Three Mistakes to Avoid When Selling a Home

Avoid these Mistakes When Selling Your HomeWhen you are ready to sell your Houston home, there will be many things that are important for you to take care of. How do you know what’s a big deal and what isn’t so big? With emotions involved, it’s easy to lose sight of the primary goal and what matters most. Let’s start with three items that you want to be sure you make the best decision on so you don’t start the home selling process with a disadvantage.

Agent Choice
Probably, the first choice you will make is selecting the agent to work with when selling your home. Your real estate agent will help you navigate the paperwork, price your home accordingly for today’s market, communicate with buyers and other agents about your home and market your property online and through other methods. Choosing the right agent can make the difference between selling and not selling your home.

Price
Your price will determine if and when you sell. If you underprice your home, you will sell quickly but sacrifice value. If you overprice your home, your home will sit on the market while you grow increasingly frustrated. The key is pricing your home just right so you attract the most interest possible that turns into showing activity and offers. This is a hard balance to achieve but an experienced agent will research your home and the current market to recommend the best price for your home.

Condition
There is nothing worse than showing up to look at a home to discover that the interior is dirty and in poor condition. Sometimes photos may not show the true picture and while you may have a few showings, if your home is in poor condition, you are unlikely to get an offer unless you have advertised the condition of the property accurately. Most people want a well-cared for home to purchase. It may need some updates but if it is filthy with chipped paint, worn carpet and other flaws, buyers will be turned off right away. From curb appeal and throughout the home, the home needs to look its best or be priced appropriately for its condition.

A little planning and consideration on your part can make selling your home go smoothly. Get the help you need when it comes time to sell by contacting us for a consultation. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and help you determine the value of your home.

Fall Maintenance for Homeowners

Home MaintenanceAs summer winds down and fall approaches, we will hopefully get some relief from the hot summer we have had. As the temperatures cool, this makes a great time to take care of home maintenance tasks outside and prepare your home for the winter months. What should you do around your home in the fall to make sure you are ready for the next season? Here are five things you definitely should not skip.

  1. Lawn maintenance is common in the fall. If you choose to aerate in the fall, then you may want to fertilize your lawn after that. The summer is harsh on your grass. Giving it some attention after the weather starts to cool can help it recover before its dormant winter season. If you do fertilize your lawn, you will need to water it as well if the weather doesn’t cooperate with you. Without watering, your fertilizer will be wasted.
  2. Fall is a great time to seal and stain your deck. Depending on your deck, this may need to be done annually or every two to three years. You need to avoid the wettest season and while summer may have plenty of time that isn’t wet, it was so hot this year, you would have likely been miserable trying to complete this task. While you may have some fall rain, you should likely have plenty of dry days too so you can complete this activity without getting into the cold months. While your area may be drier in the winter, if there is rain, it is likely to stick around longer since the temperatures are cooler but the fall should still have plenty of warm, sunny days to make deck maintenance ideal.
  3. Empty the gutters and downspouts and make any necessary repairs. When the leaves start to come off the trees in the fall, it is best to have your gutters empty so they aren’t overloaded. Overflowing gutters can pull away from the house causing damage and allowing water to flow into your home. This damage is often hard to spot until it has progressed into a big and expensive problem.
  4. Winterize any outdoor water sources. This includes outdoor spigots, irrigation systems, sinks, fountains and anything else. If temperatures dip below freezing with water in the lines, it could cause your pipes to burst creating an expensive and messy repair.
  5. Have your fireplace cleaned for the new season if you didn’t have it done at the end of fireplace season. If this is not something you have been doing regularly, talk to the person that comes out about the recommended schedule for this maintenance task depending on your fireplace usage habits. Fireplaces provide great heat during the winter but can be dangerous if they aren’t properly maintained.

Routine maintenance is critical to caring for your home and protecting your most important asset. Anytime you need a recommendation for a home professional to assist you with something big or small around your home, give us a call.

Avoid these Common Mistakes When Buying a Home

Homebuying MistakesWith interest rates at an all-time low, this is a great time to buy a home and take advantage of the low rates. Buying a home can be stressful but it doesn’t have to be. With the help of an experienced agent and a little effort to avoid common mistakes, buying a home can be a relatively simple experience.

Hire an Agent
Don’t try to buy a home by yourself. No matter how many homes you have bought, there are lots of things that will need to happen when you are purchasing a home. From finding the property and making an offer to negotiations, inspections and closing, there are lots of things that can come up during this time. Don’t guess your way through. Work with an agent who knows how to work things out to your advantage.

Stick to Your Budget
When you are buying a house, there are many expenses that go into the process. It is important that you stick to your budget because you don’t want to stretch your finances to a point that you are uncomfortable. Start by talking with a mortgage lender who will evaluate your income and credit and give you a preapproval so you know how much you can spend. Their preapproval will be based on certain ratios that allow you to not devote too much of your monthly budget to housing needs.

Don’t Skip Inspections
If you are working with an agent, they will definitely advise you to do inspections on the property so you know what you are buying but even if you aren’t, inspections will help you understand the true conditions and facts of the property you are purchasing and can help you avoid being surprised by something you didn’t know after closing.

