Are You Listing Your Home This Fall? These 5 Tips Can Help

If you’re going to be putting your home on the market this fall, there are a few key things you’ll need to know first. 
 
Fall is right around the corner. So, before you move forward with listing in the coming season, I’ve got five things for you to consider.
 
1. It’s still a very hot seller’s market. Here in Central Florida, interest rates are still down, affordability is great, and there is strong buyer demand. In fact, 40% of the homes that go on our local market are going under contract within eight days of being listed.
2. Don’t over-improve your home. It seems natural to want to put a lot of time and money into fixing up your property before you list. However, sinking too much money into unnecessary upgrades and renovations won’t always bring a high return. Things like decluttering, depersonal ...

Why Sellers Are in the Driver's Seat Right Now

Want to sell your Orlando Home? Get a free home value report | Want to buy an Orlando Home? Search all homes for sale


Right now in Central Florida we’re seeing an extremely hot market for sellers. But what exactly does this mean? 
 
As you might have guessed, there are a lot of benefits. 
 
First of all, this kind of market means that sellers have the ability to price aggressively. This all comes down to supply and demand, and demand is at an all-time high. 
 
Sellers right now are able to price up to 20% over market value because of how few homes are available. In fact, supply continues to decrease to the two months we’re seeing now. 
 
Obviously, pricing will also be affected by the appraised value; however, this kind of situation is still hugely beneficial. 
 
Also, multiple offer situations are extremely common right now. They can often lead to the best deal since buyers are being forced to compete with ...

How to Be Successful in Multiple-Offer Situations

Want to sell your Orlando Home? Get a free home value report | Want to buy an Orlando Home? Search all homes for sale


Here in Orlando, the market is hot and more often than not we are finding that buyers are competing in multiple-offer situations. Unless you really understand what it takes to be successful, you’re properly educated by a great agent, and know how to position yourself in these situations, then you will find yourself easily frustrated by the home buying process. So today I wanted to list four things that you can do to compete in multiple-offer situations.
1. Be fully pre-approved by a local lender. You want to make sure that they will absolutely go to bat for you in these types of situations. The days of getting pre-qualified are over; you have to be fully pre-approved and have undergone an underwriting process. You should also look for a lender who knows the market well and is well-respected locally. They should be someone who is willing to call the seller ...
