you more money in your pocket.  Look for an agent that has a comprehensive plan that starts with properly preparing your home for the market, presenting it well, exposing it to a wide audience, and then has a strategy to negotiate and navigate through offers, inspections and closing to make sure your interest and your bottom line are protected from beginning to end.

The End of the Housing Crisis?

It has been a great season in real estate.  The phones are ringing, buyers are in abundance, many of them actually qualifying to purchase homes... despite tight lending restrictions.  Recent reports are now saying that lending restrictions are about to loosen up a bit, so the prospect for a great spring in real estate is very bright.

While the prediction is that 2012 will still see a high number of foreclosures on the market as banks continue to try to clear the books of their inventory, a recently proposed bill was designed to speed up the short sale process so that fewer homes end up on the sheriff's docket.

My own prediction is that at the end of the election season we will begin to see inflation and higher interest rates. For investors and first time home buyers, this may be the last year to cash in on the really great deals that we have been seeing in the market on both home purchases and interest rates.

Lost Equity? Maybe not.

The most frequent thing I hear from people who want to move is that they are afraid if they sell their home before the market returns they will lose money.  They want to wait until their equity position returns to what it once was.  Let me explain how this is a false view.

While it is true, we have all lost in home values over recent years, recovery doesn't necessarily need to take place in the home in which you are currently residing.  If you have enough equity in your home to sell and at least break even, now is a great time to take advantage of the buyer's market we are in to purchase a bigger or nicer home than you currently own, which is often more than what the previous market would allow you to afford, and wait for the market to recover there.

As an example, my husband and I just bought a house.  We sold our old house for about $6,000 to $10,000 less than what it would have gone for before the market turned.  While we did have to bring about $2,000 to the closing table, we really didn't feel too badly about it.  We had refinanced some debt into the second mortgage and, for several years, were writing off interest on debt we otherwise would not have been able to write off.  I looked at it as having to pay off a credit card to qualify for a new home.  No big deal if you can afford it.

We bought the new house for about $20,000 less than what we would have paid for it six years ago.  When the market recovers, we will see an increase in the new property value just the same as we would have if we would have waited for the market to return at the old house.  But because we bought now, we were able to purchase a home that we would not have been otherwise able to afford, moved to a better neighborhood, improved the quality of our lives and are no longer tripping over our dogs.

Yes, property values are lower than they have ever been.  Take advantage of this and improve your living circumstances.  Waiting for the market to return just may put your dream home out of reach.
