From time to time, clients ask us, “What causes a home not to sell?” We all know someone trying to sell a home. There are three reasons why a San Diego home doesn’t sell.

1. There is something wrong with the home. This is fairly uncommon. Often, things within the home can be repaired and fixed up before anyone buys the property.

2. The property isn’t priced correctly. While this is common, it’s fairly simple and easy to address. All you need to do is adjust the price. Familiarize yourself with other homes in the local market and examine the value of your own.

3. The home isn’t marketed aggressively to the right demographic. Although this reason is also commonplace, it’s the most challenging out of all three. Many sellers hire us to help them through this specific step. For 27 years, we’ve been aggressively marketing properties in Southern California with successful closings.

If you know someone with a home that isn’t selling, it’s probably because the property is not getting out effectively to prospective buyers. Please give us a call or email today! We’re here to help you, your family, friends, and the community.

Reasons to Consider Holiday Selling

Today we are going to talk about selling during the holidays. One thing that we have learned over the last 28 years is that the holidays are a great time of year to sell a home. A lot of agents like to take this time of year off, but we don’t. It’s not that we don’t enjoy the holidays or our time with our families, we keep working because our clients want and need us to. If you have been thinking about listing your home for sale, here are a few reasons why the holidays are a perfect time:

1. Less competition
The people that aren’t serious about selling their homes are going to take them off the market during this time of year. As a seller, that means buyers have fewer homes to choose from and your home will stand out more.

2. Homes show well during the holidays
This time of year is when homes show their best. Holiday decorations and bright lights are just a few of the reasons that home showings during the holidays have a better success rate.

3. Fewer casual buyers
The only buyers out looking for homes during this time of year are the ones serious about buying. That’s the kind of buyer you want as a seller, and in most cases they are looking to buy before the end of the year. 

Although there are fewer homes for sale on the market during the holidays, there aren’t any fewer buyers. Those who sold in October are looking to buy in November and December. Relocation buyers are also active during this time, as they are looking to find a place and move in by the end of the year. 

If you have any questions for us or are interested in putting your home on the market, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

How Can You Prepare Your Home for the Market?

Today we are excited to talk about the things that you can do, as a home seller, to get your home ready to sell for top dollar in our market. We know the things that you need to do and the things you don’t need to do, so let’s get to it. 

If you want top dollar for your home sale, you’ve got to make a good impression. The very first impression a buyer has on your home is when they drive up, so your home has to have great curb appeal to draw them in. This means making sure the landscaping is neat and trimmed, the front door is all clean, and everything else is tidy and in order. Your home’s curb appeal is an indicator of what’s to come on the inside. 

When the buyer steps inside your home, the biggest thing you want to do is make sure the home is not cluttered. The way we live in a home and the way we want it to show for sale are two different things. You want to take down all the personal photos, knick knacks, and collections, so people can focus on the property as opposed to what’s in it. 

A lot of people ask us if they need to hire a stager for the property. After doing this for over 30 years, we know what things work when staging a home and what things don’t. We can tell you how to get your home in tip-top shape. In some cases, that may involve spending a little money, but in most cases, it's not necessary. 

If you have any questions for us or just want some more home preparation advice, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!

What's Happening with San Diego Real Estate?

Today, we'll go over the status of the San Diego real estate market.

Right now, we're still in a bit of a seller's market, but we are heading to a neutral market. Homes aren't selling as quickly, and we are seeing some price reductions. That's not because home values are going down; some sellers got ahead of themselves and priced too aggressively, and now they have to come back to reality.

We're also seeing inventory levels increase as sales decrease. If you're selling your home, you need to be very competitive, price your home correctly, and list with someone who will aggressively market your home. For buyers, there are a lot of great options to choose from out there. Interest rates are still fantastically low, making this one of the best times we've ever had for purchasing real estate.

If you're thinking of purchasing an investment property, we want you to know that we now offer complete property management. We'll take the hassle out of dealing with tenants.  

If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
