New Year’s Resolutions for Home SellersWith every New Year comes a raft of noble New Year’s resolutions – eat healthier, join a gym, quit smoking, save money, manage debt and the list goes on. However, if you’re thinking about selling your home in 2015, then here are some resolutions that could help boost your chances of a swift and successful sale.
Avoid over-spending on renovationsSometimes people will look to renovate their home prior to selling with the intention of adding extra value. However it pays to tread carefully, mammoth makeovers are very risky and it’s best not to try and anticipate what buyers want in terms of décor and design. Remember that renovations don’t necessarily translate to market value. Smaller and more aff ordable ways to add value to your home could be as simple as replacing door handles or updating kitchen cabinetry.
Don’t neglect minor repairsIt’s a wise idea to set aside a few weekends to fix those pesky pieces that need to be repaired. Whether it be that dripping tap or small crack in the wall - ensure that they
aren’t a symptom of a larger problem that will crop up in a builders report. Rope in a friend or family member to take a tour through your home. Ask them what imper-fections meet the eye and make sure they are brutally honest. They will pick up on things that potential home owners will also notice.
Always be one step aheadIt’s important that you don’t let your future plans get lost in the whirlwind of selling your home. It’s best to be prepared for where you will be going once your home has sold - especially if it sells quickly! On the other hand, you also need to prepare yourself with a plan B if your home doesn’t sell quite as quickly as you anticipated.
Thinking AloudA very warm and sunny welcome to 2015! That’s Christmas and New Year celebrations done and dusted for another year.
Reflecting on 2014 – wow – what a ride. From our perspective we saw more people move into new homes than the previous two years. In other words for us it was a year of growth. I hope 2014 was a happy year for you and that you met your personal (and career) goals and objectives.
So what’s in store for 2015? I can see a productive, positive and exciting year ahead. For a start, fuel prices are at a five year low. As that’s one of our major household expenses, for some it could be seen as the equivalent to an interest rate cut. As for rates, they look likely to remain constant until at least September. House prices will always rise and fall based upon demand so ownership will be a function of determination. I still believe that it comes down to the individual. First-home buyers will always struggle to grab that last rail on the ladder but existing owners will always benefit as values rise.
Speaking of selling – that’s what we love doing! It’s our specialty area - the more the merrier! We’re here when you need us.
