Tips for Selling Your House Fast in Stuart

July 30, 2018 By Realtor Millie Gil

Tips for Selling Your House Fast in Stuart
It’s easy to imagine that in a place like Stuart, with such great weather, houses would sell themselves, and quickly. But even in such a perfect location, there are tips sellers should follow for a successful home sale.

There’s a best time to sell fast in Stuart, according to sales data from 2014-2017. Home sales that closed in November spent 12 fewer days on the market. Since time on the market averages about three months, you should consider listing as soon as possible.

But markets can change unexpectedly and radically for all types of reasons, including shifts in the business scene and weather events. In Stuart’s case, the numbers for just 2016 show April as the best time to close, with houses spending 18 fewer days on the market. November was in second place and February in third place, with 16 and 14 fewer days respectively. Aside from November, clearly those numbers don’t reflect ongoing trends for the last few years, but they do show why it’s valuable to have an experienced realtor on your side. It’s their job to know the local market and what affects it and to advise you on where it’s headed. Use your agent’s knowledge and expertise for timing your sale.

In fact, your agent is your expert partner on every aspect of the home sale. To work with a real estate agent you’ve interviewed and chosen, remember that doing your part counts, and that can mean following their advice. For example, agents analyze the sales of comparable homes in your market and consider the unique assets and features of your house to calculate a listing price that’s competitive. It may not match what you wish the house would sell for, but too high a price will discourage buyers and leave your house lingering on the market, which is exactly what you don’t want it to do.

Also, your agent will know how your house can make its best first impression and what will give it the visual appeal that gets buyers to imagine living there. Success in these areas should not be underestimated, considering they’re ways buyers connect quickly to a house as the one they want. Try to do the updates, cleaning, landscaping, and/or staging that your agent recommends.

A third important tip to working with your agent is to communicate your needs clearly. Your agent would like you to speak up about things, such as when you have questions about the process or a piece of advice they gave. Let your agent know if you would rather be texted than emailed, and if you’d rather hear from them more or less often. Help your agent be the most successful possible partner for the fastest possible sale.

Flipping a Home in Florida-Clearing the Finance Barrier

February 25, 2014 By Realtor Millie Gil

Flipping a Home in Florida-Clearing the Finance Barrier

In conjunction with the rise in house prices, the profit potential for flipping a home in Floridais once more drawing the entrepreneur-minded.

Flipping a home is the process of purchasing a property—often one in a rundown condition—then improving its value and reselling it for a quick profit. Quick is the key word in this strategy, since a fast turnover allows capital to be devoted to purchase and renovation rather than operating and maintenance costs. It’s why successful house flippers generally focus on quick gains over maximizing profits.

While this has proven to be a lucrative strategy in the past, financing has always been the first major hurdle for anyone flipping a home in Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida. If you’ve been noticing some of the inviting house-flipping prospects in Florida, several financing routes sometimes make such a deal possible:

Larger Down Payment

Flipping a house in Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida in the current lending market will often require a significant down payment. Since launching the project might require at least 25 – 40% for financing, it’s essential that you prepare sufficient cash reserves to complete the renovations envisioned—and successful house flippers suggest you add 20% to the cost estimate!

Seller Financing

Seller financing—a mortgage provided by the home owner—is also called a ‘purchase money’ mortgage. Sellers may be willing to provide financing if they have had trouble selling their property, which is often the case when a Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida home flipper believes its value can be greatly enhanced by repair or remodeling. Seller financing would be more common were it not necessary that the original owner own the home outright.

Hard Money Loan

Hard money loans—also known as short-term bridge loans—are another common source of financing for flipping a home in Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida. Hard money loans are backed by the value of the property rather than the credit record of the borrower, and typically feature a lower loan-to-value ratio than found in a bank mortgage. The added risk has a cost: expect to provide a large deposit and a premium for the loan (often 8% or more).

While sub-prime mortgages may no longer be as readily available as they once were, there are still multiple sources of financing for entrepreneurs who can spot profit possibilities for flipping a home in Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida. With real estate prices continuing to rise, this Spring again holds promise in the house-flipping arena. Call me if you are interested in learning about some of the latest prospects!

