Top Tips For Sellers: Fix and clean Make any minor repairs necessary holes in walls, broken door knobs, cracked tiles, torn or threadbare carpets. Many buyers want to move in without making changes, so allow for this. Clean everything until it sparkles. Get rid of limescale, clean and repair tile grout, wax wooden floors, get rid of all odors, hang up fresh towels. This will make the place more appealing and allow viewers to imagine living there.... Tidy up the garden: cut back brush, clean the patio and furniture of lichen and dirt, and cut the grass. While this doesn’t add much value to your home it makes it more likely to sell as people visualize themselves using the garden. #homesforsaleininlandempire #homesforsaleinsanbernardinocounty #homesforsaleinriversidecounty #gailsheltonrealtor #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerrealestate #clientsforlife

Mortgage Rates Are Back Under 3% Mortgage rates are back under 3% for the first time in weeks. The drop in rates followed a downward trend for the 10-year Treasury yield, which rates closely follow. The economy is gaining momentum, however, and consumers can expect mortgage rates to rise in the upcoming months, Nadia Evangelou, senior economist and director of forecasting for the National Association of REALTORS, writes at the association’s Economists’ Outlook blog.... For now, the drop in mortgage rates is good news for home buyers and homeowners, too. #homesforsaleininlandempire #homesforsaleinsanbernardinocounty #homesforsaleinriversidecounty #gailsheltonrealtor #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerrealestate #clientsforlife

Do It for the Right Reasons. Ask yourself: "Is it really time for me to buy a home?" Don’t buy a home just because everybody’s doing it or because your Uncle Joe told you that it’s stupid to throw money away on rent.... Don’t buy a home because it’s a buyer’s market or just because of low mortgage rates. Buy a home because you want to be a homeowner. Buy a home because you’re settling down and need a place to live for at least five years. And buy a home only if you’re financially ready. #homesforsaleininlandempire #homesforsaleinsanbernardinocounty #homesforsaleinriversidecounty #gailsheltonrealtor #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerrealestate #clientsforlife

Pick the Right Type of House and Neighborhood. Weigh the pros and cons of different types of homes, given your lifestyle and budget. A condominium or townhome may be more affordable than a single-family home, but shared walls with neighbors will mean less privacy. Don't forget to budget for homeowners association fees when shopping for condos and townhomes, or houses in planned or gated communities. ... Another option to consider is buying a fixer-upper a single-family home in need of updates or repairs. Fixer-uppers usually sell for less per square foot than move-in ready homes. However, you may need to budget extra for repairs and remodeling. #homesforsaleininlandempire #homesforsaleinsanbernardinocounty #homesforsaleinriversidecounty #gailsheltonrealtor #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerrealestate #clientsforlife

Some Buyers Bring an Interior Designer Along in House Shopping. Some home buyers bring an interior designer on home tours, seeking their feedback on how properties may be renovated to fit their design tastes. As home prices surge, buyers may consider homes whose conditions bring a lower listing price but carry the potential to be renovated into the property they desire.... In many cases, interior designers go beyond recommendations on furnishings and wall colors to give the buyer a bigger picture for renovating spaces. They can evaluate whether the home has good bones for reasonably priced renovations that will fit within their client’s budgets #homesforsaleininlandempire #homesforsaleinsanbernardinocounty #homesforsaleinriversidecounty #gailsheltonrealtor #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerrealestate #clientsforlife

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. -Zig Ziglar #homesforsaleininlandempire #homesforsaleinsanbernardinocounty #homesforsaleinriversidecounty #gailsheltonrealtor #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerrealestate #clientsforlife

Decide how much you can afford. In deciding whether you can afford to buy, you’ll have to figure out how much home you’re able to buy in the first place. One rule of thumb for figuring out this number: Your home should cost no more than 2.5 times your gross annual income. Of course, this just gives you a ballpark figure. It doesn’t consider your net worth or your other financial goals.... Once you know the number you’re working with, you’ll have a better idea of whether or not buying a home is a smart financial move for you. #homesforsaleininlandempire #homesforsaleinsanbernardinocounty #homesforsaleinriversidecounty #gailsheltonrealtor #coldwellbanker #coldwellbankerrealestate #clientsforlife
