6 Reasons to sell this summer 1. Curb Appeal is at a Peak
One of the quickest ways to boost the value of your home is to increase its curb appeal, which peaks in the summertime. After all, what home doesn't look more attractive when the trees are green, flowers are blooming, and the lawn is lush and full?
2. You’ll Have More Time to Focus on the Sale
Summer is one of the most popular seasons for people to take their vacation time. And even if you aren't taking time off work, summer still has the added benefit of having the most long weekends.
3. You’ll Have More Time to Focus on Renovations
All those long summer weekends? You can also use all that extra summer time to fix up your home.
4. More People are Out and About With the return of long sunny days, vacations, and the kids home from school, more people will be out exploring the neighbourhood.

5. Families Move in Summer When the kids are off school, it's an easier time for parents to pack up and move. What's more, summer provides a natural break and gives the kids a chance to adjust to their new surroundings before the fall.
6. Summer is a Seller’s Market
Thirty to 40 per cent of homes sell during the summer months. Why? Because a lot more people have time off and want to get settled before the school year starts again.
TERMS:10% down day of sale by cash or certified check. Must be a registered bidder to bid. Balance due at close within 30 days. 10% buyer’s premium added to the highest bid. Selling subject to confirmation of seller of day of sale. Seller is highly motivated and has every intention of selling. All measurements are plus or minus. Selling as is with a warranty deed.

Taking the Steps to Find and Purchase a Home by Brian Allen, President
Home Builders Association of Northeast Louisiana
A
s the home building industry celebrates National Homeownership Month in June, new data from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reveal that starting in 2019, a majority of senior (56 percent) and millennial (50 percent) buyers have moved beyond planning to purchase a home to actually starting the search process. The NAHB Housing Trends Report reveals that millennials expect house hunting to become easier in the months ahead. The data dispel the misconception that millennials view home buying as a burdensome process. The national homeownership rate is on an upward trend, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The number of U.S. households increased to 122.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, 1.5 million higher than a year ago. BUILDING EQUITY The benefits of homeownership are numerous. For many, owning a home is a positive step in creating a source of net worth. Home equity, the difference between the market value of your home and the mortgage debt you owe on it, for U.S. home owners has risen this year. Building equity when the value of your home appreciates is one of the significant long-term financial benefits of homeownership.
STARTING YOUR HOME-BUYING PROCESS Purchasing a home can be a daunting experience without research and planning. The first step is qualifying for a mortgage and saving up for a downpayment. To help aid in the process, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) — offer mortgage programs for first-time home buyers. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development also offers free home-buying seminars. FINANCING YOUR NEW HOME An important step in financing your home is selecting a lender and getting preapproved for a loan. Some home builders offer financial incentives or can arrange favorable financing for their customers. When you know how much money you can borrow, this can help determine the price range that works for you. Lining up your financing will allow you to move quick if you are bidding on a house that has several interested buyers. PRIORITIZING HOME FEATURES Before starting your house hunt, it is important to outline the home features that matter the most to you and your family. Talk to the members of your household and make a list of the top preferences in your home. You should also discuss the size and floor plan that best fits the needs of your household. Another discussion point is the type of home that is suitable, such as a single-family home or condominium. STARTING YOUR HOME SEARCH Once you have your financing lined up and know what type of home and features you want, you can begin your house hunt. You can start with a builder to buy a new home or find a real-estate agent to purchase an existing home. Websites such as Realtor. com, Redfin.com and Trulia.com have comprehensive lists of homes for sale with photos, maps and neighborhood features. To learn more about the benefits of homeownership or to help you build a new home that is right for you, contact the Home Builders Association of Northeast Louisiana at 318-387-6795 or hbanela@bellsouth.net.
