Henderson - Las Vegas Nevada / Which Homes Have Increased in Value the Most? 

Home sellers have lots of options when is time to sell their properties, however there is no magic formula that will guarantee in achieving the best and highest price possible for their homes. This is why I like to partner with my clients to guide them through the complexities of selling their homes. I assembled a team of true professionals with experience, dedication and strong communication skills to help ensure a successful and profitable sale of your home.

Today I want to bring a very important point that relates to the sale of your home, Which Homes Have Increased in Value the Most?

Home values have risen dramatically over the last twelve months. The latest Existing Home Sales Report from the National Association of Realtors puts the annual increase in the median existing-home price at 5.6%. CoreLogic, in their most recent Home Price Index Report, revealed that national home prices have increased by 6.7% year-over-year. 

CoreLogic broke appreciation down ever further into four price ranges which gives a more detailed view than simply looking at the year-over-year increases of the national median home price.

The chart below shows the four tiers and each one’s growth from July 2016 to July 2017 (the latest data available).

It is important to pay attention to how prices are changing in your local market. The location of your home is not the only factor in determining how much it has appreciated over the course of the last year. Lower priced homes have appreciated at greater rates than homes at the upper ends of the spectrum, due to demand from first-time home buyers and baby boomers looking to downsize.

Bottom Line

If you are planning on listing your home for sale in today’s market, let’s get together to go over exactly what’s going on in your area and your price range.

As a general rule, furniture should be arranged for comfort, convenience and attractiveness. In arranging your furniture, keep in mind these principles or guidelines.

1. Use or utility. Every object in the room must be placed for convenience and comfort. Group furniture according to use. Those pieces that are naturally used together should be together. A sofa, two arm chairs and a long low table are grouped together.  When you entertain visits or when your family sits down together to converse, this arrangement would be very convenient.

Furniture should be arranged to meet the needs and tastes of the people living in the house. In a house where there are children, shelves for toys should be provided. A study table with a table lamp near the bookcase makes a useful arrangement when there are students among the members of the family.

2.Economy of space. Do not use large heavy furniture in a small room. They will occupy too much space. Double purpose furniture saves on space. Instead of just a small table, have shelves under the table. It can serve as a place for a radio. The shelves can be used for books and magazines.

Never put large pieces of furniture across a corner. But small pieces of furniture like a small chair or small table may be placed across a corner for interest. It does not use up much space. Large pieces should be placed parallel to the wall. Leave a space between the wall and the furniture. Arrange the pieces in such a way that they need not be moved from their places for cleaning. When furniture touch the wall, both the wall and the furniture get scratched.

3. Beauty. Furniture arrangement should add to the attractiveness of the room. Every arrangement is more interesting if there is a center of interest. Furniture may be placed with the radio or television set as center of interest.

All joining in furniture should be clean, tight-fitting, difficult to detect, and put together with screws instead of nails. Drawers should slide smoothly. There also should be stops to prevent them from being pulled all the way out. Backs of the furniture should be attractively finished- and not, as in cheap furniture, made of heavy cardboard. The hardware, such as knobs, pulls and handles, should be firmly attached, tastefully designed, and in keeping with the quality of the piece it adorns. Brass and other metal hardware should be rust- resistant and tarnish proof.

4.Unity. Furniture of the same kind should be grouped together and furniture used for certain activity should be grouped together. In the bedroom, the clothes closet and the dresser should be near each other. Group furniture of similar heights together.

5.Variety. Furniture need not be in sets. Different kinds of furniture may be grouped together if they will be used together. A small piece of furniture may be placed across a corner. Large pieces should be near each other. Group furniture of similar heights together.

Happy New Year!

Moving in a new house can be diificult and at this time of the year, after holidays might be the best time moving in. Before you go into the specifics of moving in and buying furniture. You might want to consider the following things below to make sure your home is ready.

