×Why sell now instead of waiting until spring? There are five reasons I want to share with you today. Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report Why should you consider listing your house now instead of waiting until spring? There are five key reasons: 1. There is low inventory. At the end of 2016, there were only 2,424 properties on the market in Guilford County. Compared to the 2,863 homes that were in the market at the end of 2015, that’s a 15% reduction. 2. Buyers at this time of year have a sense of urgency . If they’re motivated enough look at your house during January, you know that they’re serious. Plus, you won’t have to deal with any looky-loos, as is the case when the weather gets warmer. 3. There will be more movement in the lower price points. If you’ve been saving up for a down payment, you may have earmarked your tax refund to purchase a home. The winter market has plenty of things going for it. 4. There’s a lot of uncertainty and speculation regarding the incoming administration. Will they require a larger down payment? Nobody knows. 5. There is a potential interest rate hike coming . Remember—a 1% interest rate hike is the same as the price of a house going up 10% from a payment standpoint. If rates go up, the buyer pool will shrink. This will result in less demand for your house. If you have any questions about this topic or are thinking of buying or selling, feel free to call or email us for a free consultation. We look forward to helping you!…

Fall is a great time to sell a home, but you need to change a few things when it comes to showing your home. Since the season is different, you want to present your home differently. Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report If you plan on selling your home in the fall, there are a few specific things you can do to better prepare it to show during this season. You want to prepare for things that happen naturally in the fall such as falling leaves. Keep your gutters clean to keep them from taking on water and sagging. It is unsightly and can cause problems to your home, so take care of it before it happens. You also want to be sure you have regular lawn maintenance to keep it clean. You can show buyers you've been proactive with maintenance. Also, focus on landscaping. Having some fall flowers in a pot out front as people walk in is a good way to give the impression that you take care of your home. Speaking of maintenance, fall is a great time to have your HVAC checked. During the winter in Greensboro, it gets chilly, so you'll be running your furnace and really making it work. Go ahead and get it looked at – this will show the buyer that you've been proactive and are taking care of your system and your home. You might even want to leave the receipt for the service out on the countertop for buyers to see. These things are easy to do to prepare your home to show in the fall and will have a large impact. If you have any more questions about selling in the fall or you have any questions about our market, give us a call anytime. We'd love to hear from you!…

June 2016 continues a trend from the beginning of this year of increased home sales. The 708 closed sales in Guilford County are 16.3% higher than what we saw in June 2015. This has brought our year to date total to 3,386 closed sales, which is 13.9% higher than 2015. We’re also seeing the trend of inventory decline continue. New listings are down 6.6% from this time last year. With more houses selling and less coming on the market, our total active listing inventory has dropped. It currently sits at 2,970.

Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report The Greensboro real estate market in the first quarter of 2016 is off to an unprecedented start. Closed units are up almost 15% from 1,200 last year to nearly 1,400 this year. The number of homes closing this year looks like it will continue into the second quarter with 14% more units going under contract. We’re also seeing fewer homes come onto the market; with only 2,193 new listings, that figure is down more than 10% compared to 2015. Right now, the market is swiftly changing from a buyer's market to a seller's market. Sellers are seeing more showings and more multiple offer situations than I have seen in all of my 18 years in real estate! This has also caused the sales-to-list ratio to rise to 93.1%. As a seller, you need to consider getting your house on the market ASAP, because the right houses in the right condition that are priced correctly are in high demand. Your chances of getting top dollar for your house are the best we have seen in years. This type of demand is why forecasters are predicting a full 1% rise in mortgage interest rates. A 1% rise in interest rates is like a 10% jump in sales price from an affordability standpoint in monthly payments. As a buyer in the Greensboro real estate market, be prepared for a multiple offer situation. Act fast when you see a house come on the market that meets your criteria; go to see it the minute it comes on the market! You may not have much time to think about it before making an offer. A solid pre-approval from a lender is a must-have. Be ready to increase due diligence fees and earnest money deposits, and make sure your inspector can go quickly to keep due diligence days as short as possible. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask! Feel free to reach out with an email or phone call and I’d be happy to work with you.…
Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report Today, I’ll discuss why Zillow cannot accurately price your home in the surrounding Greensboro area. According to the LA Times , Zillow is a good start for finding a home price. However, the value they provide can be as much as 10% to 12% off! That can be incredibly inaccurate. What does that mean to you as a seller? What does that mean to you as a seller? If your home is worth $300,000, it can be worth $336,000, but Zillow won’t be able to estimate that. You could be giving your home away for a steal and missing out on a huge profit. You could also be pricing your home so high that it drives buyers to other homes. I highly recommend working with a professional, instead of an online algorithm. I’d be happy to assist you. If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home, reach out by phone or email at your earliest convenience! As a local real estate expert, I’m happy to answer any questions you might have and provide a free consultation.…
Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report Today we will be discussing how to time the spring market in the Triad if you're trying to sell your home. Should you put your home on the market now, or wait until there is more activity? We're going to explain what you should do right now. I always get asked about when the best time of year to sell a home is, and the truth is that it depends on a few factors. If you're trying to capitalize on the increased activity in the Greensboro area, you need to list soon. If you look at the 2015 numbers, you'll see in last March we had a 30% increase in sold units from the previous month. The thing you might not realize is that those homes that sold in March were on the market by Mid-January. Right now, we are seeing the same number of showings as we did at this point last year. The only thing that could possibly put a damper on this is bad weather. Freezing rain and snow will put a slowdown on any activity in our area. However, right now the weather's not too bad. If you're trying to sell for top dollar when that spring market hits, you want to consider putting your home on the market sooner rather than later. There are massive amounts of buyers out there looking and if you don't act soon, you could miss them. If you have any questions for us, or if you're thinking of buying or selling in Greensboro, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!…

Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report In today's video, we sat down with Robbie Rivardo from 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty to discuss why a buyer should consider getting a home warranty. For instance, let's say you have a home warranty with Robbie's company. If there's a failure in the home, you simply call the number, they send someone out, and if it's eligible for repair, they make the repair or the replacement. There's no negotiating; they simply take care of it. It's that easy. Typically when you buy a home, the seller will offer a home warranty. If the seller does not, then there is still an option to get a home warranty in the offer to purchase. Home warranties provide peace of mind and reduce the risks for everyone involved. When buying a home, it's not so much a question of whether something will break; the real question is when will something break. With this protection, you the buyer will save money on future repairs. To learn more about Robbie's company, go to http://www.2-10.com . If you have any questions on today's topic, or real estate in general, please give me a call or send me an email. We'd be happy to hear from you!…
Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report As the Greensboro market continues to heat up, multiple offers have become more common. Today, we want to discuss how this topic affects both buyers and sellers. As a buyer, it's important to understand that cash isn't always king. You need to make sure your agent asks the seller or the seller's agent what terms or conditions could help sway the seller in the direction of your offer! Writing a personal letter and sending a picture of your family may get the seller to emotionally connect with your offer. Additionally, having a pre-approval letter included with your offer will let the seller know you're a serious buyer. Remember, a pre-approval is not the same as a pre-qualification; a pre-approval is what you get when you turn in all of the documentation a lender needs to approve the loan, while a pre-qualification is the initial phone call to a lender. What can you do as a seller to prepare for multiple offers? We recommend getting your home pre-appraised and pre-inspected to give you more time to deal with your home's potential defects and find a third-party to support your price. The buyer will be more confident and you as a seller will have more realistic expectations for the deal. As a seller, you have to walk a fine line between accepting an offer too fast and waiting too long. Most often, our team sets a deadline for all parties to submit their offers and tells them to make it their highest and best. When selling, understand that the best offer isn't always the one that offers the most money. There are other terms that could be very important to you: closing date, type of financing, due diligence period, and the amount of deposits, among others. Does taking the offer with the most money cause more stress? If the answer is yes, you may want to look at another offer! If you have any questions about this topic, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We're always available to make your life in real estate as smooth and stress-free as possible!…
Looking to buy a Greensboro home? Search all homes for sale Selling your Greensboro home? Get a FREE home value report Today I'd like to speak about some of the more common mistakes that homeowners make when trying to buy a home. One big mistake is not getting pre-approved right away . People will often get excited and start searching for homes that are way out of their price range. Narrowing your home search from the beginning is important, and speaking with a lender about what you can afford to buy will help you accomplish this. Another mistake is not getting the proper inspections before you move into the home. Your home is likely your largest asset, so why wouldn't you want to protect that investment with a home inspection? Buyers also sabotage their own sale sometimes by making offers that are much too low, or being nit-picky about repairs. My advice is to repair the things that are important to you, and let the rest go. A few hundred dollars is not something that you want to lose a home over. I also suggest acting quickly in this market, because if you take too long to make an offer, the home may already be sold. We can help you avoid many of these pitfalls by having a one on one buyer consultation, where we will walk you through the process of buying a home. If you're thinking of buying or selling in Greensboro, please don't hesitate to give me a call!…
