Sold!: How to sell your home faster

How to sell your home faster

Sold

So you recently put your house on the market, and it’s been generating a great deal of interest—but, as of yet, no offers. You own such a beautiful house that has a great deal to offer; so why on earth aren’t people just swooping in to grab up your dream home?

Well, try not to take it personally. Please remember that the process of marketing and selling a home is a difficult and time-consuming one. A house is a costly investment, and it is only natural that a buyer would take their time in choosing their next long term residence.

Yet if you nonetheless feel that it is taking you far too long to ‘unload your lodge,’ then you may want to take one or more of the following proactive steps in order to secure a timely—not to mention quality—home sale.

1. Consult with your real estate agent. Your Realtor is supposed to be your friend and partner in selling your home; not to mention a skilled professional who knows his/her trade. So be sure to consult your agent with any questions or concerns you might have regarding the sale of your home—up to and including why this particular process is taking so blasted long!

2. Take a good look at your home. Is your house the very best it can be? Is it neat, clean, presentable, and presented to best effect? If you do indeed see ‘room for improvement’ in any or all of your rooms—or, for that matter, on the exterior of your residence—then you might want to take some hasty steps in the area of home improvement. A professional cleaning job or a fresh coat of paint could be all that separates you from a top notch, quickly attained home sale.

3. Host frequent open houses. A well-advertised open house is a surefire way to attract large groups of potential buyers into your home at once; thus naturally multiplying the chances that you will be able to sell your home faster, and for the best, most competitive price.

4. Advertise, advertise, advertise! And then, if there’s any time left over, you might just want to advertise. With the aid of your real estate agent, you can promote your home on various social media platforms, in local newspapers, through bold and prominently placed yard signs, and through various real estate websites.

5. Be patient. We know it’s tough, but no worries; you’ll be posting that “Sold” sign in no time!

Life’s a Beach:

The search for the ultimate beach house

Beachfront

As winter is upon us, you may be in search of those amazing seasonal experiences that come with the most beautiful, festive time of the year for those of us lucky to be in South Florida. You may be out to achieve and experience the perfect vacation, the perfect outdoor adventure, and—if you happen to be a surfer, a swimmer, or just an admirer of scenic settings—the perfect wave.

And, while some people might want to experience the this season in the idyllic setting of a hotel, resort, motel or inn, others might choose to rent or buy a vacation house for the season. And during the freezing months of December, January, and February, a beach house stands as the singular embodiment of the ultimate dream home.

What better way to access the perfect vacation, wave or outdoor adventure than via a house on the sand; one that offers spectacular views, easy access to beaches and waterways (obviously:), and all of the comfort and beauty that one can expect from the ultimate beach house?

Yet if do truly want to achieve the perfect beach house experience, it does always help to find the perfect beach house (again, obviously:); so with that in mind, here are some surefire tips and suggestions for those seeking the idyllic ‘place on the beach.’

1. Find a home on the beach. OK, before you click off of this blog in a total fit of disgust, please hear us out. While many residential structures are available for sale on and around beachfront areas, they may not fit your needs and requirements for the ideal beach house. That is why it is best for you to decide, first and foremost, what specific type of beach house would constitute a true summer home. Would you favor a romantic cottage for two or a huge, expansive party house that will fit your entire friendship circle or social group? Or would you simply favor a single family residence that just happens to be located somewhere near a beach?

2. Find a beach house that will truly offer you the total seasonal experience. Aside from supplying easy access to a tropical waterfront mecca that will offer any number of seaborne adventures, your beachfront vacation home should itself offer an array of ‘fun facilitating’ and ‘party ready’ features, ranging from swimming pools to sprawling decks and patios that double as the sites of socials, soirees, pool parties and barbecues.

3. Find a beach house that will withstand the elements. Some tropical and water-bordered areas tend to be particularly susceptible to hurricanes, tidal waves, seasonal storms, typhoons, and other weather-related phenomena. So be sure that your residential structure comes complete with a strong roof, sealed windows and doors, functioning utilities, and spaces that could be used as storm shelters. Some winter beach houses also come complete with stilts, to help brace them against the elements—while also providing an aerial view of the beach you so adore. Get back to the beach house this season!

Sell Your Home In the New Year

Sell Your Home In the New Year

Home Selling

As we bid a sad farewell to the holiday season and mark the beginning of a new year, you may be considering any number of major life decisions and transitions; not the least of which may be the sale of your home.

This decision might be made for any number of reasons. Perhaps you have made it a New Year’s resolution to find the home of your dreams; yet first you must sell the house that you currently own. Or maybe the new year brings a new job, school term or living situation that necessitates a swift and expedient move. Or it could be that you spent the better part of last year preparing for a big move; and now that the new year is upon us, it is finally time to pack up your belongings and head out of Dodge–heading straight into a new place of residence in the process.

Whatever your reason for wanting to sell your home at this particular point and time, rest assured that now is an excellent time to put your place of residence up on the 2017 housing market; and for a variety of reasons:

1. The housing market is booming. With the resurgence of the real estate industry and—for that matter—of the economy in general, now is the time to buy and sell; and especially to sell, as more and more people have the money needed to spend on the homes of their dreams—and to pay top prices for the very best houses. And that home could be yours!

2. The new year often inspires within people the desire to move and to grow. Some individuals even may wish to buy a new home for the new year, and may make it a New Year’s resolution to invest in their dream home. Take advantage of the wave of wanderlust; make your home available for sale at the earliest possible convenience.

3. Many Realtors are back at work after the holidays. Although a vast number of professionals in all job categories take a few weeks off during the holiday season, they often come back to work at the beginning of the New Year; rested, energized, and ready to do their very best at—well, whatever it is that they do. This is also true of Realtors, who are now back at work and ready to help you score a successful home sale.

Prices, however, continue their upward march at strong rates.  The median and average sales prices up by 22.5% and 18.5% respectively from last November (For October these numbers were up 12.0% and 13.4%).  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 increased by 110 homes to 1,795 homes.  This inventory is 9.3% higher than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 4.1 months (3.6 months for November of 2015)  This is 13.9% 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.