1. Make sure the electrical outlets and plates are installed- Most old houses have old connectiors or swutches, especially for those homes that have been renovated or have been repaired. Mismatched outlets and wires can cause accidents like electric shock or even fire.

2. Change the color of walls/ ceilings. repaint- hire a repainter as this might take alittle more time to do. If you are short on time make sure that before you move in the walls and ceilings were scrubbed clean and then repaint later.

3. Change the locks- get new keys on the exterior doors- As soon as the closing paperwork is done ensure that all locks and keys are changed. Consider that the previous owners or realtors may have access to the previous keys and that everyone that may have access can get easily in if the locks are the same.

4. Make sure the house is Spick and Span- Hire a helper if you cannot do it yourself. While the previous owners may have left the home clean for you some would not. Even if they do, you will want to clean everything.

5. Make sure the mechanical equipment is cleaned and serviced-  Do this as soon as you buy the house. Make sure that the cooling and heating systems are ceaned and other tasks. Always hire a professional to service these things for you, make this a priority.

Purchasing your first home can be energizing and astonishing, and terrifying. Yet, knowing the normal slip-ups of first-time purchasers will guarantee you don't make the same ones, and can make the move to "New Home Owner!" that much smoother.

1. Overspending

It’s important to be realistic about what you can afford. The final sale price isn’t the only cost to take into account when owning a home. Houses come with plenty of bills like heating and property taxes, future renovations and occasional unforeseen costs like burst pipes or city trees needing to be trimmed.

2. Spending too less

Yes, this can also be a mistake! If you spend too little on a home that you’ll outgrow quickly, you’ll incur the expense of moving (which can be quite pricey) perhaps before you need to.

3. Buy from the heart 

Beyond any doubt the house is perfect, completely revamped and painted your most loved shade of cream and has an ensuite washroom for each room. Be that as it may, it's on an occupied street and you have three youthful children and two cats who like to keep running outside.

4. Watch out for Hidden Closing Cost

The final sale price of the house isn’t the only cost of buying a home. There are many "closing costs" that should be taken into account when deciding what price range you can afford. Your realtor’s commissions, lawyer fees, transfer taxes and moving costs can all add up.

5. Not doing Research

Aimlessly purchasing a home can be a major oversight. Whether you're giving careful consideration to your real estate agent and family "who simply LOVE the spot!" or are feeling the weight to make a fast purchase, moving into a house that hasn't been altogether confirmed can be a major, costly, remorseful error.

Buying a home is really exciting and daunting.  But doing your own due diligence can make the whole process easier, and get you into your dream home with less stress.

Selling a home is not that easy especially for the Holidays- Usually when you aska an agent if this is a good time to list your home. They would say that it is absolutely fine since you would know when a buyer is serious or not. It might be true in some sense but in reality it is not.

Some sellers insist on leaving their homes on the market, regardless, and that's OK, too. The deciding factors depend on local custom, on what neighbors are doing and how real estate activity is viewed by others during the holiday season in your area. Every town is different.

Still, decreased inventory over the occasions implies less competition. Be that as it may, when the pool of purchasers drops, the remaining parity of inventory won't not have much effect. In parts of the nation where it snows, buyers mull over packaging up in substantial coats, boots and gloves to walk through snow banks to go take a look at homes when they'd rather go out shopping or staying at home at the fireplace 

Here are some things that might happen:

1. First time Homebuyers might think that you are desperate.

2. The offers receive will be low ball offers

3. Showing a home during the Holidays might be a hassle if given short notice

4. You are appealing with a small pool of buyers that might have a very specific need. Well that does not happen often though

If you decide you cannot live through a holiday seasons without decorating your home, at least keep the decorations to a minimum. Don't block or cover up important selling features such as fireplace mantels, stairs, stained-glass windows. Consider hiring a home stager to do home staging with the buyer in mind.

What you also need is a realtor that will devote much attention to marketing your home. Our team specializes in selling homes regardless of the season.
