While many people planning for Christmas there are a number of people who are focused on finding a home during this festive season of goodwill towards all men. I thought that 3 quick tips for buying a home in Mesa AZ would be good right about now.
Christmas tip ONE for buying a home in Mesa AZ: When you are looking at homes that are occupied during this time of year there is a good chance that they will be decorated. When it comes to Christmas trees, remember that a Christmas tree will make a home feel smaller.
Christmas trees can take up a significant amount of space in a room and many people will have more than one. Sometimes a large tree will be in the living room and a smaller tree in another room.
Christmas tip TWO for buying a home in Mesa AZ: Don’t forget that Christmas and New Year’s decorations can cover up defects. Many times homeowners want to forget about that hole in the carpet or wall. And they place their Christmas tree or packaged decorated painting over a known defect.
I always recommend that a buyer disclose in the listing if they have temporarily covered up a known issue but buyers should ask the right questions to make sure they are aware of potential issues.
Christmas tip THREE for buying a home in Mesa AZ: Don’t let tinsel distract you from looking at the home. I have walked away from a home and asked a buyer what they thought and got the response back – “wow that home was really well decorated”.
That may have been the case but after you look past the decorations could you see yourself living in that home?
Don’t write an offer just because you know how good it will look once a year. You need to be able to see yourself in the home, with you furniture and family.
