Sell Your House Faster – Prepare Your Home for Listing Photos

January 31, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Sell Your House Faster - Prepare Your Home for Listing PhotosWe’ve all seen those home listing photos of the agent in the bathroom mirror, the pets in the living room, and the dirty laundry on the floor. Those photos are funny to look at, but they’re not going to help sell your house. Here are few easy tips to prepare your house for fantastic listing photos so you can impress more buyers and sell your house faster!

Window Treatments – Open all the curtains and blinds in every room to let natural light in.

Lighting – Turn all interior lights on, and any ceiling fans off. Replace any burnt out light bulbs.

Pets – Keep all your pets out of the house (or at least out of the way). Hide away all pet supplies, food dishes, crates, scratching posts, etc.

Vehicles – Move all vehicles away from the home or park them in the garage. Don’t leave any in the driveway or parked on the street in front of the house. Close your garage doors.

Tables/Counters – Remove all clutter from kitchen and bathroom counters, shelves, tables, bedroom dressers, etc. Have a minimalist mindset with what you leave out.

General – Make sure your home is as tidy as possible. Put away all the laundry, make all the beds, close all the toilet seats, vacuum your carpets, etc. Make sure the front and backyards are well manicured, with cut grass, trimmed bushes, etc.

If you prepare your house for listing photos, it can definitely help improve the quality of the photos and sell your house faster. The listing photos of your home provide the very first impression buyers will have of your home. You want them to be impressed enough that they want to schedule a showing. If you have great listing photos, you will impress more buyers, and ultimately sell your house faster.

How long does it take to buy a house?

January 27, 2016 by Eric Lowry

How long does it take to buy a houseHow long does it take to buy a house?

Today buying a house takes longer than ever due to new lending regulations. The actual house hunting process takes only as long as you want it to. If you need to stick to a specific timeline you’ll want to keep in mind the following information and plan accordingly.

At the very beginning of your home search, you start with getting pre approved and meeting with a Realtor. Getting pre approved doesn’t take long at all and can generally be done in one day.

Once you are out looking at homes, you never know when you’ll find that perfect one. Your dream home could be the first home you see, or it could be the eighth. Putting in an offer and negotiating with the sellers takes around 1-2 days. Upon receiving an accepted contract, your lender has to start the ball rolling on their end. That is the piece that takes the longest.

Right now it’s taking on average 45-60 days to get from contract to closing. This is because in Fall of 2015, new regulations known as TRID were enacted. In very basic terms, TRID is meant to protect consumers by providing very clear and accurate disclosures of all fees. It also requires that lenders provide a closing disclosure at least 3 days before closing. So if you are planning on buying a house, plan on it taking a minimum of 60 days.

West Chester Real Estate Market Update – January 2016

January 27, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Year Ends Strong in Sellers’ Market for West Chester

West Chester Real Estate Market UpdateWest Chester Real Estate Market ended in a strong sellers’ market with a 2.5 month inventory of homes for sale. A 6 month inventory level is considered a balanced market. Anything under 6 months worth of inventory is considered to be an undersupply, favoring home sellers as opposed to favoring home buyers. Inventory typically is lower this time of year, however it’s at its lowest point in several years. Thinking of selling your home? This significant lack of inventory makes right now a fantastic time to get your home listed for sale.

Buying a House in a Sellers Market

January 24, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Buying a House in a Seller's MarketBuying a House in a Sellers Market

If you’re thinking about buying a house this year, it’s important to be educated about the current real estate market conditions.

There is a 3-4 months inventory of homes for sale on the market right now, which is very low. When inventory levels are between 6-7 months, it is considered a balanced or neutral market. Anything more is considered a buyers market, and anything less than 6 months is considered a sellers market.

What this means is that since there is a low supply, and still a lot of demand, the current real estate market favors home sellers. There is greater competition among buyers which means that homes are selling very quickly. When a new listing comes on the market that interests you, it’s important that you contact your Realtor right away so you can view the home as soon as possible. If you wait a few days to go see it, it likely will have already sold.Buying a House in a Seller's Market

This sellers market also means that homes are selling very close to list price. On average, homes in our area are selling at 98% of list price. So if you really love the house and don’t want to lose out to another buyer, you must make a very strong offer. Trying to make a low ball offer in this market is not going to work.

In addition to making a strong offer price, you must also be prepared to provide a pre approval letter with your offer. A pre approval letter strengthens your offer because it shows the seller that you have the financial capability to purchase the home. So it’s imperative you choose the right lender and get pre approved before looking at homes.
