Staging Facts for Home Sellers

 

 Staging facts for home sellers

 If you really want results and would love to stand out above the competition when you sell your property, then consider hiring a professional home stager.

A small investment in staging can result in a much higher price for your home.

 Birgit Anich is a professional stager and lifestyle market specialist. The results from her expertise are amazing.  Check out her website www.BirgitAnich.com

Here is what she has to say about home staging and the local real estate market.

                                                                     How to Reveal the True Value of Your Home

When selling real estate – or any other product – there are always two sides that need to be considered. There is a difference between the PRICE and the VALUE of a property.

1. The PRICE is the amount of money you are asking for the property.

2. The VALUE is whether the buyer perceives that your property is worth or desirable for that price.

The perceived value is influenced by many factors, such as location, condition, features, appeal, and comparison to other listings in your market area. If your house has been on the market for some time and you have not received offers or not the offer that you desired to achieve, this is an indication that the buyers do not perceive the value of your property worth the price you are offering it for.

When selling your house you are in business and it is important to understand today’s real estate buyers and what they consider valuable in their decision when making their single largest expense. Buyers today are not buying the same way as buyers from just a few years ago. Due to a large selection of homes available to them on the market, buyers can afford being picky and in what they want to have. So what are some things buyers looking for?

• A move-in-ready home: most buyers do not want to purchase projects when they make their single largest expense. They want to be able to move in and immediately continue with their life without having to spend more money and time.
• Buyers are looking for a lifestyle. They do not just buy a house, they buy a home, a lifestyle they are dreaming of.
• Updated kitchen and bathrooms
• High-end finishes for appliances
• Curb appeal

So, what does this mean for you as the home seller? Are you showing your house at its best value to your buyers?

What are some of the things you can do to reveal the true value of your house?

1. Take care of all repairs.
2. Hire a real estate agent – pricing is their expertise.

3. Consult with a professional home stager on how to prepare your house for sale to show the maximum value to your target buyers. The home stager will consult you not only on how to update most cost efficiently different areas to achieve the highest return on investment, but also how you make your property stand out from your competition.

4. Update your kitchen and bathrooms. Your home stager can work with you on the best way to achieve the updated look without breaking your bank. Believe it or not, there are many ways to update a bathroom without having to completely renovate.

5. Arrange for a pre-listing home inspection. You show buyers that you have addressed any defects and thus add value and weight to your disclosure statement. It will eliminate or reduce buyers’ concerns.

6. The curb appeal gives the first impression when driving up to your house – make sure that this impression is a lasting one, so buyers get excited to visit your property. Consider hiring a professional landscaper.

7. Never sell a house vacant – real estate gurus will tell you that trying to sell a house empty is one of the biggest mistakes. But don’t just put any furniture in. Remember you are selling a lifestyle and added value to stand out from your competition. The right choice of furniture, furniture placement, accessories, artwork, lighting, rugs are critical for your success as each item that you add sends buyers a conscious and unconscious message to feel connected with the house. Call a professional home stager who specializes in vacant real estate staging.

Once you show buyers the maximum VALUE the house will sell faster and buyers are willing to pay more. The spring real estate market is just around the corner. Right now is the best time for you to get prepared to show the maximum value of YOUR house and consult with a professional stager. Don’t take the “let’s see how it goes and if it does not work, we can still hire a stager later” attitude. The most traffic drawn into your house will be within the first 2-4 weeks. If you don’t get the attention of buyer’s real estate agents and buyers looking online, you are wasting all this time on the market. Your house will then become a stale listing that they will not come back to visit, even if you have made changes. You then just compete on price and not the true value of your home. So, act BEFORE putting your house on the market and show it at its best value right away.

Fairfield County Real Estate News Update 2012

Real Estate News Update 2012

 Happy New Year! What does the local real estate market hold for us this year?

Does anyone really know? With first time buyers’ dipping their toes in the water, my guess is that it should be an active year in real estate. The rental market is still strong, but rents are increasing at such a pace that smart qualified buyers should be choosing to purchase a home instead of rent.

 Let’s take a look at what is really happening out there in our local real estate market. I believe our current local real estate market has faired better then the rest of the country. We haven’t seen as many foreclosures as the rest of the country and our job market have shown signs of picking up. Here are a few statistics from Consolidated Multiple Listing system.

