The Paradise Virtual Tour: a Tool for the 21st Century   My clients know how hard I strive to make every one of their home showings count. I know that your time is valuable, so cutting down on prospects who are not genuinely interested in homes like yours will conserve your energy for showings likely to pay off. It’s why creating a Paradise Virtual Tour can be so invaluable. According to the National Association of Realtors®, last year 90% of homebuyers used the Internet during their search. More and more frequently, what these buyers were looking for was to view a virtual tour of homes that piqued their interest. As the name suggests, a virtual tour gives potential buyers the chance to look both inside and outside of homes on their own computer, tablet or smartphone screen. Buyers simp...

Childproofing Your Paradise Home When it comes to decorating your home, there’s a lot more to consider than simply coordinating your window treatments with your carpet. This is especially true if you have children in the home, which presents a whole new concern for keeping them safe and sound. Take A Look Around When you take a quick glance throughout your home, what do you see? Is the home decorated for an adult or a child? If your little one is like most, he/she has a lot of energy and isn’t afraid to use it. To prevent a hard spill, many families replace hardwood or tile flooring with plush carpet or rugs for a little extra padding. If your child stumbles and falls, the extra cushioning will come in handy. Do you have any furniture with glass inserts or sharp corners, or do you see a...

Paradise Area Real Estate Values: No Kidding Around! Whenever you hear that a neighbor’s house is on the market, the same question flashes through nearly every homeowner’s mind: how much are they asking? That’s because of the nature of residential markets: our own homes’ real estate values (in fact, all Paradise real estate values) are connected with one another, and that asking price is an estimate of the current state of affairs. It has to be reasonable in order to attract the attention of serious buyers — but if it’s too reasonable, on closing day the seller will walk away with a lighter bank account than necessary. Real estate values in Paradise and Magalia are determined in large part by what other similar homes have recently sold for. These comparable sales show what a real world ...

Why buy high and sell low? Avoid rent increases. I think you’d probably agree that the worst investing advice in the world is: Buy high, sell low. That’s the very definition of losing money on an investment, right? So let me ask you: Why would you wait for the housing market to improve before buying a house? I understand there’s a lot of uncertainty out there. Job security is questionable, unemployment is high, and you’re not sure what it takes to get pre-approved for a home loan. It’s scary. But here’s the thing: Letting fear dictate your financial strategy for the future is a guaranteed way to pay too much for a house in the years to come.  Put fear aside for just a moment. Here are some facts: - Interest rates are at or close to historic lows  - Prices for homes have plunged to the l...

Paradise, California - 5 Tips to Save Money for First-Time Home Buyers Those who missed taking advantage of the first-time buyer tax credit but who are still planning the purchase of their first home, continue to have a wealth of opportunities in today’s marketplace. A few smart steps can save first-time buyers thousands of dollars. Here is a look at some of the ways how: 1. Don’t buy if you don’t plan to stay If you can’t commit to remaining in one place for at least a few years, then owning is probably not for you, at least not yet. With the transaction costs of buying and selling a home, you may end up losing money if you sell any sooner – even in a rising market. When prices are falling, it’s an even worse proposition. 2. Start by shoring up your credit Since you probably will need ...

The Benefits Of Paradise Home Ownership The decision to purchase a Paradise home is exciting and a major investment for your future. Because there is only so much of it to go around, real estate is the top choice for many investors and the desire for most families. This article is designed to highlight some of the many benefits of home ownership and how buying a home can often turn the American Dream into a reality. One of the most profitable markets in real estate is rentals, which means that many families are paying to live in a home that isn't their own. In some cases, renting a home is necessary. For all others, the money that would be spent on rent could instead be used to pay a mortgage. In fact, monthly rent payments often exceed that of a typical mortgage payment. One of the gr...

Top Ten Home Showing Tips Showing your home is essential in the real estate business. After all, who would purchase a property sight unseen? When a potential buyer stops in, here are ten recommended tips to follow when showing your home: Tip # 1: Welcome Your Buyers If you are still living in the home while it's being shown, graciously greet your potential home buyers and invite them to look around. Make sure that you instruct them to take their time and to ask any questions that they may have. It may be a good idea if you leave the home for a short time to allow the buyer to look without feeling restricted by your presence. A potential buyer is less likely to voice any concerns in front of the current homeowner, which is why it's better to leave your buyers with the REALTOR® and announ...

Getting Your Paradise Home Ready to Sell You would never dream of inviting guests to your house without making certain preparations, so don't invite potential buyers without first making the necessary updates by preparing your Paradise home to sell. If you are like most sellers, you want to get as much as possible for your home and you want to do it as quickly as possible. Letting Go After you've lived in a house, it becomes much more than four walls and a ceiling. It's a home and it has a lot of good memories. Your first step to preparing your home to sell is to realize that you will take these memories with you wherever you go, but you won't be taking the house. It can be difficult to let go, but the task will be much easier if you start to think of it as a new beginning rather than a...

Every so often you have to replace your kitchen, or at least update so it looks fresh and up to date. That's the way it is, and it isn't something that you can put off, especially once the kitchen doors start to look a bit tatty and you see them looking back at you every time you walk in the place. If you've got the budget to put in a whole new kitchen every few years, great, but not everybody can afford to do that and many turn to alternative ways of keeping it looking good. One of the simplest and most cost effective ways to freshen up a tired looking kitchen is to replace the doors on your cupboards and other units. You don't need to touch the units themselves, especially as the chances are that they will be still be perfectly serviceable and even if they are looking a bit battered ...

5 Inexpensive Home Updates to Complete before Listing Your Home August 2011—There is no perfect formula for selling your home efficiently, but by following these five tips prior to listing you can increase your chances to close quickly at a higher price. 1.) Update your old garage door(s). Garage doors seem like a non-issue, but many times they make up a significant percentage of the front of a home. Because of this, they are one of the first things that buyers notice when they pull in the drive way. Replacing, or even just painting, these central fixtures will do wonders when it comes to instantly impressing perspective buyers and standing apart from your competition. The market has changed drastically since many of us purchased our homes here in town. I frequently hear buyers say that...
