Scents That Could Sell Your Home Faster

by Leave a Comment

It is important to stage your home inside if you want to sell your house quickly. In an increasingly competitive market, the first impression a potential buyer has when they walk through your door is crucial.

The curb appeal will determine whether someone steps over the threshold. But, could it be that the first thing they see as they enter is undoing all the hard work they have put in?

While we don’t doubt that you love scented candles it is worth looking into which scents might make your home more appealing if you’re trying to sell. It’s a good place to put those popular and impactful scents in the entryway of your property.

Fresh laundry is a wonderful smell. Freshly washed linen is second in the list of scents that can help you sell your house. 36% of participants said it would win their hearts.

According to the survey, 27% of respondents rated this scent as a winner. You can also leave a French Press or a timer on your best espresso maker so that people feel at home.

There are certain scents or smells that you don’t want to have lingering in your home during house viewings.

It’s not surprising that 68% said moldy or damp smells would make them turn down a property. It is in your best interests to remove mold as soon as possible, regardless of whether you are selling.

Close behind were 64% of survey participants who said the smells of vomit and cannabis would turn them off. 55% of potential buyers also stated that this smell would cause them to reconsider putting in an offer.

Short suggests that you use a steamer or pet vacuum to remove any smells from your pets. Grapefruit, orange, and lemon scents are excellent at neutralizing the musky animal smells of pets. Citrus-scented candles are very popular and can add a pleasant, fresh-smelling fragrance to your home, no matter where they’re placed.

Rose, jasmine, and lavender are all good options for selling a home.

If you choose to light candles before house viewings, it is important to keep them out of reach of anything flammable, such as furniture, curtains, bedding, or decorations. To prevent an accidental fire from starting in your house, this is important. Also, don’t place lighted candles in areas where they could be damaged by animals, children, wind, or wind. Avoid lighting scented candles in rooms without windows or poor ventilation. This can make the room stuffy and overpowering.

Although the light of a candle can be enchanting, reed diffusers are safer and less fragrant than essential oil diffusers.

It’s an easy task to keep your home clean when you invite potential buyers in.

What To Look For In An Open House

by Leave a Comment

Although open houses can be staged to appear like a home decor vision, don’t let it distract from the main reason you are there: to possibly buy a house. You need to look beyond the beautifully arranged furniture and think only about whether the house is a good fit. Here’s a checklist for home buyers that might help you see things you missed.

Windows– Check to see if they face the sun, or if they look directly at a neighbor’s window.

Under-the-Sink Cabinets – Check for signs of water damage caused by leaking plumbing.

Electrical Outlets Make sure you have enough outlets to power your appliances and other electronic devices. You can then decide if you want to renovate.

Storage Space Don’t look just to determine if you have enough space. Also, consider the placement of your closets. You should also ensure that storage is located in a convenient place.

Appliances If they are part of the house, ensure they’re in good shape. You should have them on and running while you’re there.

Under the Rugs Lift any rugs off the floor to inspect the condition.

Floor Level Check to make sure the floors are level. You can test this by placing a small round object, such as a marble, on the floor. It will show if it moves in one direction.

Attic– Make sure it is well insulated if you have one.

Water Spouts Runoff from gutters should not be directed towards the house. Take a walk outside to check if it is.

Talk to a Preferred Properties of Texas agent  to see what else should be looked at.

If You Think The Housing Market Will Slow This Winter, Think Again

by Leave a Comment

The opportunity to benefit from today’s low mortgage rate and the changing homeowner requirements make it easier for Americans to purchase a home. Experts say buyers are moving right now, which is creating a strong market for home-buying at this time of the year. It is time to find out what this means as we move into next year’s early part.

What does this all mean for the winter market?

Buyers are actively looking for homes and are competing for them. All signs point to the market for winter housing picking up speed, as a result of the momentum from this fall. This will make it busier than usual. As we have seen, 2021 and 2020 were not typical real estate years. It appears that 2022 could be next on the list.

Bottom Line

You might be wrong if you believe the housing market will slow this winter. Call Preferred Properties of Texas to speak to one of our local real estate professionals if you are thinking of buying or selling a house this winter.

October Might Just Be The Best Time To Buy

by Leave a Comment

Are you thinking of buying a house? We have good news for those who are.

Although it’s clear that the housing market has had a fantastic year, most headlines focus on the benefits for buyers. What about buyers? You’ll likely be facing bidding wars as you look for the perfect home. You don’t have to feel discouraged if you are looking for your dream home.

There is a golden window for those who are looking to purchase a home.

There should be an increase in the number of homes for sale. realtor.com predicts that more homes will be on the market in October. According to the findings, 17.6% more homes will be available than we had at the beginning of the year.

This will allow you more choices, which is a relief in a tight housing market.

You should see a slight decrease in bidding wars as there are more homes on the market. Because there are so many options, buyers might not be as competitive for homes because they have more options.

This means that writing an offer may be less competitive and have a greater chance of winning the bid. It’s important to make a strong offer.

As we approach the end of the year realtor.com suggests that this week could also be one the most popular weeks for price reductions in the 2021. The data from the past shows that an average of 7.0% homes experience a price drop in this week. What is the reason? Why?

This means that although home prices continue to appreciate overall, there may be some homes where price adjustments are made by eager sellers. Closing a house is a lengthy process. Sellers may be more motivated to close by the end of the year if they can do it in October.

Don’t let your enthusiasm die if you are in the market to buy a home. According to data, early October could be the time you finally find the home of dreams. To keep you motivated and on the right track to finding the perfect home, you should rely on an experienced real estate professional as your advisor. Give us a call today.
