If a new home is in your near future, congratulations! This can often be a stressful, and sometimes confusing time, but it doesn’t have to be. Check out these helpful tips for selling or buying a new home.
Tips for Selling Your Home
- Prepare your home for sale by making necessary repairs and giving it a good cleaning. Make sure to address any issues that may be revealed in a home inspection. This will give your home a better chance of selling quickly and for a higher price.
- Price your home accurately. Research other homes for sale in your area and use that information to price your home competitively. If your price is too high, potential buyers may not even bother to come take a look.
- Utilize the power of technology. The Power Homes Team at Century 21 Prestige takes full advantage of the internet to reach more potential buyers. This increases the chances of your home selling faster. We take the stress and guesswork out of marketing your home.
Tips for Buying a New Home
- Research the Market. Before you decide to buy a new home, it is important to research the current market to make sure you are getting the best deal. Our team can help you understand where the market is at, and where it could be going. You should also research the neighborhood (pro tip: visit on different days, at different times of day) to see if it is a good fit for you and your family.
- Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage. Before you start the process of buying a home, make sure you are pre-approved for a mortgage. This will help you determine what price range you can afford and make sure you are not overpaying for a home. It will also give you a competitive edge when it comes to making an offer on a home.
- Get an Inspection. Before you purchase a new home, it is important to get a thorough home inspection. This will help ensure that the home is in good condition and that there are no hidden problems that could cost you more money in the future. An inspection can also help you negotiate a better price if the inspector finds any issues.
These are just a few tips to get you started on the journey of buying or selling a home this year. With a bit of preparation and a great Real Estate team behind you, your new home dreams can become a reality!