Have an Emergency Fund
If you don’t have an emergency fund, it may be a good idea to put buying a home on hold for a little while until you can save more money. When you purchase a home, it will be your responsibility and that means you need to have money to make repairs when something breaks. To give yourself some added protection related to the condition of the home, you might want to consider purchasing a home warranty that would cover some home systems if they failed.

Buying a home doesn’t have to be hard but with this advice and a great agent (pick The Chris Wylie Team), this can be an exciting time as you purchase a new home.

Home Warranty Pros and Cons

Home warrantyWhen you are selling your Houston home, you will want to do everything you can to help your home stand out from its competition. Before listing your home, it is important that your home be very clean, decluttered, properly staged and priced appropriately. Depending on the market, sometimes even that is not enough. Another thing you could consider when selling your home is to provide a home warranty to the new owners of your home. This can be a nice selling point for several reasons.

A home warranty covers the components of a home, such as heating and cooling systems, appliances and water heaters but usually doesn’t include minor repairs such as plumbing leaks or anything cosmetic like painting and flooring. It can be purchased at any time though they are most often purchased during home transactions. The price can vary depending on the size of the home, age of the home and the options you select. After purchasing the warranty that normally lasts for a year though it can be renewed annually to extend the coverage, you will pay a service fee for any covered items and the remainder of the repair will be covered by the warranty company. It is imperative that you call the warranty company before contacting someone to do the work if you want the warranty company to cover the repair.

For the buyer of your home, a home warranty can offer additional peace of mind. They will have a little extra comfort that many repairs can be made using the warranty and not deplete all of their savings. While everything at home doesn’t cost thousands of dollars, it isn’t uncommon for one repair to cost more than the cost of a warranty.

For the seller, a home warranty may bring in more buyers, especially if you are selling an older home. First-time buyers don’t always have a lot of money to put into the property and a warranty could reassure them they won’t have a lot of major expenses that they aren’t ready for.

Think of a home warranty like an insurance policy for repairs to your home. Like insurance, the warranty doesn’t cover everything but it can cover many items and give you some extra peace of mind. For a buyer, that may just be the thing that helps them select your home over a similar one down the street.

Drive-Thru Safaris Near Houston

Drive-Thru ZooFew things in life are as much fun as a trip to the zoo but with the current situation in our country, many simple activities offer greater risk now than in the past. If your family is tired of the same activities every weekend with no end in sight, what about a drive-thru zoo for a fun afternoon? Not only are you able to visit these fun places from the comfort and cool setting of your car, you can keep your family safe at the same time. Some locations may require a short drive to get thru but what better for the kids to get their nap in for the day. If you are looking for a fun activity, try one of these fun locations. Then have the kids research their favorite animals to learn all about them.

Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch in San Antonio offers more than 500 animals in 40 different species at their 450 acre habitat.

Cherokee Trace Drive-Thru Safari in Jacksonville is made up of 300 acres that are home to more than two dozen exotic and endangered species.

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose offers a wide variety of common and rare animals for you to enjoy. From different varieties of goats and wolves to cheetahs, zebras and giraffes, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Grapeland Safari in Grapeland has more than 300 animals including kangaroos, zebras, elk and llama.

Exotic Resort Zoo in Johnson City offers camels, ostrich, buffalo and much more will greet you here. They offer cabins for rent too.

2020 Mid-Year Real Estate Review

Real Estate Review 2020There are lots of words we can use to describe 2020 and they seem to be changing by the day. We are certainly living in a new time where it has become very challenging to know what to expect today and a wild guess as to what the future holds. Real estate is a constantly changing industry and this year has presented even more variables than normal. What can we expect in the second half of the year?

It’s no secret that home sales took a plunge in March and April. With everyone staying home and some jobs slashed temporarily, some buyers cancelled contracts while others just put their real estate plans on hold. This caused a sharp decline in sales as reported by the National  Association of Realtors (NAR) in their most recent statistics released. It’s too early to tell if this is making a turn around but in many markets showing activity picked up dramatically in May, which means sales should as well though it’s just too early to have actual statistics for that time period. While the number of homes sold saw a drop, pricing remained steady and has even seen a little upward pressure recently due to limited inventory and increasing demand.

Recently, Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for NAR said, “The recovery in housing is happening faster than expected. We anticipated a drop off in Q3. But, we don’t think that’s the case anymore. We revised our Q3 numbers higher. Before, we predicted a 2 percent decline in purchase originations in 2020, now we think there will be 2 percent growth this year.” NAR does a great job analyzing housing statistics and has their finger on the heartbeat of the real estate market so their positive indications speak well for the future of housing.

Recent predictions on housing prices have differing opinions but significant depreciation isn’t anticipated by anyone. This is not 2008! Supply and demand will play a critical role in where prices go in 2020. It is always important to remember that real estate is local in nature. With everything going on currently, some markets are still fairly inactive, especially in luxury price ranges, while others have seen recent surges as people are forced to make moves and can’t wait any longer.

If you aren’t sure where things stand in our market, call us today. We are always available to discuss your property and your future real estate goals and how we can help you reach them.
