4 Ways to Make Your Home Feel Instantly Calmer

1. Clear the Counters

Counters full of stuff can make a home feel overwhelming. Find a place for everything, then maintain it.

2. Let Things Go

Keep a container somewhere for donating things and use it to continually get rid of items you no longer want.

3. Don’t Leave it Out

Leaving items around the house creates a continuous distraction. Unless you need something, store it where it belongs, in drawers, cabinets, and closets.

4. Stick to the Plan

When you go shopping have a plan for what you need to buy and resist anything else. You will stop clutter from forming in your home before it begins.

Is NOW a good time to sell?

YES!

As a seller, you might wonder if you should sell your home when inventory is low. Here are some reasons why that answer is an astounding, “YES!”

Increased Competition Among Buyers

Low inventory means that there are more buyers than homes available for sale. This can create a sense of urgency among buyers, as they know they need to act fast to secure a home. This can lead to multiple offers and higher prices for sellers.

Faster Sales Process

Homes tend to sell faster when inventory is low. This is because there are more buyers competing for fewer homes. This can be beneficial for sellers who are looking to sell their home quickly. A faster sales process means that you can move on to your next home or investment sooner rather than later.

More Control Over the Sales Process

When inventory is lower, sellers have more control over the sales process. With fewer homes available, sellers have more negotiating power. Often you can set your asking price higher and negotiate with buyers on your terms. This can give you more control over the sale and help you achieve your desired outcome.

Less Competition Among Sellers

There’s less competition from other home sellers in a market with low inventory. The outcome from this is the available homes stand out more making them more likely to be considered by motivated buyers.

The bottom line, right now is, the market is still struggling with lower-than-average home inventory, but who knows how long this will last. Take advantage of this unique time in real estate by getting your home on the market while you have the opportunity to profit from the lack of competition.

The key to your home selling success not only relies on the right market, but on working with a knowledgeable real estate agent who’s able to help you navigate the market with ease. Please reach out to me with your questions. I would love to help you sell your home.

PRICING IT RIGHT

Pricing your home too low can result in missed opportunities to earn more money from the sale. This is why it’s crucial to price your home correctly from the very beginning.

Here are some additional reasons why pricing your home right is essential to your success.

Attracts More Buyers

One of the biggest advantages of pricing your home correctly is that it attracts more potential buyers. When your home is priced right, it will stand out from other homes on the market in your area. This can lead to more people coming to see your home, which increases the likelihood of receiving offers.

Helps You Sell Faster

When your home is priced correctly, it is more likely to sell quickly. Buyers are more likely to make an offer on a home that is priced within their budget. On the other hand, if your home is priced too high, it may sit on the market for months without any offers. This can be frustrating and can even lead to you having

to lower the price, which can decrease the perceived value of your home.

Increases the Perceived Value of Your Home

When a home is priced too low, buyers may assume that there is something wrong with the property. On the other hand, when a home is priced correctly, buyers are more likely to see it as a valuable investment.

Helps You Maximize Your Profit

Pricing your home correctly can help you maximize your profit. When your home is priced right, you attract more potential buyers, which may lead to multiple offers. This can drive up the price of your home, resulting in a higher profit for you.

Pricing your home correctly is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when selling. Understanding how to price a home correctly for the current market takes expertise. Reach out to me for a free home price evaluation. I look forward to helping you.

SELL STAY

Should You SELL YOUR HOME or STAY PUT?

The decision to sell your home is a big one. There are many factors to consider, including your financial situation, your lifestyle, and your goals for the future.

The following are some of the key factors to consider when making this decision.

Assess Your Financial Situation

Take a close look at your income, expenses, and assets to determine whether you can afford to move. If you’re considering selling your home because you need to free up some cash, you may want to explore other options first such as refinancing your mortgage or taking out a home equity loan.

If you’re in a strong financial position and you’re interested in upgrading to a larger or more expensive home, selling your current home may be the right move.

Consider Your Lifestyle

Do you love your neighborhood and the community you live in? Are you close to family and friends? Do you have a job that you enjoy and that’s close to your current home?

If you’re happy with your current lifestyle staying put may be the best option. However, if you’re looking for a new adventure or you’re ready to explore a new community, selling your home and moving to a new area could be a great way to start fresh.

Think About Your Goals for the Future

Do you plan to start a family soon? Are you looking to retire in the next few years? Do you want to travel more or pursue a new career?

Your goals for the future play a big role in determining whether selling your home is the right decision. If you’re looking to start a family, you may want to move to a larger home with more space for children. If you’re planning to retire soon, you may want to downsize to a smaller home that requires less maintenance.

By assessing the factors listed above and taking the time to weigh your options, you can make an informed decision that’s right for you. If you’re looking for a sounding board, I would love to be of assistance. Reach out to me if you would like to discuss it any further.

THE TRUE COST of Choosing the Wrong Real Estate Agent

Selling your home can be a daunting and stressful task, and choosing the right real estate agent is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful sale.

Unfortunately, choosing the wrong real estate agent can end up costing you more than just time and stress; it can cost you thousands of dollars in lost profit.

One of the most significant costs of choosing the wrong real estate agent is the potential for a longer time on the market. A skilled and experienced agent knows how to price your home correctly, market it effectively, and negotiate with potential buyers to close the deal quickly.

However, an inexperienced or unprofessional agent may price your home too high or too low, fail to market it effectively, or lack the negotiation skills necessary to close the deal quickly. As a result, your home may end up sitting on the market for longer than necessary, causing you to lose money in the long run.

Another cost of choosing the wrong real estate agent is the potential for a lower selling price. A skilled and experienced agent knows how to price your home correctly, taking into account market conditions, comparable properties in the area, and the condition and features of your home.

They can also negotiate effectively with potential buyers to get you the best possible selling price. However, an inexperienced or unprofessional agent may price your home too low or fail to negotiate effectively, resulting in a lower selling price.

Furthermore, choosing the wrong real estate agent can also lead to unnecessary expenses. For example, an agent who is not familiar with the local market may suggest costly upgrades or renovations that are not necessary or may not add value to your home.

Similarly, an agent who is not skilled in negotiation may fail to negotiate effectively with potential buyers, leading to unnecessary concessions or repairs.

Choosing the wrong real estate agent can have significant financial and emotional costs. By doing your research, asking the right questions, and choosing a skilled and experienced agent, you can ensure a smooth and successful sale of your home and avoid unnecessary expenses and stress.
