Open Your House for Christmas

Open Your House for Christmas

Christmas

The Yuletide Season is here, and it seems that every home and public building—from department stores to boutiques to restaurants and hotels—is adorned and decorated for the holidays. And people are also visiting special attractions custom designed for Yuletide fun.

Apartment complexes and home communities often ‘dress up’ their buildings and structures for the Christmas and Hanukkah season. Museums and historical sites host special attractions that both entertain people and enlighten them regarding the legends and traditions that revolve around this most special time of the year. And some regions of the country and world also offer fanciful and beautiful Christmas houses and specialty inns open to the public; from Skip’s Christmas House and Florist in (appropriately enough) Holiday, Florida, to the Inn at Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and Tom and Jerry’s Christmas House in San Francisco.

The bright spirit and ebullient adornments associated with the holiday season often bring out the best in people—even those who are attending to the serious business of buying a home. So if you happen to be a home seller who is hosting open house events during the season of giving, you may want to convert your residence into a Christmas house:

1. Decorate. Throw a few extra ornaments and an extra line of vibrant garland around your ceremonial tree, ensuring that your Christmas tree serves to (yuk, yuk, yuk) spruce up the overall lovely look and festive feel of the home up for sale. Also bring out the spice, cinnamon and peppermint candles, the brilliant Yuletide art, the bold ribbons in scarlet and gold, the brilliant seasonal figurines and collectibles, engraved signs bearing messages of Yuletide cheer, the celebratory tableware, etc., that turn a house into a Christmas home. And, of course, don’t forget to post a wreath on the front door!

2. Entertain. Transform every open house event into a veritable Christmas celebration. Play some seasonal music on the stereo system, or turn on a radio or TV channel that broadcasts these merry tunes on a continual basis. Bake some frosted cookies or cupcakes in the likeness of wreaths, decorated trees and colorful ornament balls. Hand out some striped peppermint candy canes and serve up the egg nog and the hot cocoa.

3. Don’t overdo it. Although you may want to royally ‘deck the walls’ for the occasion of your holiday themed open house, you don’t want excessive holiday decorations to cover and obscure the natural beauty of your home. You still want to give people a full and honest impression of the beautiful, top quality home that you have to offer them.

Ho, ho, ho!

The single family real estate market in Sewalls Point took a second step backward for November 2016 after improving numbers throughout the summer.  Pending sales remained steady but a considerable drop in closed sales.  At least the inventory declined slightly.

The current absorption rate skyrocketed to 37 months, in October it was 13.2 months.  Hopefully we’ll see this number go down as we enter the winter season in the next few months.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to November of 2015, the inventory was 51 homes on the market, 13 pending sales and there were 3 closed sales.  November 2015 was a much better month for Sewalls Point real estate than this year.

The Dream Home

The Dream Home

Dream Home

In today’s revitalized economy, I as a Realtor am often approached by potential buyers who come in search of their dream home. These buyers finally have accumulated the money and resources to buy the home they’ve always wanted; not just a temporary shelter that will get them by until something better comes along.

It is truly a joy and a privilege to be the merchant of dreams; to help my clients find the home they have wanted and envisioned for years. It can however be a challenge if they do not have a clear idea of what they want in a residence. It may be difficult for them to describe and pinpoint the traits and qualities that constitute their dream home; and in that case, I will ask a series of questions that will help them realize the dream:

1. Describe the home of your dreams.  I have them describe in detail the home of their fantasy; the place that they’ve always wanted to come home to, the house that truly would feel like a home. I ask them to specify the look and style of this residence, as well as other traits and characteristics that they consider to be must haves.

2. Who will live here with you?  How many people will live in the house, in order to determine the number of bedrooms and bathrooms that need to be included in the residence as well as its square footage. Beyond the basics, the wants and opinions of these other residents also should be considered before any final purchase is made.

3. Where is your dream home? Do you have a specific location in mind? Or, will you let me do my job to locate the home of their dreams; but I can’t do this until I get a general idea of a preferred location or feel of a community. Do you wish to make their home in the city or the country, or perhaps in the suburbs? Is there a particular community that you enjoy visiting on a regular basis? Do you need a place that is located in close proximity to a particular school or workplace? As the old saying goes, “Location, location, location!”

4. What extras and accents do you want? Does your dream home include a fireplace, a swimming pool, a rec room? Little things mean a lot, especially if they’re fun and luxurious; the stuff of dreams, so to speak.

I can help you find your dream home.  Call me at 772-232-5966!

The Gift of a New Home

The Gift of a New Home

christmas-wreath

As we all begin the long and involved process of shopping for the Christmas season, we may find ourselves challenged to come up with just the right gift for just the right person on our holiday gift giving list. Should the gifts that you bestow on friends and family this year take the form of electronics, baked goods, handmade tokens of your great and deepest affection, or a new house?

That’s correct, you read it right. If you currently have both the desire and the means to indulge in such a major investment, then the gift of a new home is perhaps the most personal and meaningful gift that you can give anyone on your Christmas list this year, up to and including….

1. Your spouse. If you and your spouse have been looking to relocate, and you know that he/she has a specific type of home in mind, then you might consider purchasing the house just before the holidays—then slipping the front door key inside their Yuletide stocking as it hangs by the fireplace. Or, even better yet, take them for a drive to see some homes that have been brightly decorated for Christmas—including your new place! This is one Christmas that the two of you will never forget!

2. Your children. The gift of a new home just may be the ultimate expression of familial love; and at different times throughout the course of your life, you might find reason or cause to gift your offspring with this life-changing token of your love and devotion. You and your spouse might surprise the kids with the news that you’re about to affect a new and exciting change of scene in your family. Or at a later date, you might buy a home that they themselves will inhabit with their own new and growing family—or perhaps just occupy themselves.

3. Your parents. Often when people reach a certain level of success in life, they may choose to give back to the people who raised and educated them. They may choose even to buy a place for their parents to rest and retire; finding the ultimate was to say “Thank you” for all that Mom and Dad have done for them. And if these precious people in their lives need a little extra care, they might even choose to buy a large house in which the whole family can live. You might as well make it a holiday house!

If you’re looking to give such a wonderful gift in or around Stuart, FL, give me a call.
