Cliff's Notes…on Real Estate

10 cheap ways:

1. Paint the façade of your home including your front door.
2. Trim the plants and plant seasonal flowers.
3. Paint the inside of your home with neutral colors
4. Don’t forget all the flooring, replace, repair, or buff out.
5. Make major repairs, roof, pest report, property inspection recommendations
6. Buy a HPP (Home Protection Plan) so all systems are covered when you move
7. Make energy-efficient improvements and possibly get a tax credit
8. Replace light fixtures with modern ones and low energy bulbs
9. Buy a new stove for the kitchen
10. Replace the bathrooms: fixtures, shower heads, toilet seat, towels, and hand cloths

It should go without saying the homeowner should to a super through cleaning job and get rid of all dust, dirt, cobwebs, mold and any smells from pungent cooking odors, pet smells, or mildew.

There is nothing like a bright, fresh open air feeling to bring the buyers calling. Only caveat is to do these before you allow a prospective buyer in your lovely home.

Today I held an open house at 585 Anchor Circle in Redwood Shores.

The home was listed just under one million dollars.

The activity was amazing. There were over 25 groups through during a three hour time frame.

What that tells me is the market in San Mateo County is strong and robust! These guests of this open house were not nosey neighbors wanting to see the inside of their neighbors house. All of these guests were bonafide buyers ready to purchase the home of their dreams!

I am also seeing licensed real estate agents showing their clients homes. This week alone there were 7 showings of the home in Redwood Shores.

When I see this sort of activity in the market place it tells me sales are on the upswing. With increased sales there is a decrease in inventories.

If you are looking to purchase a home this year now is the time to do it. If you don’t some other buyer(s) is going to buy your home. Now is the time to make a decision.
