Selling your home in Albuquerque can be a challenge. Many home sellers decide to hire a pro to help them stage their home to attract more buyers.  But if you don’t want to spend that extra money, there’s certainly some helpful tips from the pros that you can do on your own to help your home sell more quickly and maybe even get more money in the sale. Here’s a few tips that can help.

De-Clutter

Having a spotless home - it may seem like a simple concept. But it is so essential to make sure that your home is free from clutter.  Don’t just get rid of daily clutter. Get rid of items you haven’t used in years.  This serves both the purpose of making your home clean, but it will also help the moving process once your home is sold. Your home has to be cleaner than it’s ever been, so make sure you clean with prejudice.  And if you can’t bear to throw certain things away, think about storing them in an outside storage unit (not in the garage or shed as they need to see those clean as well).

Curb Appeal

What do buyers see first when they look at your home? Of course it’s the outside. They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to real estate, that’s not always true. Many times, the outside reflects the inside. Some buyers will just drive on by if the outside looks bad.  So make sure the yard is clean and maintained.  Add a fresh coat of paint to the siding and trim.  Gleaming hardware and a few potted plants also help. Power wash the walkways and driveway. Also think about investing in new roofing if it’s showing its age.

Do a Walk-Through

Try to see your home with new eyes by doing a walk-through from the buyer’s perspective.  You can see not only what needs cleaning, but things that need to be changed. What could be removed to make the room look bigger? Could you change a solid door with a French door to let in more light? Do the kitchen cabinets need new hardware? Even simple changes can make a huge difference.

Other things you can look at in your home are making sure your foyer is clean and clutter free, making the rooms more generic and versatile, find ways to let in more light, cleaning the fridge and organize the cupboards.

Are you ready to sell your home in Albuquerque? If so, then now is the perfect time to sell. Typically, Spring is usually the best time of year to sell a home. But there are other factors taking place right now that make selling your home this Spring even more advantageous. Here are the 4 reasons you should sell your home now.

1. Strong Demand

The National Association of Realtors Buyer Traffic Report shows that buyer traffic is strong in New Mexico. Buyers are ready and able to buy right now. And the more buyers on the market means that they are competing with each other to buy homes, meaning a bidding war could happen over your home. In the end, that could mean more money in your pocket.

2. Less Competition

Housing inventory has been declining for the past 32 months, remaining under the normal 6-month supply. That means there’s not enough homes for all the buyers. That’s a good thing for you if you’ve built up equity in your home. But this situation may not last long. The average number of years that homeowners stayed in their homes has been around 9-10 years since 2011. This was due to the previous negative equity that kept many homeowners from selling. Now as values are rising, more will be enticed to sell.

3. The Process Will Be Quicker

The competition among buyers has forced them to do what they can to stand out from the market, which includes getting pre-approved for their financing. This speeds up the selling process and makes it simpler, as buyers will be more likely to know how much they can spend.

4. Time to Move Up

If you plan on moving into a more premium or luxury home, now is the ideal time. Higher priced homes are actually selling for less due to a higher inventory at this price range. So if you’re selling a starter home, your home will sell more quickly and you’ll be more likely to find a premium home.Don’t wait to let the best time for the year slip by to sell your home in Albuquerque. Sell now while the time is ripe. Sandi Pressley and her expert team can help you sell your home in record time and find the home of your dreams in Albuquerque.

If you plan on selling your home in Albuquerque, one important question to ask is if your home is up to date or needs repairs.  A dated or worn down appearance can take away from the resale value.  However, the balance is that you want to avoid spending tons of money that won’t be recouped in the sale.  How do you decide what repairs or improvements are worth the investment? I f you come to the conclusion that your home needs improvements, then you need to pin down which ones will yield the highest returns.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking every improvement will increase the value of your home. Many projects will simply preserve the value, while others will help increase it.  So if you do those projects, the value won't be as adversely affected when you sell your home.

So to get down to it, what are the projects that get the highest ROI?

Outside Projects

Think about curb appeal. First impressions are lasting impressions as they say.  Basically any project that boosts curb appeal is worth the investment. Outside projects that can recoup the most money are garage door replacements, replacing a steel door entry, adding a wood deck, and siding and facade projects. Even if you just focus on the siding, it can improve the value of your home with minimal investment.

Kitchens and Baths

Potential buyers can spend the most time inspecting a kitchen and we all know why.  Many lives center around the kitchen and rely on its appliances. If your kitchen has the old yellow fridge and oven, they need to go. And don’t forget about the bathrooms.   They send a powerful message about your home, so you can expect a high ROI on a bathroom remodel.

