Are you ready to make the transition to a new home? Or at least take a few steps to get there? If so, you’ll need to think about selling your current property, and you’re probably hoping to get the best price possible. Renovations can be a great value booster. The right changes appeal to buyers and help you make a great return on your investment.... Here are four ways you might want to renovate before selling. Fresh Paint Job: A new coat of paint is one of the most affordable renovations and you can even do it yourself. Uplifting colors, like taupe or soft teal, can make a room look brighter. Remember that the more neutral the area, the easier it is for buyers to picture themselves living there. Countertops and Light Fixtures: If you want to make your home look new without undergoing a full remodel, updating the countertops and light fixtures can work wonders. Similar to paint colors, it’s best to stick with simple styles. Break-Even Remodel: Did you know the kitchen and bathrooms are the most important parts of the house? To interest buyers, consider a break-even remodel in these lived-in spaces. If the cabinets and floors are outdated, try low-cost upgrades (like new hardware) so the rooms look more modern. Market Trends: Before deciding which renovations to make, check out the latest trends in home design. Choosing improvements based on what’s popular can help your house stand out to buyers both online and in person. Preparing your home to sell is easier with an experienced professional in your corner.

Year over year statistical data for Sonoma County ending November 20, 2020: Each month we look at our most recent past months’ activity and compare it to a year ago and devise an overview of how the housing market is moving. What all of us will remember as the COVID-19 Pandemic year has actually produced some extraordinary housing statistics. You probably know a REALTOR or two who are crazy busy. This is true for most agents who have been in business for 7+ years. The flip si...de is there are many REALTORS not having such a great year. The reason behind the 7+ year assessment is those agents who have been in business for longer than 7 years have a tremendous amount of past clients to pull from. We live in a world of distrust. It seems everyone is skeptical about everything. Our elections are questioned, the pandemic we are in is questioned and it seems as though the trust has become a very big issue. Newer agents rely heavily on open houses, lead generation, and gaining trust from new prospects. Today that is challenging because consumers have such distrust they are tuning to referrals and recommendations more than ever. As one of the largest and most successful real estate teams in the county, we see our fair share of the market. The first statistics we look at is our monthly pricing trends. The pending stats are what we consider the most important because they can give us insight as to where the market is heading. Since July 2020 we have seen a steady decrease in pending sales. This is in part a natural seasonal adjustment and well above our pending numbers from a year ago. Our current pending properties as of November 20, 2020, is 492. For the same month a year ago we see a pending number of 330. This is a +49.1% increase in sales. The next number we look at is the new listings number. this is the number of new properties listed for sale during a given month. Here the trend is even more concerning since we are in a listing drought. Look at the number of new listings in November of 2020 (779) and compare this number to the same month a year ago with (985) in new listings. That’s a decrease in -20% inventory. If we peek back to October, September 2019 we can see substantial drops in inventory compared to a year ago. You can see a consistent decline since the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lock-down.
