New Hampshire real estate agents are masters at keeping a variety of balls in the air, and on any given day, you just never know what a phone call will bring or what type of listing will walk in through the door. The coveted luxury home sale is a welcome addition to any agent’s day, especially when it’s not a typical part of their core business. If you’re buying or selling a luxury home, know that straight out of the gate, it takes a special combination of expertise, roll-up-your sleeves determination (and maybe just a hint of luck) for you and your agent to get to that incredibly rewarding finish line.
If you live in New England, fall gives you one of the prettiest backdrops that exists to showcase your home – as long as you follow a few simple guidelines.
Almost everyone – including a potential home buyer - feels more comfortable and relaxed in a clean and organized home, but unfortunately clutter and chaos can take over. This can make any home seem smaller and unwelcoming. Some people say that clutter makes them feel like it is harder to breathe.
If you are planning to put your home on the market, it is wise to know fact from fiction. In today’s market, can you assume you will sell quickly? Do you need to remodel parts of the home before listing it?
Here are a few myths debunked for you:
The current seller’s market has advantages for those looking to get the most return when selling their home. But if buyers enter a bidding war on a property, what happens if the final agreed upon selling price is above what the bank appraiser says it’s worth? Just because both sides agree on a price doesn’t mean the deal can’t fall apart because of an under-appraisal.
Today, people are shopping online for everything, even homes. As a buyer you are probably scouring numerous pictures of homes and their interiors, and as a seller you want to have many great photos of your home attached to your listing. But what about video tours?
Your house is valued at $350,000, while your neighbors’ house is at $425,000. What makes up this difference? What do they have that your house lacks?
Here is an overview of key things that bring value when it comes to what a home is worth in today’s market.
If your house is on the market and you have an upcoming vacation, should you still take it? What if offers come in? What about the safety of your property from theft?
Relax, and don’t cancel your week away. If you have a qualified, trustworthy real estate agent working for you, your home may actually be easier to sell with you not around.
Why?
You love your pet – after all, he or she is a member of your family. But if you are selling your home, you should know that some people won’t love encountering your pet (or any of their signature messes!) during a showing.
It is a seller’s market in many regions of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and that means selling your house may happen quickly. It’s not something you can, or should, count on, but it does happen often right now. Every home sale is different and depends on the current demand for a home like the one you are selling. But given the market, at the very least you should be prepared for the fact that your home may sell quickly.