The Little Things

Don’t have a lot of money to invest in a major remodel?  No problem. Focusing on the little things can also have a big impact on the resale value of your home. You can give your home a fresh coat of paint, trim trees and bushes, plant new bushes and landscaping. De-cluttering and cleaning your home only costs time. If you have an unfinished basement, you can put gray epoxy on the floor and paint the walls white. Never underestimate the power of improving the little things.

Every home is different, and so is every Albuquerque neighborhood. If you're not sure what improvements would be best to sell your home in Albuquerque, feel free to ask us. We know what sells a home in Albuquerque and what buyers are looking for.

You’re buying your first home in Albuquerque and the excitement abounds.  But you have to be careful that all the excitement doesn’t cloud your vision.  It’s easy to see the exterior of a home and how much you like (or dislike it).  But you need to see the inside as well.  How was it maintained? What issues will come up when you buy the home? If you know these things in advance, you can save on expensive repairs in the future.

This is even more important as a first time buyer. First time buyers usually don’t have the experience to know what warning signs to look for in a home.  Hiring a home inspector will definitely help in this regard.  Here’s a list of warning signs to look for.

Foundation  

• Look for cracks in the driveway, walls and sidewalks                                                                  
• Are the floors, windows and doorways crooked or not level?                                                        
• Are there large trees with roots near the foundation?
• Do the inside doors jam or have gaps on the top of them?

Electrical

• Are there any exposed wires?
• Do the lights flicker?
• Are outlets warm to the touch?
• Are there any visible signs of electrical tape?
• Look for flash burns near socket covers.

Roof

• Look for missing or cracked shingles and significant wear and tear.
• Are there mismatched materials or curled or warped shingles?

Plumbing

• Do the faucets leak?
• Are there water stains under the sinks or around toilet or tub
• Check how the bath and sinks drain.
• Do you smell foul odors near sinks?
• Check the water pressure in sinks and bath.

Mold

• Do you see any water stains on walls?
• Is any mold visible?
• Is there a musty smell?
• Check for rotted wood around doors and windows.
• Is the paint peeling?

Insects or Pests

• Are there signs of termites and carpenter ants?
• Are there ways for rodents to enter the house?
• Is any exposed interior wood damaged?

Poor Workmanship

• Do repairs look professional?
• Do renovations look armature?
• Are any tasks uncompleted?

Checking these items can go a long way to making sure you pay the right price for your first home and know more fully what you’re buying.

Are you ready to buy your first home in Albuquerque? Obviously, buying a home for the first time is a major life decision.  You will be investing a large amount of money and time in this adventure.  Do you know all the steps involved in the home buying process? It's important to know the steps along the journey and what tools are available.  You also need to forge relationships with experts in Albuquerque who can help you along the way.

Here are the 11 steps to living the dream of owning your first home.

1. Do Your Homework
   Any large purchase requires planning, and that is particularly true with buying a home in Albuquerque. Factors such as price, housing type, neighborhood, school districts, and more need to be considered. Here's a worksheet that can help you pin down what you're really looking for. Fill it out with your partner (if you're not single) and your agent.  That way everyone is one the same page - literally.
   
   
2. Start Shopping For Homes in Albuquerque
   Now that you know what you're looking for, start looking for listings online.  Here's a great tool for finding the ideal home in Albuquerque and surrounding communities.
   
   
3. Find a Great Agent
   We're ready to help you find the perfect first home and help you through the process.
   
   
4. Choose a Lender
   After you find the right agent, we can help you find the right mortgage lender. This is an important step as your lender will be working closely with you throughout the process.
   
   
5. Pick a Loan
   Your lender will work with you to determine the right mortgage to fit your financial needs.  You'll need to provide proof of income, employment, and other details.
   
   
6. Look at Homes
   Now comes the fun part! Your agent will help you find homes in in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas in New Mexico that fit your budget and the needs you determined in step 1.
   
   
7. Make an Offer
   When you find the ideal home, then you make the offer.  Your agent will help you decide how much you want to pay, along with contingencies that both parties can agree on.
   
   
8. Negotiate, Negotiate, Negotiate
   Now comes the time where you work out the deal for your new home in in Albuquerque.  It can be an emotional time, especially if you really want the house. Some sellers may just accept your offer, but some may make a counter-offer.  Your agent will work with you to decide what to do.
   
   
9. Inspect the Home
   When an offer is accepted, then you'll sign a contract that will no doubt include a home inspection contingency.  At this point you'll hire a licensed home inspector to look for needed repairs. If major repairs are needed, then the seller will be asked to make those repairs.
   
   
10. Appraisal
    Your lender needs to determine if the home is worth enough to cover the mortgage.
    
    
11. Close the Deal
    The home is close to being yours! You just need to sign the final paperwork to finish the deal.  Then it's time to show off your new home to all your family and friends!

