Advice to Sellers

The holiday season is upon us and the year end is around the corner. If you have your home on the market or are thinking about putting your home on the market, staging is a critical consideration this time of year. Specifically, keep your home warm and inviting, keep your home light ? maintain lighting in all areas, keep your home basic ? decorate for the holidays; but remove clutter wherever possible, keep your home clean and well maintained, and keep it neat both inside and outside.

According to recently released information, when prospective home buyers are asked about preferences of existing homes versus new homes; the results are overwhelming as 75% prefer an existing home over a new home. The reasons for the preference are sense of community, established neighborhoods ? thus a warmer inviting feeling, better construction, better privacy, and not cookie cutter, larger lot sizes, and mature landscapes.

Keep in mind that the holiday season brings out more serious buyers, the inventory of active home listings is low and thus the competition from other properties is less, and cold weather is a benefit in making the home feel cozy.

Contact us today to discuss the options available to you.

Advice to Buyers

Home prices are rising in the Denver area due to the rise of home affordability, the rise of household formations, the rise of rents, the decline of distressed sales and foreclosures, and the decrease of available inventory for sale.

Buyers have fewer choices due to the lower inventory of homes available for sale. The lower inventory of homes available for sale is both good and bad for the home buyer. ?Be Prepared? should be the home buyer?s motto.
