Mortgage Rates Hit an All-Time Low:
Average interest on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to an all-time low of 4.69 percent this week, down from 4.75 percent a week ago, reports Freddie Mac.
It's a buyers market. Here are a few things to remember when trying to sell your home:
- Buyers make a decision about a house within the first 60 seconds - Curb Appeal matters.
- Homes sell for three (3) reasons: LOCATION, HOW IT SHOWS and PRICE
- Unfinished projects and deferred maintenance can kill a deal.
I encourge both the prospective buyer and seller to determine their budget and with the help of their Realtor; check out the comparable homes in the area. You may be surprised at what is out there. Your Real Estate professional may suggest you consult with a Home Stage Professional or Interior Decorator (most charge a small consultation fee) but it may be well worth it in the long run. I have also added several links that offer great, realtively inexpensive ideas to help sell your home.
Finally, I hope you all have the chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine!

What is your home worth? Market value is the amount prospective buyers are willing to pay at the time homeowners are ready to sell. The best way to find out the market value of your home is to ask me for help. I can ensure that you get the best price by providing and discussing with you the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). This is done at no charge to you.
