You’ve painted the walls, purged the clutter, replaced those old appliances and let your preferred realtor know you’re ready to put your house on the market. Now comes THE most important part of the process - determining the optimum listing price.

southern tier, NY Edition Publication Manager Account Executive

Using a Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA), a comparison of recent homes with similar amenities in nearby escrow and sold properties, along with your agent’s knowledge of the current market, you and your agent will determine the asking price.

Achieving the optimum price will result in a quicker sale, generate more interest, expose the property to more buyers and increase realtor response.

Fact is, most of the activity on any new listing occurs within the first few weeks. Overprice at the beginning and your three-weeks-in price reduction could cost you time and money. Interest from buyers may have already waned. One of the first questions savvy buyers and their agents ask is, “How long has this listing been on the market?” Buyers are often reluctant to make an offer on a home that has been on the market for awhile thinking something may be wrong with the home.

“Overpriced listings frequently help you to sell your neighbor’s reasonably priced home, making it appear that their home is priced very well,” says agent Phyllis Herb. “Price is the number one factor that most home buyers use to determine which homes they want to view. It’s also important to remember that although you and your Realtor set the asking price, the selling price is determined by the buyer.”

Pricing is one of the biggest decisions in the selling process and it’s your agent’s job to know what works best in your market. Listen carefully to their pricing strategy and work with them to set a realistic price. The more the list price is determined by reality and what the market truly looks like, the sooner you’ll be on your way to posting that SOLD sign in your front yard.

Many Boomers

Surprised By Debt

In Retirement

For most people, retirement means more time to travel, play with grandkids and experience greater personal satisfaction in everyday life. But as Baby Boomers begin to retire, many will experience a different reality - one marked by debt. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid being among them.

According to a new study commissioned by Bankers Life Center for a Secure Retirement, more than half of pre-retirees think they’ll pay off their debts before retirement, but only a quarter of retirees actually are debt free. The same study found that eight in 10 middle-income Boomers currently have some debt, and nearly 25 percent have more than 20 years remaining on their mortgage.

“We tend to prepare for costs that we can anticipate,” said Scott Goldberg, president of Bankers Life. “Most do not foresee the amount of debt they will carry into retirement and other unexpected expenses, such as long-term care and various health related costs. Our studies show that only about half of Boomers feel they have a strong understanding of financial matters to overcome these hurdles.”

newsShorts their income and find additional sources of income during retirement. Nearly 90 percent express some concerns about making their money last in retirement.

“More than ever, it is crucial that Boomers take proactive steps in advance of retirement and recognize the options available while planning for a secure future,” said Goldberg. “From annuities to long-term care insurance to investments, the options beyond Social Security and pensions are increasingly tangible for middle-income Boomers.”

Retirees are living longer, more independent lives and being financially prepared for long-term retirement is more important than ever. It’s never too late for Boomers to meet with a trusted financial advisor to prepare and take the correct precautions that can set them up for a more fulfilling experience in their golden years.

Get Unhinged:

3 Ways to Create

Visually Striking

Doors in Your Home

If you’re looking for a way to make visitors to your home say “wow,” consider alternatives to hinged doors for an unexpected twist.

Not long ago, many retirees relied on pensions and Social Security for income during their golden years. These income streams used to be enough to live on comfortably. Today, fewer companies are offering pensions and benefits from Social Security are getting leaner just as a greater number of Americans are retiring.

“Once you’ve chosen the door that’s perfect for you, it can be hung in a number of distinctive ways,” says Brad Loveless, marketing and product development manager for Simpson Door Company. “A pocket door, sliding barn door or a pivot door can add some personality and pizzazz to your home.”

As Boomers leave the workforce at what looks like lightning speed, they may not be prepared to continue paying off debt or other unexpected expenses. According to the study, middle-income Boomers are unsure of the best ways to maximize

Pocket doors - Similar to closet doors hung on a track, pocket doors slide open and closed, but disappear into the wall when closed. Popular in home offices, bathrooms and utility rooms, using a pocket door in place of a hinged door

saves about 10 square feet of floor space, notes home improvement expert Tim Carter.

Depending on the width of the opening, you can use either a single pocket door, or double pocket doors that slide into opposite walls and meet in the middle when closed. Because they don’t seal as tightly as hinged doors, pocket doors are largely limited to use inside the home, instead of as entry doors.

Sliding barn doors - Barn doors are a bit like pocket doors in that they slide open and closed, but they’re hung on tracks that are visible.

When opened, the doors are located on one side of the wall, instead of disappearing into the wall.

“People like the unexpected look of a barn door,” says John Golesh, president of door hardware manufacturer Goldberg Brothers.

“They’re a great way to add a rustic, yet elegant look to your home. And with the wide variety of door hangers and handles, a barn door can complement any interior décor.”

In addition to the chic look barn doors offer, homes for sale with “barn door” in their listing sold for 13 percent more than expected and 57 days faster, according to research by Zillow Diggs.

Pivot doors - Common in ancient buildings, pivot mounted doors are virtually unseen in North American homes. For homeowners who want an element of surprise, a pivot door is a good choice.

In place of hinges or overhead sliders and tracks, pivot doors rotate open and closed around pins installed in the top and bottom of the door frame.

The pins are set several inches in from the door frame, depending on the door’s size.

“For high-end homes with extra-wide doors, pivots are a great way to handle the additional weight, and will be unlike anything your visitors have seen before,” Loveless says. “We are making many different super-sized doors for this exact application.” Unlike pocket doors and barn doors, pivot doors can seal tightly to their frame when closed, so can be used as entry doors.
