You Think Your House is Worth WHAT?? Pricing Your Home to Sell

Kat DeLong, REALTOR DRE# 01235311 (RE/MAX LAKESIDE) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:10:46 -0600

Lake Arrowhead Sellers: here is some great adivce.

Via Liz Moras ~Chilliwack Realtor, Chilliwack,Hope,Langley,Abbotsford (Harrison Hot Springs, Cultus Lake):

You Think Your House is Worth WHAT? Pricing Your Home to Sell

O.k., so you've looked on the Internet, you've checked the Real Estate Weekly - and you've talked to your Neighbors. You're pretty sure you know what you WANT your home to be worth. Next step? You call the Realtors in.

Everyone says you should interview 3 Realtors - so that's what you do! And sceptically you await their Verdicts! Does the highest Bid (because that's what it often is) win your Vote? Well it shouldn't and let me tell you why.





                                                  BUT Your neighbor's house just sold for XXXXX!

First of all, Realtors have access to the same information Online. By doing a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) they should be able to come very close to the Range of Your Home's Value. They will see which homes are currently Listed, those that will be in direct competition with Your Home; they will see which comparable homes have Sold recently; and they will ALSO see which homes have 'Expired'....(Listed But Not Sold). That's the Starting Point!

If you use a Local Realtor - which is what I Recommend- they'll also be able to take into consideration different factors about your neighborhood - like development, schools, safety, proximity to transport etc.

                                                            BUT Your House has been upgraded!



Now where no 2 homes are exactly alike - chances are we've seen most of the homes for sale in your area and have an inside view that you may not have seen. Even online photos won't give you a complete view of how these homes compare.

In many ways - it's the Buyer that ultimately determines the value of your home. A house is worth what somebody will pay for it. It's important to try and anticipate what MOST buyers will pay for it. If the price is too high - you may just end remaining THAT Buyer! If your home should be some chance sell for more then the estimated value, remember the home still needs to be Appraised for the Buyer's Loan, and if it's overpriced it just may not!

                                      BUT That's What INEEEEEEEED to Get for My Home!

There is the odd time that a home is unusual and there are not direct comparables, sometimes this requires a trial and error strategy where we have to gage potential buyer responses in order to fine tune the price.

Another factor is the current 'Real Estate market'. Is it a Buyer's market or a Seller's market - or is it balanced? What kind of standing inventory is in the market in your price range. These well all factor in to your pricing.

The value of a home can also be estimated in part using the price per square foot. But you do have to use a sliding scale of adjustment. The 'core' of the home is worth more then the peripheral square footage. ie. the price per sq. foot for a 1000 sq. foot rancher will be higher then that of a 3000sq. ft. basement home.

Should you start higher - after all you can always come down??? No! If you do that you should be charging your competitor a fee for helping them sell THEIR home!

Remember the most critical time for selling your home is in the first 30 days. Longer then that you can bet your bottom dollar, (and unfortunately that's probably what it will end up being) that the Buyer will be paying attention to your 'days on market' when making both their buying decision and price point!

How do you know if your house is priced right? Feedback! Your Realtor will be calling to get feedback on showings from both the Buyer and their Realtor.  If you've had over 6 showings and have been on the market for 3 or so weeks that should give you some idea of what the market thinks. Unusual or high end homes could be the exception here though.

Sometimes the most important factor is YOUR motivation. How motivated are you to sell?   I know a lot of Seller's like to tell us that 'they don't HAVE to sell'.......and in most cases that's true - you don't! But if you do want to sell your homecall a Realtor that knows your market and will be honest with you - because that's what a professional does - they Help you Price Your Home to Sell!







If you or someone you know is thinking of Buying or Selling property in Cultus Lake, Chilliwack, Hope, Abbotsford, Langley or anywhere in the Fraser Valley Area of B.C. - or if you would like more information please give Liz  Moras of Landmark Realty Chilliwack a call at- 604-799-0459 or e-mail at lizmoras@gmail.com.

BUYERS: If you're still sitting on the fence waiting for the deal of the CENTURY... You're about to get left in the dust

Kat DeLong, REALTOR DRE# 01235311 (RE/MAX LAKESIDE) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:41:15 -0600

BUYERS: If you're still sitting on the fence waiting for the deal of the CENTURY... You're about to get left in the dust

I've noticed the past month, tons of activity in the Real Estate Market. At least in my Lake Arrowhead area of the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern CA. Now maybe we're a little different up here because this is a resort area, and MOST buyers are purchasing second homes. That said, I have been showing TONS of property lately and written (honestly, MANY offers) for people wanting a vacation home. This tells me that consumers that watch the "numbers,' are thinking THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO BUY.

For those BUYERS still straddling that wobbly fence, I honestly think if you don't hop off that thing soon, you may miss some good deals. Interest rates are still low great (though the word on the street is that they will be heading up soon).

We have some wonderful Lake Arrowhead homes for sale in our inventory, but inventory is SHRINKING (down about 100 over last year). That is a SIGN times are changing.

So you don't miss out on a great deal, CALL ME! I'll send you a list of listings meeting your criteria.

IT's TIME. Don't get left in the dust!

What Defines Distressed Lake Arrowhead Property?

Kat DeLong, REALTOR DRE# 01235311 (RE/MAX LAKESIDE) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:59:51 -0600

What Defines Distressed Lake Arrowhead Property? (or, any property?)

Though there are many reasons a property may fall into a distressed situation, here are the main ones:

* The property is or may soon be in some stage of the foreclosure process

* The property may be in poor physical condition

* The homeowner has experienced a period of financial instability

A Short Sale May Help You Avoid Foreclosure on your Lake Arrowhead Mountain Home

A Short Sale May Help You Avoid Foreclosure on your Lake Arrowhead Mountain Home

I'm happy to announce that I have earned the designation Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE)after completing extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. Many people do not completely understand the Short Sale process. I was one until I took this training. Now I do and I am looking forward to helping those homeowners who may be suffering financial instability and facing foreclosure. Often there are other options; SHORT SALE.

The Distressed Property Institute opened in January 2008 and provides on-site and online training. The CDPE is the premier designation for Realtors helping homeowners in distress and handling short sales.

If you are in a distressed situation and feel you may be facing foreclosure, please call me today. Time is of the essence!