Everyone knows that the best time to sell anything is when demand is the highest for that item and the supply is low. If you plan on selling your home in Albuquerque, there’s great news.  Two major reports released by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) revealed information that suggests that now is a great time to put your home on the market in Albuquerque.

Here is the data covered in the latest REALTORS® Confidence Index and Existing Home Sales Report that shows this.

REALTORS® CONFIDENCE INDEX

Every month, NAR surveys “over 50,000 real estate practitioners about their expectations for home sales, prices and market conditions.” This month, the index showed (again) that home buying demand continued to outpace the supply of homes available in January.

The map below illustrates buyer demand broken down by state.  If you look at Arizona, you can see that buyer demand is strong in this state, which is great news is you plan on selling your home in Albuquerque

In addition to revealing a high demand for homes, the index also shows that compared to conditions in the same month last year, seller traffic conditions were strong in Arizona.

That shows that demand for housing continues to be strong, but supply is struggling to keep up, and this trend is likely to continue throughout 2018.

THE EXISTING HOME SALES REPORT

The most important data revealed in the report was not sales but was instead the inventory of homes for sale (supply). The report explained:

• Total housing inventory rose 4.1% from December to 1.52 million homes available for sale.
• Unsold inventory is 9.5% lower than a year ago, marking the 32nd consecutive month with year-over-year declines.
• This represents a 3.4-month supply at the current sales pace.

According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at NAR:

“Another month of solid price gains underlines this ongoing trend of strong demand and weak supply. The underproduction of single-family homes over the last decade has played a predominant role in the current inventory crisis that is weighing on affordability.”

There’s a guideline that often applies in Albuquerque Real Estate; when there is less than a 6-month supply of inventory available, we are in a seller’s market and we will see appreciation. Between 6-7 months is a neutral market, where prices will increase at the rate of inflation. More than a 7-month supply means we are in a buyer’s market and should expect depreciation in home values.

As mentioned earlier, there is currently a 3.4-month supply, and houses are going under contract fast. The Existing Home Sales Report shows that 43% of properties were on the market for less than a month when sold.

In January, properties sold nationally were typically on the market for 42 days. As Yun notes, this will continue unless more listings come to the market.

“While the good news is that Realtors in most areas are saying buyer traffic is even stronger than the beginning of last year, sales failed to follow course and far lagged last January’s pace. It’s very clear that too many markets right now are becoming less affordable and desperately need more new listings to calm the speedy price growth.”

Inventory of homes for sale is still well below the 6-month supply needed for a normal market and supply will ‘fail to catch up with demand’ if a ‘sizable’ supply does not enter the market.

Are you planning to buy a home in Albuquerque and have kids in school? Then no doubt you want to find the right home near the best schools in Albuquerque.  You certainly don’t want to end up regretting buying your home if it turns out that the school you live near isn’t right for your child.

You may think that your real estate agent can show you all the best schools in Albuquerque. But they can’t. Fair housing laws have been enacted that prevents agents from recommending schools.  Why? It was discovered that some agents in recent years have been labeling schools as "bad" to swing the sales of homes toward more affluent neighborhoods. So it’s a good thing that agents in general aren’t allowed to recommend schools. That means that you as a parent should research the best schools in Albuquerque for your children. After you find a school you think would best suit your children’s needs, then your agent can help you find the right home near that school.

There are at least 3 questions you should ask when finding the right school in Albuquerque.

What school will you child attend?

Sure this may seem obvious, and that’s why some people forget to ask it. There are dozens of schools in the Albuquerque Public School district, so that means you have a lot of schools to choose from. Their website has a great deal of information about schools in Albuquerque that should be useful in finding a good school.

What are the numbers?

Even though numbers don’t provide a complete perspective, they are a great place to start. You can find helpful ratings and scores on websites such as GreatSchools.org and Niche.com. They use test scores, reviews, and other factors to rate the best schools in a given area.

What about reputation?

If you know people in the area you want to move to in Albuquerque, ask them what they know the schools in the area. You might even meet with the principal of a school to get an even closer look, presuming you can make such an arrangement. See if they can give you a tour of the school with your child present.  Look at class sizes.  Is the library well stocked? What does your child think about the school? These are great indicators to look for.

Finding the right school and the right home for sale in Albuquerque is worth the effort.  Once you do find a great school for your child, let us help you find the right home near that school.  Our powerful search tools can help you find homes for sale near the schools of your choice in Albuquerque.  Also make sure to take advantage of our Home Buyer Listing Alerts to get automated alerts of homes as they hit the market. And you can always feel free to call us at 505-980-2999 to speak with an experienced agent.
