To-Do List 4 before-you-sell projects that pay for themselves

F

or buyers, the greatest joy of buying and moving into a new home is that new, nothing-needsdone feeling. But if a seller doesn’t have newness to offer but rather a bunch of faulty features, the buyers may be scarce.

“Most people want to move in [to a home] and have the work already done,” says Jann Seal, a sales associate with Exit Realty Premier in Wellington, Florida.

If you’re getting ready to sell, here are four pre-listing preparations to get your house ready for buyers 1. Touch-Ups The easiest thing a homeowner can do to make his or her property more attractive is to touch up the little things. This includes restructuring anything with a functionality problem.

Examples include fixing broken doors or cabinets or replacing failing windows. Replace any broken screens too, if more than the window frame is broken. And don’t forget the outside.

“The most common suggestion we make is for color to be added to the exterior either in the form of flowers or 4

through painting,” says Scott Newman, of Newman Realty in Chicago. You should also depersonalize the property. “Remove all personal photographs. Take the magnets off the refrigerator,” Seal says. “Let the potential buyer imagine himself, his family and his belongings in the house.”

2. Painting Painting may not be the first thing on a seller’s mind; but it can completely change the look of a home.

In addition to outside touch-ups, fresh coats on the interior can transform the way someone feels when walking into a room. Seal says neutral colors are the best. “Latte or dove gray gives the rooms a clean, modern feel,” she says. “Keep the trim white.”

Adds Todd Polinchock, a realtor with Keller Williams Realty, Doylestown, Pennsylvania: “Paint is worth its weight in gold.”

3. Carpets and Flooring Alongside paint, new flooring affords the homeowners the opportunity to change the look and feel of a property.

Both Newman and Polinchock suggest replacing old carpet, noting it’s a “relatively small” investment compared to other home repairs, and since stained or dated carpet can be an eyesore to potential buyers, The same goes for hardwood flooring. Though it is more expensive per square foot than carpeting – the World Floor Covering Association says carpet can start at just $2 per square foot installed, with wood starting at $6 per square foot installed — a study using data from the National Association of Realtors found that buyers are willing to spend more than $2,000 more on a house with hardwood flooring than a house without. Both routes will make your house look much newer, but if replacement is not an option, try to find a cost-effective professional cleaning method to get flooring looking as fresh as possible 4. Updates The largest project a seller needs to worry about is updating the house that’s for sale. Ask your agent about what items or systems in your home

RE-Weekly.com

need to be upgraded to compete with comparable houses. It could be anything from kitchen upgrades (new countertops or appliances) or bathroom updates (new sinks, faucets and showerheads).

“Today’s buyer is increasingly interested in modern, sexy upgrades from a much more expensive home and are the kinds of things their friends will say ‘oh’ and ‘ah’ to when they come over,” Newman says. “People love an eye-catching backsplash in the kitchen and hotelstyle bathroom upgrades that look like something out of a five-star spa.”

While pricey updates may make your home attractive to buyers, Seal recommends not going overboard.

Though many projects can recoup a significant portion of their cost, rarely do they recoup their full cost, according to Remodeling magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report.

Instead of a full-on upgrade, Polinchock suggests picking one or two items to replace.

“It’s about making those changes [that] will give you the best chance to sell in.

Shop Around?

Question:

I always see that mortgage borrowers are advised to “shop around.” I have now spoken with a number of lenders and their offers are pretty much identical. With the internet grinding down mortgage rates, is extensive shopping still important?

Answer:

Offers that are “pretty much identical” are not identical. Small difference in rates and terms can mean much bigger expenses for borrowers.

In August, the National Association of Realtors reported that the typical existing home sold for $253,500. Let’s say we buy such a property with 5 percent down ($12,675). The mortgage will be for $240,825.

Let’s consider mortgage offers from two lenders. One is at 4 percent and another is at 4.25 percent. Doesn’t seem like a lot but after five years, the 4 percent loan will have an interest cost of $45,979 while the financing at 4.25 percent will have a cost of $48,945. Same mortgage amount but a difference of $2,966 in interest costs in the first five years.

Think about it this way: How many hours would you have to work in order to earn almost $3,000? A few extra hours spent mortgage shopping could be very profitable.

You can compare mortgages with different rates by going to the page put up by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/owning-ahome/explore-rates/.

If rates were the only difference between lenders then things would be fairly simple but that’s not the case.

For instance, not all lenders offer the same mortgage programs. If you want to buy a home, fix it up and not get two mortgages, then you may want to look at the FHA 203K program or Fannie Mae’s HomeStyle Renovation loans. Both

Q& A

ASK OUR BROKER

By Peter G. Miller

loans only require one closing to buy and fix-up a property, something that can save thousands of dollars in closing costs when compared with one mortgage to buy the property and a second for repairs.

Also, it turns out that not all lenders have the same underwriting criteria. It may be that a loan program allows borrowers to use as much as 43 percent of their monthly income for debts. Some may be more conservative and only allow as much as 42 percent for the debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, a process called “buffering” or “layering.”

The idea of speaking with several lenders is not meant to cause misery, instead it’s intended to help borrowers ask questions, poke around, and get better mortgages. If you won’t shop around then the lender will have every advantage, and that could be very costly.

Selling Your Home During the Holidays

A C T I V E A D U LT C O M M U N I T Y

Home buyers looking to make a move are typically more serious at this time of year. If they're willing to head out and deal with the weather, and put a stop to their holiday celebrating to shop for a home, they're usually determined to find one and fast. Some home sellers see December as a time to kind of 'stop selling'. This is a bad move. Even if your home is seen by one home buyer during December, that home buyer could very well be the 'one'. Don't turn away showings or reschedule them if you can help it. Keep in mind that this winter may be a very motivated time for home buyers due to the home buyer tax credit.

Craftsman style homes for those 55 and better.

• New phase, new home plans!

• Starting in the mid $300’s • 3 beds, 2 baths designs • Single level detached homes • Granite slab countertops • Maintained yards, community lodge • Homes from 1,299 to 2,567 sqft • 2 furnished model homes

877.769.8070 • LandedGentry.com

Contact Rebecca 360-982-8964, Rebecca@LandedGentry.com or Mary 360-708-6763, Mary@LandedGentry.com Sales office is open Wed-Sun 12-5 (closed 12/23 & 12/24). Directions: I-5 to Mount Vernon; Exit 225, East on Anderson Road to 4 way stop. Proceed straight on LaVenture to E Division St; Right on E Division St to South 48th St.

We say in the real estate industry that "Winter brings out the most serious buyers." This is true. If a home buyer has a rental lease expiring or must move due to divorce, death or relocation, they will buy at Christmas.

Keep your house ready to be sold regardless of the season, weather or holiday. You just never know who will be buying your home for the holidays, and they will be living in this home all year round.
