Reasons Why You Should Sell Your House Now

Reasons Why You Should Sell Your House NowThere are a number of reasons why you should sell your house now!

The number one reason to sell your home now is that there is less competition in the Winter than there is in the Spring. Buyers looking for a home will have less homes to choose from. Make one of their choices your home! Also, people that are looking to purchase a home in the bitter cold of Winter are usually very serious and motivated buyers.

Another reason that now is a good time to sell your home is that interest rates are projected to go up. This makes it an opportune time for a person that has been thinking of moving to a new home. Buy now before interest rates begin to rise. This works in your favor as well. The sooner you sell while interest rates are down, the better your chances of moving into your dream home. mortgage rate projections for 2016

The Lowry Team :: Factors To Consider When Buying A Home

by Leave a Comment

The School District Is One Of The Factors You Should Consider When Buying A Home

 

When buying a home, remember that school districts are very important. Even if you do not have kids, a highly rated school can increase the resale value of your home if you decide to sell. Buyers who have kids or are planning on having kids are likely to spend more money to be near public schools with higher scores. Because of this, even in a down market, a school district can help you protect your home’s value.

The Lowry Team Keller Williams Realty – Home Improvements That Are Worth The Investment

Home Improvements That Are Worth The Investment

Home ImprovementsIt’s Spring!  Homeowners everywhere are tackling  home improvement projects.  The Lowry Team warns that some home improvements add more value to your home than others.  Oftentimes, the project costs more that the value that it adds.  Remodeling Magazine came out with their 2014 Cost vs Value report.  The value added to your home is impacted by geographic area due to costs of material, labor and trends. The Lowry Team looks specifically at the Cincinnati area.

Projects that are considered mid – range can add quite a bit of value to your home.  For example, according to Remodeling Magazine’s report plenty of projects recoup more than 100% of their cost.  These projects include adding an attic bedroom, a back up power generator and wood deck additions.  The project that scored the lowest in the mid range was a home office remodel.  This home improvement project added less that 50% of the cost to the value of the home.

In the upscale project range, quite a few home improvements re-couped 70% or more of their cost.  A garage door replacement, composite deck addition, vinyl window and siding replacements, and a bath remodel were all considered to be good investments.  The projects that added the least amount of value compared to cost were a master suite addition and roof replacement.

Preparing your home for sale properly can net you considerably more money at closing. Some rooms in your home are more important than others in the preparation process and some home improvements are a much better investment as you prepare to sell your home.  Don’t spend money unnecessarily, call Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team today to arrange a consultation to discuss the right steps to preparing your home for sale.
