What NOT to do when selling your home By Bernice Ross Inman News Service

With the credit crunch and huge amount of competition from distressed properties, "normal sellers" have had a tough time getting their properties sold. If you must sell in this market, it's absolutely critical that you price your property right. Pinpointing the best possible price for your home can be a challenge. If you overprice your property in today's market, it can stay on the market for months. If values in your area are declining, the longer you take to sell, the less money you will net. If you want to net the most from your real estate sale, avoid these common seller pitfalls: 1. Basing the list price for your home on the list price of other properties This is probably the most common mistake that sellers make. They look at what other properties are listed for in their neighborhood and base their price on those numbers. This is a huge mistake. To correctly price your property, the only accurate "comparable sales" are those properties that have closed either for all cash or where a lender has funded a loan. While properties may be selling, many are not closing due to the credit crunch. Appraisals are a huge issue. The reason is that a property

worth $200,000 today may be worth $196,000 when it closes 60 days later. Appraisers are aware of the issue and often set values more conservatively as a result. You can obtain comparable sales information online from real estate brokerage sites, Realtor.com and multiple listing service (MLS) Web sites. These online resources are a great starting place. The challenge is that they often lack up-to-date sale and/or price-reduction data. The best source for comparable sales information is a competent local broker who has access to the most up-to-date MLS data. 2. Basing your list price on what you paid for the property Many sellers believe that what they paid for the property influences their current sales price. "We paid $200,000 for the property three years ago. We have to sell it for at least $218,000 to break even." This reasoning is based upon a very common fallacy. Many people believe that the agents and the sellers determine the price at which a property will sell. The truth of the matter is that the real estate market is like the stock market. The buyers -- not the sellers or agents -- determine whether a property is saleable in any

given market. For example, if you paid $80 a share for IBM stock and today it's selling for $50 a share, if you wanted to sell for $80 per share, you wouldn't be a seller in today's market. The same is true for your real estate. The price you paid for the property has no bearing on what the buyer will pay. (It does make a difference in terms of your tax liability and a host of other issues.) 3. Overestimating the value of your improvements or upgrades Many sellers have a challenge understanding how the improvements or upgrades that they have made to the property impact value. Some improvements do increase value. Generally these include adding square footage or bringing your property up to the same standards as most other properties in the area. Most improvements, however, make your property more saleable, but they don't necessarily add to the value. For example, assume that you have white travertine marble countertops throughout your home and distressed walnut floors. These features make your home more attractive to potential buyers, but normally don't add much to your sales price. The reason is that those improvements have no

value to a buyer who prefers dark granite and plush carpets. Also, if you overimprove your property by making your home substantially larger than that of your neighbors, you probably won't recoup that money either. 4. Testing the market Sellers often want to "test" the market. "Let's list it at a higher price for a few weeks and see what happens." This is a huge mistake. Real estate professionals know that all listings have a "honeymoon period" where the listing will have the most showings. This normally takes place during the first 30 days the property is on the market. The reason is that buyers who have not yet found a property attempt to see new listings as soon as they come on the market. This initial rush normally drops off after the first 30 days. After that, showings are normally limited to new buyers coming into the market. If you don't sell during the honeymoon period, there's a high probability that your property will be on the market for an extended period of time. You can generate additional interest with a price reduction, but it never creates the attention you receive when you first list the property.

Fireplace teardown raises resale issue By Bill & Kevin Burnett Inman News Service

Q: I live in a 900-square-foot house in East Oakland, Calif., built around the 1920s. I'd like to remove my fireplace. My living room is very small and has only one open/available wall, which faces east. The front wall faces the street to the north and is all window. Then there is the wall with the fireplace (west), which is flanked by awning windows, and the third wall (south) opens entirely into the dining room, with beveledarch corners. I need another surface for art/decorations, or perhaps there is a flat-screen TV in my distant future. With only one wall to work with, demolishing the fireplace would add value to the room/house. The wall already needs significant plaster work that's going to take it down to the lath to be repaired. I figure whenever I get that done, I could have the fireplace removed. In the four-plus years I have lived here, I've fired up the fireplace twice. What are your thoughts regarding value lost or gained? A: We see your point about ripping out the

fireplace. Over the years we've had fireplaces in many of our homes. We really didn't use them much. Our family home in nearby San Leandro had two fireplaces. We used the one in the family room once or twice each winter, and the one in the living room wasn't used in the 20 years our family lived there. On the other hand, there is some primal pleasure we all seem to experience from the warmth of an open fire. Most people view a fireplace as a plus. The disadvantage is that a wood-burning fireplace is messy and inefficient. Modern builders compromise by installing more efficient gas fireplaces with all of the ambience and none of the mess. All in all, taking out the fireplace is not a bad idea. But it may take a lot more than ripping out the brick and installing drywall. You'll have to fill in the hole you'll make, and that could involve the structure from the foundation to the roof. If the fireplace is sound, there is a possibility that you can avoid a full-blown demolition by removing the fireplace face, then bricking in the opening and extending the

wall framing to cover the opening. Look outside where the brick meets the exterior wall. If there is no cracking or separation between the siding and the brick, the fireplace is sound. If there are gaps or cracks, there's probably some settling and the fireplace should come down. Consider getting a professional to take a look. A civil engineer would be a good choice for this job. If an all-out demolition is in the works, you're looking at a big job and probably a lot of money. Once the firebox and chimney are gone, you'll be looking at a big hole from foundation to roof. On the outside, the foundation and footing will have to be rebuilt. Then the wall, ceiling and roof must be framed to match the rest of the exterior, the interior ceiling and the roofline. Sheathing, building paper and siding to match the existing exterior wall is next, followed by insulation, drywalling and finishing the interior. Finally, the roof will have to be patched. That is a lot of work to get a little wall space. If you can leave the exterior intact, the project is more manageable. It would in-

volve stripping out the portion of the fireplace that extends into the house and removing the plaster from the wall. We recommend you take off the lath also and insulate the wall before you drywall and finish it. With the wall open it's also a great opportunity to upgrade your electrical system with a few well-placed receptacles. It's also time to install TV cable in the wall. Have the electrician put a plate over the boxes and cover them with a picture until the flat screen appears. As far as value gained or lost, it really depends on what the job is going to cost you. If the fireplace needs total demolition, our guess is that it's going to be cost prohibitive. If the bones of the fireplace can stay, it's probably doable. As far as future value, that depends on the next buyer. Personally, we don't have fireplaces now and don't miss them. So, for us, they have no intrinsic value.