 As we enter 2012 I can tell you that Norwalk’s housing market is showing signs of stability but the banks are still being cautious and reserved with their lending.  In January of 2011 there were 327 single family homes on the market and 194 condominiums for sale.  January of 2012 shows single family inventory at 320 and condominium inventory at 198. That is a slight decline in single family numbers. Condo numbers show a slight increase in the inventory.

 Norwalk home sales are down from last year. 505 single family homes and 227 condos sold in 2010. Sales from 2011 are showing 440 single family homes and 192 condos sold for the year. This could be attributed to more people renting last year than purchasing.

 Norwalk’s last quarter is showing the following numbers: 101 Single family homes sold and 44 condos. These numbers are very similar to the June- October quarter.

 Westport’s housing numbers are also down. Current inventory shows 229 single family and 13 condos for sale this year.  They are also reporting a decrease of home sales for 2011. 350 single family homes sold in 2010. 2011 is reporting sales of 344 single family homes, but condo sales are up from 23 sold in 2010 to 35 sold in 2011.

 Wilton single family sales numbers are up from last year! Current inventory shows 132 single family and 9 condos for sale. 165 Single family homes and 25 condos sold here in 2010. Sales for 2011 are showing 177 Single family homes sold along with 17 condos.

Last quarters numbers are as follows: Single family homes – 35, but no condo sales last quarter.

 As 2011 progressed the housing prices continued to slump. Our prices have declined 25 to 30% from the high point of the housing market. Mortgage rates and home prices are at an all time low and there are fantastic deals to be had. Short sales are still coming on the market and if you have some patience you can score a great buy!

The Holidays are a perfect time to sell your home!

The Holidays are a perfect time to sell your home!

With all of the chaos that happens between now and New Year’s, it seems it would be crazy to put a house up for sale during the winter. But smart sellers know it may just be the perfect time to put up the “for sale” sign. We are actually seeing momentum building for first time home buyers. The phone is ringing and hopefully it is a sign that the housing industry is moving forward. Many people often make the mistake of wanting to buy or sell when everyone else is buying and selling. Don’t follow the status quo, real estate deals happen at anytime through out the year.

This time of the year brings back wonderful memories of purchasing our own home in West Norwalk right before Christmas. We negotiated a great deal, closed on the house and moved our family in on December 15th. We immediately decorated, hung up the stockings, put up a tree and enjoyed a lovely Christmas in our new home.

I always recommend to our clients that they don’t take their homes off the market when winter rolls around. It’s my experience, both personal and professional, that buyers who are looking at homes during this time of year are very serious and I have watched homes sell right before the holidays. So when you truly have motivated buyers and sellers you shouldn’t close your doors just before Thanksgiving and open them again until mid January. Buyers that are willing to give of their time and perform the due diligence required during this period are really serious about closing that deal.

Make it as easy as possible to have a showing. Even if you have to make sure the property is totally accessible by removing snow. People will want to still walk around and inspect the perimeter of your house. Don’t decline showings and don’t put time limits on them. It’s a numbers game. The more people you get in the door, the better chance of selling your home. An informed seller knows the inventory is at its lowest right now. Many sellers are getting nervous and either renting their homes or just taking them off the market. Buyers want and are looking for  fresh inventory.

We are finding that families often come back to where they grew up during the holiday season. And if they’re thinking of making a move back, now is the time they will be looking and having that all important real estate conversation over holiday dinner with their family.

All of us at Bondi Realty want to wish you a wonderful holiday season, filled with happiness, good health and prosperity!

Making Home Affordable – Mortgage help for Homeowners

Help for Homeowners – Home Affordable Refinance Program

 Our housing market is so unpredictable these days. One minute it looks like things are going to improve and the next day it seems like housing doomsday is coming! What are you supposed to do as a buyer or seller when you are not sure what the future holds? The worst thing is to sit tight and do nothing. The housing market for buyers is screaming to let you know the deals are on! As for sellers there is help for you too! What happens when you are struggling to make ends meet? Wouldn’t it be great if you could refinance your mortgage at a much lower rate even if your home is worth less than what you presently owe? There is a loan program out there right now that can make your life more comfortable.

 The first thing that you need to do is see if you have a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae mortgage. You can do this by going on their websites www.FreddieMac.com  and click on the Do We Own Your Mortgage link.  The Fannie Mae website is www.FannieMae.com  click on Helping Homeowners and Communities, then click on Fannie Mae loan lookup. If your mortgage is owned by either Freddie or Fannie then you may be eligible for the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).

 What is the HARP Refinance program about? Here is some information that can help you refinance your present home mortgage by reducing your present interest rate to a much lower current rate if you are eligible.

