2 Things Sellers Need To Know This Spring

, , , , , , ,
 
 

A lot has changed over the past year, and you might be wondering what’s in store for the spring housing market.

If you’re planning to sell your house this season, here’s what real estate experts are saying you should keep in mind.

1. Houses That Are Priced Right Are Still Selling

Houses that are updated and priced at their current market value are still selling. Jeff Tucker, Senior Economist at Zillow, says:

“. . . sellers who price and market their home competitively shouldn’t have a problem finding a buyer.”

The need to price your house right is so important today because the market has changed so much over the past year. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at realtor.com, explains:

“With a smaller pool of buyers today and more competition from other homes on the market, homesellers will likely need to adjust their price expectations in the market this spring.”

While this spring housing market is different than last year’s, sellers with proper expectations who lean on a real estate expert for the best advice on pricing their house well are still finding success. And that’s great news if you’re thinking about selling.

2. Buyers Are Still Out There

As mortgage rates have risen and remain volatile, some buyers have pressed pause on their plans. But there are still plenty of reasons people are buying homes today. Lisa Sturtevant, Chief Economist at Bright MLS, spells out the mindset of today’s buyers:

“For some buyers, higher mortgage rates simply means buying a home is out of the question unless home prices fall. For others, higher mortgage rates will be a hurdle but ultimately will not keep them from getting back into the market after sitting on the sidelines for months.”

That’s why, if you’re interested in selling your house this spring, it’s helpful to work with a real estate agent who can help connect you with those buyers who are ready to purchase a home.

Bottom Line

There are still clear opportunities for sellers this spring. If you’re wondering if it’s the right time to make a move, connect with a trusted real estate advisor.

Balancing Your Wants and Needs as a Homebuyer This Spring

, , , , , , ,
 
 

Though there are more homes for sale now than there were at this time last year, there’s still an undersupply with fewer houses available than in more normal, pre-pandemic years.

The Monthly Housing Market Trends Report from realtor.com puts it this way: 

“While the number of homes for sale is increasing, it is still 43.2% lower than it was before the pandemic in 2017 to 2019. This means that there are still fewer homes available to buy on a typical day than there were a few years ago.”

The current housing shortage has an impact on how you search for a home this spring. With limited options on the market, buyers who consider what’s a necessity versus what’s a nice-to-have will be more successful in their home search.

The first step? Get pre-approved for a mortgage. Pre-approval helps you better understand what you can borrow for your home loan, and that plays an important role in how you’ll put your list together. After all, you don’t want to fall in love with a home that’s out of reach. Once you have a good grasp on your budget, the best way to prioritize all the features you want and need in a home is to put together a list.

Here’s a great way to think about them before you begin:

  • Must-Haves – If a house doesn’t have these features, it won’t work for you and your lifestyle.

  • Nice-To-Haves – These are features you’d love to have but can live without. Nice-to-haves aren’t dealbreakers, but if you find a home that hits all the must-haves and some of the these, it’s a contender.

  • Dream State – This is where you can really think big. Again, these aren’t features you’ll need, but if you find a home in your budget that has all the must-haves, most of the nice-to-haves, and any of these, it’s a clear winner.

Finally, once you’ve created your list and categorized it in a way that works for you, discuss it with your real estate agent. They’ll be able to help you refine the list further, coach you through the best ways to stick to it and find a home in your area that meets your needs.

Bottom Line

Prioritizing what you need in a home is a critical first step the buying process. If you’re ready to find the one that’s best for you, connect with a local real estate agent.

How to Upgrade Your Home Exterior After Moving In

, , , , , , ,
 
 

Congratulations on your new home! Now that you’ve settled in, it’s time to think about upgrading the exterior of your home.

You might not be able to make major improvements right away, but there are still plenty of small changes you can make to give your home’s exterior an upgrade. Let’s take a look at some tips for how to spruce up your home exterior after moving in.

Repainting or Refreshing the Exterior Paint
Painting is one of the most cost-effective and fastest ways to give your home exterior a facelift. Whether you want to repaint the entire house or just refresh certain sections, you don’t need much more than a few cans of paint and some accessories such as brushes, ladders, and drop cloths. Painting can also help protect your home from moisture damage and fading due to sun exposure.

Adding Outdoor Lighting Fixtures
Outdoor lighting fixtures are a great way to add extra character and curb appeal to your home's exterior. Whether you choose solar-powered lights or traditional electrical ones, they can bring a warm feel to any outdoor space. Installing lights around walkways or along flower beds will add extra safety and security while still looking stylish.

Upgrading Your Landscaping
Adding plants, trees, and other foliage is an excellent way to upgrade the look of your yard without breaking the bank. If you want something low maintenance, consider adding shrubs that require minimal water and attention. If you prefer flowers, choose perennials since they come back year after year with little effort from you—just be sure not to plant them too close together so that air can circulate freely around them for optimal growth conditions. Finally, don't forget about adding mulch or gravel pathways for easier access between areas in your yard as well as visual appeal.

Upgrading the Roof
If your roof is looking a little drab or outdated, consider replacing it. You may even want to consider upgrading to a metal roof which can last up to 50 years and provide excellent insulation from the sun and cold weather. Metal roofs also come in various styles and colors to match your home’s exterior perfectly. Consult with a company, like Hurricane Roofer, to choose a roofing material that will work best for your new home. 

No matter what kind of budget you have available for upgrades, there are plenty of ways to spruce up your home's exterior after moving in that won't break the bank but will still provide an impressive transformation. From painting walls and installing outdoor lighting fixtures to landscaping with plants or gravel pathways—there is something for everyone. With these simple tips, you can create a beautiful oasis around your new home that will keep its appearance fresh for years down the line. So go ahead—get started on those upgrades today!
