The Open House Checklist

The Open House Checklist

open-house

Are you open to hosting an open house? An open house is that all important event that basically shows off and sells your home to prospective buyers; and as such, this happening is perhaps the most essential tool in the arsenal of a home seller. A buyer, after all, has to visit and see your home and inspect its elements before they even can think of buying it.
While planning your open house, it may help you to develop a check list of helpful items to have on hand the day of the big event. And these could include:

1. An open house sign. Aside from the for sale sign that your Realtor will post outside your home, it might help to post additional signage that announces and lists the details of your open house event. This is sure to bring in passersby who otherwise may not have known that your house was for sale; one of whom may be the ideal buyer for your residence.

2. Informational sheets. Printed floor plans and information sheets can do much to answer any questions that prospective buyers may have about your home, and may play a vital part in their eventual decision as to whether or not they buy your home. These sheets tell them everything from the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the residence to their size and square footage; the size and style of the kitchen and living areas in the home to the availability of extras such as rec rooms, storage spaces, fireplaces, swimming pools, etc. Print these sheets up on high quality paper and hand them out to guests as they step through the door.

3. Refreshments. When printing up meeting notices in the newspaper, organizations are encouraged to list the availability of treats and refreshments at their upcoming sessions; a seemingly trivial factoid that has been known to double attendance at just about any type of meeting. It’s a fact; people love free food. So have plenty of it on hand at your open house!

4. Experts. All open houses should be hosted by people who know basically all there is to know about your home. This could be your real estate agent, or it could be you—or, in some cases, you both may wish to be present for the event; ready to greet guests, answer their questions, and basically offer whatever help and advice guests need to make their home buying decisions—and hopefully in your favor!

St Lucie County Single Family Homes December 2016 Market Detail

St Lucie County Single Family Homes December 2016 Market Detail

St Lucie County Single Family Homes Market Detail for December 2016 showed improved sales activity with improved results year to year as well as month to month.  Closed sales were up by 8.9% (in November they were up by 0%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 4.8% (they were up by 3.3% last month).

Prices also continued their upward march.  The median and average sales prices up by 13.9% and 12.0% respectively from last December (For November these numbers were up 22.5% and 18.5%).  While these are very good results for sellers, they make me a little nervous as rates of increase this high may result in lower affordability of homes and subsequently less sales in the future.

Active listings decreased by 63 homes to 1,732 homes.  This inventory is 6.6% higher than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 3.9 months (3.6 months for December of 2015)  This is 8.3% greater than last year.  The St Lucie County single family home market remains in a very strong sellers market.  A balanced market is one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.