 What is a Refinance?

 With this option, you receive a completely new mortgage with new terms, interest rates and monthly payments. The new loan completely replaces your current mortgage and may lower your payment, which could help improve your monthly financial situation.

 Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)

 If you are current on your mortgage and have been unable to obtain a traditional refinance because the value of your home has declined, you may be eligible to refinance through HARP. HARP is designed to help you refinance into a new affordable, more stable mortgage. The HARP loan is a new loan and will require a loan application and underwriting process. Loan refinance fees will apply.

 Eligibility 
You may be eligible to apply if you meet all of the following:

 You have a mortgage owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

You must have secured your current mortgage prior to June 1^st, 2009.

You do not have an FHA, VA or USDA loan.

You are current on your mortgage payments and have not been more than 30 days late making a payment over the last year.

The refinance will improve the long term affordability or stability of your mortgage.

You have the ability to make the new payments.

Eligibility criteria are for guidance only. Contact your mortgage servicer to see if you qualify for HARP.

 Program Availability

 The HARP program is offered by many servicers. Homeowners should check with their mortgage servicer to determine if they are participating in HARP. If their mortgage servicer is not participating, the homeowner may contact other lenders that participate in HARP to determine if they are eligible for a refinance.

 For More Information

 Contact your current lender first as they may have incentives that will keep closing cost affordable. If you have additional questions about getting mortgage help, contact a housing advisor at (888 -995-HOPE) or go their website.            www.makinghomeaffordable.gov

Short Sale Tips for Home Sellers

Short Sale Tips for Home Sellers

Are you thinking of selling your home and the market value is less than you owe?

If so, then you are selling your home as a short sale. There are many short sale homes on the market these days. The good thing is that most of the banks have figured out how to process the deals in a much quicker timeline than in the past. However it still takes more time than a traditional transaction.

A short sale is one where the net proceeds from the sale won’t cover your total mortgage and closing costs and you don’t have other sources of money to cover the deficiency.

A short sale will impact your credit score less than a foreclosure.

If you are thinking of selling your home and feel you may qualify for a short sale follow the steps below before making any decisions on your own. The following advice is a compilation from several different sources including attorneys, mortgage professionals and accountants.

Consider Loan modification first.

If you are thinking of selling your property because of financial difficulties, first contact your lender to see if there are any programs to help you stay in your home.

Your lender may agree to a modification such as refinancing your loan at a lower interest rate or provide a different payment plan.

When a loan modification still isn’t enough to relieve your financial problems, a short sale could be your best option if your property is worth less than the total mortgage you owe on it especially if you may have a financial hardship, such as a job loss or major medical bills. Contact your lender and see if they are willing to entertain a short sale.

Hiring a qualified team is the difference between being successful or not.

The first step to a short sale is to hire a qualified real estate professional and a real estate attorney who specialize in short sales. Short sales have increased in the last few years, so make sure the real estate professional and attorney that you hire has had extensive experience and closed a lot of short sales. It is important that you work with professionals that have a thorough working knowledge of the short sale process and won’t try to pressure you to do something that isn’t in your best interest.

A qualified real estate professional can provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) or broker price opinion (BPO). Help you set an appropriate listing price for your home, market the home, and get it sold. Place special language in the MLS that indicates your home is a short sale and that lender approval is needed. Ease the process of working with your lender or lenders. Negotiate the contract with the home buyers. Help you put together the short-sale package to send to your lender (or lenders, if you have more than one mortgage) for approval.

It’s a good idea to gather documentation before any offers come in. Your lender or Short Sale Specialist will give you a list of documents required to consider a short sale. The short-sale package that accompanies any offer typically must include a hardship letter detailing your financial situation and why you need the short sale. Also include a copy of the purchase contract and listing agreement, proof of your income and assets and copies of your federal income tax returns for the past two years. Buyers must be prepared for a lengthy waiting period.

Even if you’re well organized and have all the documents in place, be prepared for a long process. Waiting for your lender’s review of the short-sale package can take anywhere from several weeks to months. With only one mortgage, the review can take about two months. Two mortgages with the same lender, the review can take about three months. With two or more mortgages with different lenders, it can take four months or longer. When the bank does finally respond, it can approve the short sale, make a counteroffer, or deny the short sale. The last two actions can lengthen the process or put you back at square one. Even if your lender does approve the short sale, it may not be the end of all your financial concerns.

