Right now, the housing market is full of outstanding opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re thinking of buying your first home, moving up to a bigger one, or selling so you can downsize this spring, there are perks today that are powering big moves for people across the country. Here are the top two to keep on the radar this season.
When thinking about selling, homeowners often feel they need to get their house ready with some remodeling to make it more appealing to buyers. However, with so many buyers competing for available homes right now, renovations may not be as vital as they would be in a more normal market. Here are two things to keep in mind if you’re thinking of selling this season.
There are many financial and non-financial benefits of homeownership, and the greatest financial one is wealth creation. Homeownership has always been the first rung on the ladder that leads to forming household wealth. As Freddie Mac explains:
Congratulations to my sellers! This property had 72 showings, and we received 21 offers after the first weekend! With so many offers, going through them all and making the right decision may seem like a daunting task! After laying out the details in a spreadsheet for them and walking through each one in detail with them, I was able to help them navigate through all the offers and made it easy for them to choose the buyer they wanted to work with!
During these challenging times, it was important for me to electronically market the seller’s property which included staging advice, professional photography, social media posts, a custom website, and a 3-D tour! With these tools, we were able to open the home for just 3 days for showings, reducing the stress on the sellers and their family!
