WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER SELLING YOUR HOME NOW, (part two):
In New Jersey, sales volume over the past 2 years, increased by an
amazing 43% over the previous 2 years. In the hottest regional markets
within Bergen, Hudson, Middlesex, and Essex Counties, homes are being
sold for full asking price and above, with buyers stacked up to buy.
In the Suburban communities, the most in-demand homes tend to be in
the most highly regarded school districts. Those without children are
a growing breed of buyers. With both young professionals and empty
nesters, a reasonable proximity to mass transit and a short commute,
are high priorities. One of the latest demographic reports says that
65% of households in New Jersey, have no children under the age of 18.
No matter where you are located in New Jersey, there are some
inexpensive and common sense steps to take to create the greatest
desirability for your home. Keep in mind, buyers want to walk in and
be able to say, "this house is ready to live in". Buyers don't want to
take on a project, so sellers should deal with them ahead of time.
CURB APPEAL:
If you look at your house from across the street, does it look
inviting? Fresh paint and neat landscaping are essential. Damaged
sidewalks and steps should be repaired. If the outside is well kept,
it sends a message that the inside is well cared for.
INSIDE:
Repair broken floor boards & cracked tiles, and replace missing
cabinet hardware. At the very least, make sure that paint isn't
chipping and tile grout is clean.
DE-CLUTTERING AND DE-PERSONALIZING:
Remove extra furniture pieces, thin out book shelves and store the
knick- knacks. Art work should be kept to a minimum and family photos
along with personal mementoes should be packed away. If your budget
allows, upgrading the kitchen and bathroom always pays off.