Keep in mind are you may be asked by your lender to sign a promissory note agreeing to pay back the amount of your loan not paid off by the short sale. Every lender handles the situation differently. Any amount of your mortgage that is forgiven by your lender is typically considered income, and you may have to pay taxes on that amount. Consulting with your experienced short-sale team will get you the best possible advice for your situation. Bondi Realty Group LLC has the expertise you can count on. Call us today, we want to help you with your short sale and make it as stress free as possible!

Now is the time to Buy Real Estate Investment Property!!

It’s time to buy real estate investment property!

 Have you been thinking about purchasing an investment property?

Stop thinking …….its time to buy right now! The demand for rental property is at an all time high and will continue in this direction for some time.

 My extensive experience with investment properties has been both interesting and educational. There is much to learn and if done correctly can be a very lucrative financial move. You can purchase a property, rent it out and resell it when the housing market picks up or you can keep it long term, pay it off and produce income for retirement.

 There are several housing options in residential real estate. You can purchase a condominium, multi family or single family home as an investment property.

 Let’s look at condominiums. These can be the easiest properties to start with. The first thing to do if you are considering a condo is to make sure the complex allows you to rent out your unit.

If they do, then see what other units similar to yours receive for rent. If the rental income covers your mortgage, common charge and taxes then this would make a great investment. The beauty of owning a condo is that you are only responsible for the inside of your condo. You don’t need to worry about outside maintenance including exterior painting, landscaping or snow plowing.

 What do you think of a multi family? Well there are several ways to work with this idea. Let’s say you are looking at a two family home. You can live in one unit and rent out the other. You can use the money you get from the other unit to put towards your mortgage payment every month. If you don’t have a big budget for a home purchase this can expand your buying power and make it more financially comfortable to live every month. You can also purchase the two family home and rent out both apartments. If you decide to do this make sure that the numbers work. There are formulas to use that will let you know if the rents will cover all expenses.

 The deals are out there on even single family homes. If you found a home that needs little updating, you can rent it out for a very nice price these days. A three bedroom home can rent for $2500 to $3500 per month depending on condition and location.

 As this housing market continues to stabilize, smart people are out there making deals and adding to their real estate holdings. If you are thinking of making an investment, you too should consider a rental property. We can educate and locate these properties for you! Contact us today!!

July 2011 Real Estate News – Second quarter statistics

 

  The State of the Market Second Quarter 2011

 Can you believe it summer already? Every person that I come in contact with wants to know what is really going on with housing. I can give you the report from our area and it is not all bad news! Home sales in the first quarter have shown a slight gain overall compared to last year. However home sales in this second quarter increased in Norwalk and most of the surrounding towns. Rental prices are beginning to increase as some buyers are still reluctant to make a commitment and purchase a home at this time. Perhaps if rental prices climb high enough, home buyers may decide to jump back into the market.

 Investors should keep their eyes open and grab some of the great opportunities that present themselves in today’s real estate market. You can buy a nicely maintained single family home, spruce it up, rent it out and actually make some money until the housing market comes back. There is a tremendous demand for nice rental properties and clients are paying top dollars for remodeled homes.

 Here are a few statistics from Consolidated Multiple Listing system.

Home sales are up for the second quarter 125 single family homes and 55 condominiums sold. We are heading into our summer market and there is simply no way to tell how it will fair. If you are qualified and ready to buy, you can get a great deal at this time.

 Westport and Wilton properties are pretty hot right now as prices are down significantly from last year. This has led to an increase of sales in these towns. Here are the related numbers for these communities.

 Inventory is up in Westport as they are currently showing an inventory of 379 single family homes and 30 condominiums on the market.

Fabulous SoNo

Fabulous SoNo

Norwalk has many reasons to celebrate its city. As a lifelong resident, I know what this city has to offer. One of the most successful and popular spots in town is in South Norwalk also known as SoNo. From it’s hey day in the early 1900’s to its depressed state in the 70’s. SoNo has now been resurrected to a new grandeur.

SoNo represents the vibrancy of Norwalk. It’s a wonderful place to live, visit and relax. From its night life, boutique shops and art galleries to its waterfront activities there is so much to do here. It is definitely a destination for all.

SoNo has all sorts of real estate to purchase. There are charming old buildings that have been renovated into luxury condominiums, to newly constructed modern buildings with all types of amenities. The exposed brick, large full view windows and water views are the reason why people love the architecture. They come in all sorts of price points starting in the lower two hundred thousand range up to one million plus for penthouse suite overlooking the water. Buyers are flocking to this area as they know the value of these properties and what they have to offer. SoNo also has a mix of commercial and multifamily dwellings as well.

