Prepare the home for market!

Preparing means repairing and replacing worn out items. Spruce the house up! Paint!

Clean and inspect the furnace and chimney. Prevention helps the closing process and lowers demands from buyers because of inspections.

”Make your home look inviting and happily lived in.

The fastest sales and best prices are for properly staged homes.”

Don’t overimprove!

Before renovating, call a trusted realtor to advise what brings the most value. Sellers sometimes concentrate on the wrong things. Don’t make that mistake! A $175,000 home in a neighborhood of $125,000 houses

Clean, Clean, Clean!

Get rid of everything not used unless there is serious sentimental importance attached - then store it. Buyers viewing a “Pottery Barn” home often open overstuffed closets. Big turn-off for them making them think there isn’t enough storage space. Being organized brings higher prices and faster sales.

Stage the home.

Make your home look inviting and happily lived in. The fastest sales and best prices are for properly staged homes. Buyers walk in saying: ”Oh, its so nice!” That buyer just opened their mind to the possibility of living there, thinking this COULD be the home for them. If they don’t feel that walking through, other factors might convince them to buy; price being one of them.

Removing furniture gives a spacious feel to the home. Oversize sofas and chairs make rooms feel too small.

a seller or their agent wishes! But there are reasons to have them - all it takes is one person to fall in love and buy the home.

Buyers look for homes online. Some homes they might not think to see, but will drop in if they are in the area, looking at other properties. Agents can tell you, buyers sometimes surprise themselves and buy very differently than they originally envisioned.

An open house could convince a previously uninterested buyer this is it! Their new home! Lightning does strike here!

Open Houses invite those pesky, nosy neighbors, to come through. You want them! Believe it or not they might have someone in mind for the house and will rush home to call them. Neighbors want good neighbors and if they can pick them, all the better!

to “give the home away”. They are responding to the market. Some home owners think their agent hasn’t done enough marketing, sometimes true but usually not. Agents should be upfront with sellers regarding the property and market interest, making price reductions logical when necessary.

A silent cost to sellers refusing timely price reductions is the longer on the market, the less valuable a property is perceived by buyers.

Buyers always ask how long a property has been on the market when considering what to offer, factoring less value the longer it sits.

”There is pent up demand for homes in this area but sellers need to be realistic...”

Make the home available!

Sometimes agents get last minute requests to show a home. Be glad their marketing efforts are working. Buyers do ask to see houses last minute. They could be THE BUYERS! Have a quick exit strategy in place, incase that call comes, especially if pets or children are in the house. Sellers shouldn’t think buyers rude, requesting a last minute Be prepared for price corrections. showing. It’s just business.

This is the biggie. Sellers don’t like reducing price, often fighting tooth Open Houses do not sell and nail. No agent rejoices asking for homes. Usually.

“The first offer is your best offer!”

Usually true, unless a buyer is lowballing. Sharp agents alert sellers if this is the situation. Often when the seller turns down their first offer, they end up settling for less when they finally accept a later offer. Sad truth.

There is pent up demand for homes in this area but sellers need to be realistic to get the most out of their property!

A good agent helps. They want to sell that house as much as the seller does!

No one likes to work for free. Sellers and agents must work together to achieve their desired outcome, sale of the house!

From The Ground Up

By CARMEN SANTORA

Executive Director, Better Contractors Bureau

how much can you recover when you resell?

Carmen Santora, Executive Director of the Better Contractors Bureau in an effort to help homeowners contemplating a major remodeling project and who are concerned if the cost invested would be recouped should they decide to sell their home offers the following information. His analysis is based on a national average “cost vs. value” survey and condensed to specifically relate to our local area.

The resale value depends on a lot of variables, such as the state of the housing industry and local market conditions in particular at the time of sale. A lot of homeowners are concerned that their remodeling investment might price their home out of the neighborhood averages. This should only be taken into account if you think that you may be selling your home in the near future.

If a homeowner has small children and is thinking of adding extra bedrooms or an additional bathroom they may want to think of the advantages of staying where they are. If the schools are great, they live close to their workplace and shopping and are in an area of lower taxes or other personal conveniences, then they shouldn’t worry about pricing themselves over their neighborhood averages, especially if they intend to stay there for many years.

However, if the homeowners know they will be staying where they are for only a short time then a major remodeling would be foolish. Things like energy efficient updates such as new replacement windows, high efficiency furnace, roofing or siding, kitchen or bath updates would add to their comfort and help to sell the house faster and save them money while they still remain in the home. Major expenditures for a new kitchen and bath can run into thousands of dollars and unless money doesn’t matter or you don’t care

about resale values then by all means go for it.

It’s important to know that there are a variety of variables that can effect both the cost of the remodeling and the resale of the home such as the size of the remodeling company estimating the project and the values of the properties in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Below are some area examples of the cost of what some remodeling projects can cost and what could be recouped if you sell your house. The numbers pre-

Type of Cost of Added Resale Return on Project Project* Value* Investment*

Bathroom Addition Attic Bedroom Basement Remodel Family Room Bathroom Remodel Window Replacement Major Kitchen Remodel Master Bedroom Suite Siding Replacement Deck Addition Re-Roof (tear-off)

$15,700 32,800 43,600 52,800 10,200 9,500 43,300 70,500 7,200 6,200 7,500

$7,300 12,600 14,000 22,000 5,300 4,800 14,000 18,600 4,300 3,300 4,500

46% 38% 32% 41% 52% 50% 32% 26% 60% 53% 60%

*Numbers are estimates and represent an average for each improvement. Actual numbers will vary depending upon individual homes and projects.

sented here should only serve as guidelines when contemplating the potential return on your investment for a particular remodeling project.

Recovery costs for home improvement projects remain high and have been accelerating even though the growth in spending on home improvements has declined nationally over the last few years. As the economy improves so will spending on home improvements.

Lower priced projects during a sluggish economy are typical and usually only what is needed to keep a home energy efficient or make essential repairs. Higher priced projects tend to be more discretionary, and usually homeowners wait for the economy to improve before undertaking these expenditures.

Carmen Santora, says that he believes that within the five county area that the BCB services, the average cost recouped for home improvements probably falls lower than the national average and is somewhere around 75% or less range.