An Open House in Florida is Like Your Own World Premiere

February 17, 2014 By Realtor Millie Gil

An Open House in Florida is Like Your Own World Premiere

Your first open house in Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida can be compared to a movie’s world premiere. We may not have strobes flashing and paparazzi jostling each other, but all eyes are definitely on the above-the-title headline star: your house.

It’s a star that has to look its glamorous best, too, or the fans will be disappointed. The purpose of any Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida open house is to sell buyers on the largely emotional dream of potentially owning your home. Doing so means banishing everyday imperfections—the debris created by daily living—from the stage (at least to the extent it’s practical). Absolutely essential is insuring that the whole property, inside and out, is clean and tidy.

Your first open house is one premiere that can use some set decoration and makeup wizardry, as well. They call it ‘staging’ when a professional sets the scene, but you don’t necessarily need a pro stager to make some magic happen. Clear away every bit of clutter, then open the rooms to as much flattering light as you can to create a setting that will appeal to buyers.

To insure the opening is as grand as possible, your Floridaopen house should be literally as “open” as possible. Restricting a room or two does not play well with the critics, so unless there is a real risk in allowing visitors access, understand that any serious buyer will need to see everything. Covering things up will look suspicious—even if you know you’re just doing so because one room is a little messy. Having a room or two blocked off has been known to deter otherwise interested prospects.

Part of movie’s success depends on good word-of-mouth, so consider inviting the neighbors to stop by. They’ll be happy to receive an invitation, and their presence can also work in your favor. When neighbors are there, mingling in the lobby with potential buyers, their first-hand information about the neighborhood, schools, etc. will carry ultimate believability.

First rate Hollywood premieres provide press kits by the score; your Realtor^® should do the same. A front table should have your agent’s color fliers with all the necessary information about the house…and you can consider taking it one step farther with a sheet of your own detailing what you love about the home, the neighborhood, the local schools, shops and restaurants. It’s the kind of souvenir that can keep your house in the running when buyers decide which properties rate a second visit.

Helping create Port St. Lucie, Palm City or Stuart Florida open house hits is just part of my job! If you are looking to sell your home this spring, contact me today to discuss the details of a marketing plan that will bring the results you want.

How a Florida Vacation Home Makes Financial Sense, Too

February 3, 2014 By Realtor Millie Gil

How a Florida Vacation Home Makes Financial Sense, Too

For many homeowners, it sounds more like a pipe dream than a carefully thought-out investment: getting your own Florida vacation home—a refuge where you can put your feet up, relax, and tune out the stress of daily life.True, if you look only at the cost of a Florida second home, it sounds like a pretty costly indulgence. But in many cases, stepping back to take in the bigger financial picture, it could wind up being one of the shrewdest financial decisions you can make!

Consider:

1. Vacation savings. Using your Florida vacation home more than once or twice a year can easily result in annual six-figure savings. The resort hotels and eateries’ loss is your gain when you and grateful relatives and friends are able to enjoy your vacation getaway.

2. Extra income. One of the motivating factors for many local vacation home owners is the possibility to create a new source of some extra income. When you consider renting out your vacation home when you’re not using it, your occasional renters can cover some of the property’s mortgage and operating expenses. Also, renting your vacation house increases the proportion of time that it’s in use, reducing the kinds of maintenance issues that can develop when minor problems go undetected—especially during winter months.

3. Tax advantages. A Hutchinson Island, Stuart or Port St. Lucie vacation home can become significantly more attractive when you take advantage of the considerable tax advantages. Consult your licensed financial advisor to confirm the details: in general, if you rent your second home for 14 days or less, it qualifies for the mortgage interest tax write-offs you get for your primary residence. And if you rent it out for more than 14 days in a year, a proportional amount of upkeep expenses can be deductible, as well.

4. Retirement prep. If your Hutchinson Island, Stuart or Port St. Lucie vacation home winds up becoming your home base for retirement, having acquired it early on as a vacation home now can be a terrifically wise move in the long run. By retirement, you will have built the kind of equity that reduces your mortgage debt, freeing up your retirement income stream for more pleasurable expenditures, like gambling, sumo wrestling, or even taking one of Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic rocket rides to an asteroid. Interested in investigating further? Call me today!

Having the right Florida real estate agent means having an agent who is committed to helping you buy your new Florida vacation home with the highest level of expertise in the local market. This commitment level has helped Bold Real Estate Group build a remarkable track record of delivering results.
