The Lowry Team :: Selling A Home During The Holidays

October 17, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team :: Selling A Home During The Holidays

selling a homes during the holidaysThe Fall and upcoming holidays can actually be a great time to sell your house!  Let’s look at the opportunities that the immediate Fall and holiday time periods present:

First, the inventory of homes for sale (the competition) is lower right now, so your home has a better chance of capitalizing on the buyers that are out there looking right now.  Many homeowners are planning to wait until after the holidays, which will cause a flood of new listings to come on the market. Without an increase in buyers looking, this increased supply of homes for sale will likely cause a further drop in home prices.  If you truly want to get the best possible price for your home, right now may be the best time.

Second, selling a home while it is decorated for Thanksgiving and Christmas may make it show better.  Homes that are nicely decorated for the holidays look nicer than at any other time of year. Why not use this opportunity to impress potential buyers with the warmth and added beauty of your homes interior. Buyers often buy homes based on emotion and a really nice home, decorated beautifully can seal the deal.

Third, the buyers that are out looking at homes right now are serious, motivated buyers.  You may not get as many showings, but the ones you get will be serious.  The “just looking” buyers are not out at looking at homes now.  The buyers that are out looking at homes for sale in West Chester, Liberty Township, Beckett Ridge and Mason right now are ones that are ready to move.

Fourth, marketing matters in today’s challenging real estate market and getting a head start on the rush of inventory coming after the holidays can put money in your pocket.  Homes that sell quickly sell for more!  Getting your home on the market now get’s the marketing process going during a time when the photos of your home will look so much better.  Photos taken now vs photos taken in January or February can make a huge difference, not just in the still photography, but in the creation of the virtual tours and online videos that we create of your home.

Buying a Home :: 3 Steps To Getting Started

October 16, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Buying a Home :: 3 Steps To Getting Started

 Buying a Home

1. Hire A Real Estate Agent

Buying a home as a first time homebuyer is a complex process, one that a real estate agent specializes in navigating.  A real estate agent will advocate for you and your interests throughout the whole process, which makes it important for you to find the agent that will best fit your needs.  The Lowry Team takes a team approach to home buying and selling.  The Lowry Team consists of members that are focused on areas of specialization including Listing Specialists, Buyer Specialists, Transaction/Listing Coordinator and a Marketing Director. This ensures that you get more focused attention and your home buying or selling process goes as smoothly as possible.

2. Get Preapproved
Getting preapproved acts as a dry run of the loan application process. The mortgage lender uses details about your credit, income, assets, and debts to estimate how much mortgage you can afford.  This reduces the potential frustration of looking at homes beyond your means.  A preapproval also serves as a good indication to potential sellers of your general credit worthiness.  Most sellers will not accept an offer without at least a pre-approval letter; so if you are serious about buying a home this should be one of the first steps you take towards purchasing your new home.  The Lowry Team works with a preferred lender that will help you with this important step towards buying your dream home.

3. Narrow your search areas

Maybe there is a particular part of town you have always wanted to live in, maybe you need easy access to the highways for your job commute. Your real estate agent will help you narrow down your search to the areas that fit your needs best. The Lowry Team specializes in in West Chester, Liberty Township, Mason, Monroe, Fairfield Township and the Northern Suburbs of Cincinnati. You can find more information and search homes for sale in different communities at www.LowryTeam.com/search

The Lowry Team’s Top 10 Fall Home Maintenance Tips

October 15, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team’s Top 10 Fall Home Maintenance Tips

Fall home maintenanceIt’s that time of year….time for Fall home maintenance.  There is plenty to do but by working through this list, you are preventing future maintenance problems. Here are 10 Fall home maintenance tips that The Lowry Team recommends:

1. Clean the gutters – Clean the gutters and downspouts of sticks, leaves and other debris. If necessary, replace the gutters with those that have leaf guards.

2. Caulk around the windows – This is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent heat from escaping your house.

3. Check paint and siding – Blistering and peeling paint on the exterior walls of your home is a sign that your siding may no longer be protected.

4. Seal the driveway – Sealing the cracks extends the life of your driveway.

5. Inspect your roof – Look for shingles that are loose or missing.  If needed, have a professional repair the roof before Winter.

6. Winterize the deck – Clean your porch, deck and furniture.  Cover the furniture and your grill. Store everything away from the elements.

7. Drain exterior faucets – Disconnect the garden hoses from the house and drain water from the faucets to prevent freezing.

8. Prepare yard equipment for storage – Clean and empty the fuel from lawn mowers, weed trimmers and other yard equipment.

9. Inspect heat sources – Prior to use, have your furnace serviced and your fireplace inspected.

10. Reverse ceiling fans – Reversing the ceiling fan blades helps to distribute warm air from the ceilings throughout the room.

The Lowry Team has a preferred vendor list.  If you need Fall home maintenance work done, call us at 513-874-1830.  We would be happy to recommend someone to you.
