Accounts From the Assistant:
As with everything else in life, things are starting to be geared towards the next generation. The demographic for most of the interaction listings have been receiving are mainly men and women between 25-35 years old. With the way the market has been in favor of first time home buyers, I have noticed an increase in many people taking property in finding a home to invest in. At the top of my head, I can think of 13 friends all 25-26 building or in the market of buying a home within the year!
However, with the amount of the younger generation in the market looking for homes, there are some measures potential sellers may want to take in order to increase the appeal of their home.
If you read my post from the other week: https://activerain.com/droplet/5qcQ
Then you know my standpoint on the importance of updated kitchens when attempting to attract buyers (the attached link is for the previous blog). There are several other components that can help seal the deal. If you can say that your home’s neighborhood is of high quality, close to employers, affordable, close to prospective Buyer’s family/friends, close to shopping, high-quality schools, appealing neighborhood design, close to entertainment & leisure activities, close to parks/recreation, larger lot availability, close to health care, in a planned community, convenient to public transportation and airports, then you will likely rise to the top as your home sticks out from the competition. You will find that you will have a better opportunity to sell a home for top dollar and relatively fast when you have presented your well-priced home, in its best light. If the home you have for sale does not rate in meeting all these neighborhood characteristics then work with your Real Estate Agent to best position your home for sale, so you are not a statistic of those homeowners whose home didn’t sell, but rather expired.
As always hope you enjoy these thoughts.
