What Not To Do Before Selling Your House

1.  PAINT EVERY ROOM A DIFFERENT COLOR

Before selling your home, it’s not necessary to paint every single wall white. What is important is to stick to a cohesive color scheme that is neutral and will appeal to lots of different people with different tastes.

2.  LET THE LANDSCAPING GO

It may be tempting to save on the flower budget if you hope to be out of your home before the summer ends. But investing in a few flowers will make your home look inviting to potential homebuyers. Also remember to keep flower beds weeded, the grass cut, and trees and shrubs pruned.

3.  SMOKE INSIDE YOUR HOME

If you are a smoker who smokes inside your home, stop as soon as you think you might want to sell! Cigarette smell is very hard to remove from a home and the sooner you stop smoking inside, the easier it’ll be. Plus, it’ll prevent you from constantly shampooing your carpets and washing down the walls while you’re showing your home.

4.  LET YOUR HOME FALL INTO DISREPAIR

Homebuyers are more likely to buy a home that needs fewer repairs.  A home is a major purchase and the last thing homebuyers want to do after buying a home is to shell out lots of cash on things like a new roof, drywall, or furnace. Homebuyers tend to believe that even small repairs will cost more than they actually do so do yourself a favor, and fix what needs to be fixed.

5. CLUTTER UP YOUR HOME

Clutter and dirt will cause potential homebuyers to believe you didn’t care for your home well. Show them how much you loved and cared for your home (and how much they will too!) by keeping it clean and clutter free!

Team Thayer Real Estate House Flipping Traps! #flippinghouses #eugeneoregon #oregon #housing #market #realestate

If you’ve got several leads waiting to turn into potential deals, you can’t wait for one to suddenly come knocking at your door. Successful real estate house flippers have one trait in common: they place an emphasis on proper planning. Once you’ve secured a deal, you must decide what kind of rehab you will perform. Will you conduct a few simple cosmetic upgrades (like these  10 rehab projects you finish in one weekend )? Or, is the home nice enough to sell after  an easy prehab ? Are there structural damages that will require you to carry out more major renovations? Will you focus on implementing environmentally friendly renovations  – also known as “greenhabbing” – so that you  qualify for certain tax benefits ? Once you’ve determined your strategy, it is important to ask yourself these specific questions before diving into the construction action: What are the current market conditions in my area? What does my ideal buyer look like? Does my marketing cam...

Are Cheap Houses A Good Deal? Team Thayer Real Estate News Eugene Oregon

Whether you are buying a car, real estate or even just a bottle of wine, people are always looking for the best possible deal. It may go without saying, but people love bargains. It may even be safe to say that people covet the real estate bargain most of all. A property listed below $50,000 may seem too good to be true. However, that is not always the case. Upon closer inspection, the property may need more work than meets the eye. While some properties are well worth their low sticker price, others may require so much work that their  value  isn’t worth the purchase. If you are on the fence as to whether or not an inexpensive property is right for you, here are some pointers to help with the decision: 1. Location:  Location  is one of the first things you need to look at when attempting to determine value. If there is no demand, a cheap property will do you no good.
