Buying Trumps Renting in 98 Out of 100 Major Metros…Trulia Article

Patrick Finn — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 21:16:43 +0000

Home prices have been falling for years while the rental market has tightened…making home ownership more affordable than renting in 98 out 100 largest metros in the U.S. This includes San Diego! Still the best advice would be to plan on being in an area at least five years before buying. At five years plus you are dollars ahead with the savings generated by the mortgage-interest deduction and other tax write offs. The only two metros where it is still better to rent than buy are Honolulu and San Francisco.

So what does all this mean? It means that there are fewer homes available for sale because the homes available are selling at a faster rate than new property listings are coming on the market. In real estate the technical term for this is absorption rate. The median price for a home in Santee has been decreasing over the last three weeks from $319,900 to $309,900. So if you are contemplating selling your home what can you expect? Homes that are priced competitively and in good condition continue to sell well. Expect your home to sell within 60 days to 90 days. The key word here is competitive. Buyers buy by comparison. The homes that offer the most value to prospective buyers are the homes that sell first! Questions on selling your home?

Top 15 Rules For Staging a Home – Santee Real Estate Market

Patrick Finn — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:42:09 +0000

I had a good read this morning on Agent Genius, a real estate website for real estate agents, on the top 15 “rules” for staging a house. My wife would probably disagree with point 13. “Sheer or no window coverings on all windows”. Most designers agree that it is important to “frame a window”…Using drapes on the side of the window so that a room looks finished. The closer a home seller can move towards completing this list the better the results they will obtain with the sale of their home.

Top 15 staging rules

According to the scientific study by Duke University, these are the top 15 staging rules listed with the most importantly ranked at the top of this list:

1. Removal of personal items from bathrooms.
2. Using rooms for their intended purpose.
3. Removing evidence of pets.
4. Turning on every light in the home during showings.
5. Vacant homes should be furnished.
6. Removal of garbage cans.
7. Removal of personal photographs.
8. Removal attention-grabbing or personal art or accessories.
9. Neutral paint colors on all walls.
10. Removal of appliances from kitchen counters.
11. Never placing the back of furniture facing any room entrance.
12.â€œTell a storyâ€ with staging (breakfast tray with mugs on bed).
13. Sheer or no coverings on all windows.
14. Use of scented candles, plug-in air fresheners or potpourri.
15. Chocolate chips baking in oven during showings.

Commonly reported additional rules that did not make the top 15 include an extremely clean, decluttered house with good curb appeal. I would add to this list having the house and the carpets professionally cleaned.
