Price it Right

Home prices continue to rise in Colorado, yet It is important that you price your home right to begin with. You don’t want to overprice it assuming the hot market and low inventory is justification for doing so. Start out with getting a fair market value to determine the right price for your home based on the area it is located in. When you price your home correctly, the competing buyers can automatically raise the price for you. You do not want to risk hurting yourself in the long run if you start out overpriced causing your home to linger on the market longer than necessary.

Appearance-Staging inside and Out

It goes without saying that as long as a home is priced at the fair market value; the better a home shows the faster it sells

Declutter and Depersonalize

You want to pack away or throw away all the extra clutter and personal items; as you want a potential buyer to be able to imagine themselves and their family living in the space. Even too much furniture is considered clutter and needs to be removed to properly stage a home for sale. Removing excess or oversized pieces will make your home appear larger. The more decluttered and depersonalized the faster your home will sell.

Clean Windows

Many Realtors will agree clean windows leads to a faster sale. Cleaning your windows adds to the overall feeling of the space. When the windows are clean and sparkling it gives the home a fresher newer appearance. Most people will not be able to articulate exactly what they are sensing with the windows clean; they just have an overall better feeling about the entire home. Most often they will not even notice the clean windows, but they will if they are dirty. Better they have a good feeling without explanation rather than walking thru or leaving with a bad taste in their mouth.

Staging Interior

Staging is important because so many people don’t have the ability to envision themselves living in a space if they only see four bare walls.

Remove all excess furniture and rearrange sofa and chairs into comfy conversational settings or other unique space settings. Each room or area should have a focal point that feels warm and inviting. Be sure not to push everything against the walls, you can accomplish unique comfortable settings in each room while still making sure there is a clear path to move about and through the space.

Redo any junk or collection rooms by giving them a purpose with value. Even if it is only a clean room staged as a reading room with a comfy chair, a small table and lamp.

Staging Exterior

Begin with cleaning your outdoor space as well. Remove all excess items, any garbage or debris. Trim the bushes and trees, weed the garden. Get rid of any broken or torn furniture or any other unnecessary junk you may have launched out the back door during the winter months. Your exterior space should be equally inviting as your interior. A place that says come play and relax here.

Power wash or at minimum hose down the exterior of the house cleaning off any cobwebs, dirt, and dust or anything else that may be clinging to those walls.

Incentives -Everyone likes to save a buck or make a buck!

At Colorado Flat Fee Realty there are incentives for both the home seller and buyer. The sellers save and the buyers earn.

The home seller can take advantage of paying less on their listing fee with a flat fee listing if you are selling only or a commission free listing if you are considering both selling and buying a new home. Sellers receive full real estate services (a state-regulated law) as well as a discounted listing fee to save thousands resulting in keeping more of their equity.

The home buyer; especially in the $350,000 range and lower will typically be more first-time purchasers who may need or simply choose to opt for financial assistance. Colorado Flat Fee Realty Inc. offers two programs for buyers. One is help with a down payment assistance program that provides up to $19,000 that never has to be paid back. The other is a buyer’s rebate program that may be actual cash back at closing to be used in any manner the buyer sees fit or in some cases can be used towards closing cost. $3500 cash back on a $350,000 home is certainly a motivating incentive for one to choose to buy your home over another.

There is financial help for Millennial home buyers, whether it is your first home or next home in Denver’s smoking hot real estate market. Mortgage programs, free down payment assistance (available for any age group), tax credits, and cash-back incentives make the greater Denver area fertile ground for Millennial Home Buyers who wish to purchase a home of their own. The housing sales from this generation have steadily risen in 2015 and are expected to continue well into and beyond 2016. Millennials also referred to as Gen Y ranging in age from around 26-41 are America’s future. It has been incorrectly reported that this particular generation does not desire to own a place. Contrary to the naysayers, recent reports and other surveys published by Bloomberg Business shows that most Millennials genuinely desire to be homeowners. Research from a national housing site found that Millennial real estate investment is escalating and will continue to rise; as 42% are actually more interested in homeownership than generations before them and are seeking to buy in the next one to five years.

Colorado Flat Fee Realty, Inc. offers you 35 + years of experience in full realtor services along with a home buyers cash back rebate program * and you can use the money for anything you choose.

What is a Home Valuation Estimate?

Our home valuation site can help you gain knowledge about the value of your home taking into consideration the conditions of the market in the area. Knowing the value of your property is essential when you are preparing to list it for sale. As a home seller, having a licensed broker perform a market analysis so you know what your home is worth to correctly determine a sales price, is the most useful application of a home valuation.

How does a Home Valuation Estimate Work?

Other sold or for-sale properties in your neighborhood may help determine a fair price for your house, yet they do not necessarily reflect the real value of your home. The value of your home is not always equal to what other homes in the area are selling or have sold for. For example, let’s say the average sales price of a house in your neighborhood might be $450,000; the value of your home and the final sales price could be higher or lower. There are many variables; for instance, a potential home buyer may find a costly problem in your home during an inspection that you might not have been aware of. Or they may find your home loaded with upgrades even though it may be similar to others in the area in style or model. Depending on many situations the true value of your home could be lower or higher than actual sales prices in the area.

What is the Difference Between Home Valuation and an Appraisal

As a home seller, you may or may not be required to obtain an appraisal as a condition of the sale of your home. An appraisal is most often required by a mortgage lender when the purchaser is applying for a commercial, VA, or FHA loan to secure the funds to close on your home. The buyer’s lending institution often dictates the choice of who performs the appraisal and is generally reported on a standardized form like the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report. This is to ensure the mortgage lender that the amount they loan on the property in addition to down payment requirements is equal to the true home value.

Appraisal reports are typically used to set the sale price of a property as they form the basis for mortgage loans. An appraisal report contains much greater detail than a home valuation or market analysis; as it is the process of developing an opinion of value for real property by a certified, licensed appraiser. The appraiser takes into account many factors regarding the uniqueness of your home, its location as well as the cause of the sale.

Appraisal reports are typically based on several different types of value as well as using one of the three cost approaches to determine value.
