blankSelling your house - When to get the best value?
blank
real estate image
The Spring market is a great time to list your house for sale, the pool of buyers who are looking may be at its largest. You will, of course, get more money for the sale of your house if you have the most people looking at it.
You may find though, that there are many houses for sale at this time of year. In a slower market this may drive prices down further. In addition, there may be many 'lookers' at this time of the year.

Summer is not as busy as the Spring Real Estate Market. You may find that there are leftover buyers who have not yet found their dream houses. Maybe yours will fit the bill.

The Fall is probably the second busiest time in real estate. Kids are back in school, vacation time is over and many people use this time to look for new houses. One pitfall to be aware of is that Winter is coming. If you are selling your house during the Fall Real Estate Market, be sure not to overprice it.

There may be many good reasons to sell your house during the winter. It is essential to price your house correctly at this time of year, as there will be a limited amount of buyers, so make sure that they don't overlook your house.

Although there will be fewer buyers at this time of year, you can be pretty sure that they are serious, qualified buyers. The same will hold true for the cold month of January. If a buyer makes an appointment to see your house during this time of year, he or she will most likely be a serious buyer.

The extra living space that a finished basement can provide is a real bonus. Here are some key points to consider to provide the best situation for your family.


1. CREATE GOOD HEADROOM.
a minimum of 6 ft. 8 in., but 7 ft. 6 in. or more is ideal.

2. THE NEXT ISSUE IS WARMTH.
Insulate walls, upgrade windows and address the issue of cold concrete floors.

3. ADD LIGHTING.
with dimmer switches and arrange in small well lit areas.

4. PAINT COLORS.
should be warm but not dark. Trim should be painted white or off-white, semi-gloss.

4. STORAGE.
can be added at a relatively low cost. Combine areas that are hidden behind doors with some open shelving to make the space seem bigger.