You can also rent properties in SoNo too! At this time there is a real demand for apartments in this area. There are lovely rentals starting at $1350 and up depending on your space requirements. The rental market is bringing many young college graduates who are working in the area. They all want to live in SoNo as it is the only place to be and it gives them a sort of SoHo experience without being in New York City. Within walking distance to the South Norwalk train station you can be in Manhattan in 45 minutes.

The SoNo Design District is working to bring the best in retail and restaurants to the area for all to enjoy. They have a fabulous website www.sonodesigndistrict.net that gives a pretty good explanation on what SoNo has to offer.

One of the biggest tourist destinations is Maritime Aquarium and IMAX Theater. You can see the local marine life, exhibits, and learn about the past too. It is very popular and a great place to take the family. If you are a history buff then head on over to the Norwalk Museum on North Main Street. You will find a museum full of history including collections from the past and a tremendous amount of photos and archives from days of long ago. If you want some of the best and trendiest dining in town then this is the place to be. There are no chain restaurants here. Every dining establishment are mom and pop businesses. There is a food style for every budget and taste. Some of my favorites are Donovans, Barcelona and Strada 18. If you need a chocolate fix then head on over to Chocopologie on South Main Street. My favorite chocolate treat is the caramel with sea salt. Yum!

A fun thing to do on a summer day is to take a boat ride out to the Historical Sheffield Island Lighthouse. You can pick up the boat at the Seaport Dock right before the bridge in SoNo. The Norwalk Seaport Association has a new 49 passenger ferry boat just waiting to be chartered. For more information please check out their website www.seaport.org.

As SoNo keeps growing with residential and commercial opportunities I feel that it will continue to be a great place to invest and live. For more information on fabulous SoNo please contact us today!

Buyers Avoid Fixer Upper Homes – May 2011

Bondi Realty Group Norwalk article May 2011

Buyers avoid fixer uppers

In the overheated housing market of the past, buyers felt that they had to accept homes even though they were in inferior condition but these days, most view an as- is property and run the other way.

Buyers have little or no tolerance for homes that need fixing up. They want to walk into the picture perfect home and just move in. A move in condition home is in the number one position when buying a property today. One factor that is the main cause is the tight lending by the banking industry. Buyers must put down more money as a down payment, resulting in less money to fix up their new home.

This is absolutely the story of today’s market. Buyers will pay a premium to get a home in move in condition. They will even engage in a bidding war just to avoid buying a project house. As a result we strongly advise homeowners to remodel before listing their home to get the best price and fastest sale possible.

We recommend against major renovations, such as replacing the kitchen and baths.

Sellers shouldn’t risk spending more than they’d get back in the sale price. This can be true with major kitchen and bath renovations because they are such a personalized taste.

There are however ways to spruce up kitchens and baths without blowing your budget. Think about replacing or painting cabinet doors and hardware. Install a new faucet, countertop and sink. In the bath, add a new toilet, fresh paint and new grout. These small changes can make a big difference when selling your home.

On the other hand, major maintenance and safety issues such as underground oil tanks and leaky roofs, heating and air conditioning must be dealt with before the home goes on the market because buyers are unwilling to take them on. These issues can be discovered and dealt with by having a home inspector come in prior to listing your home. You will now be prepared that your home will pass inspection and increase the chance that your sale will go through.

Beyond those kinds of headaches, sellers can make a big difference with simple and relatively inexpensive fixes: painting the walls, getting rid of clutter and pulling up carpets to show the hardwood floors that buyers crave.

Curb appeal is extremely important. Spruce up the front yard and entryway to make a good first impression. Trim the bushes, cut the grass, plant fresh colorful flowers in the garden and in pretty glazed pots. Give the front door a fresh coat of paint.

Getting rid of clutter is absolutely essential. A buyer needs to envision how the house will look with their items in place. Do an intense deep cleaning. This is a very cost effective step that is extremely necessary. You’ve got to clean it out sometime; if you do it now, it’s going to benefit you financially. If sellers can’t or won’t prepare their homes for the market then they will have to lower their expectations on price.

Sellers – If you are looking for the best real estate agents in the business, look no further than Bondi Realty Group LLC. We can provide the best service in the business to you! Please contact us for your personalized free market analysis today. Our coverage area includes Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Westport & Wilton, CT.
