Unless you’re willing to devote endless time, energy, and capital to the sale of your home — it’s infinitely easier and faster to enlist Stark Real Estate Group to help you through the process.
It takes daily focus, determination, and hours of work to sell a house; as well as monetary risk — that’s why less than 8% of successful United States home sales are facilitated without a qualified agent.
We’ll remove the stress from the process as well as the relentless e-mails, phone calls, and paperwork.
But there are a few things you should know before getting started!
Stark Real Estate Group specializes in the chemistry of home valuation and can help you get the best price possible.
Location is an extremely important factor in home sales. A number of items need to be considered including area school rankings (which are correlated with home value), crime rates, nearby amenities, environmental factors (has the city had problems with drinking water? Is there nearby fracking?), recent area news, and more
Older homes can be harder to maintain and often require significant upgrades (such as new electrical wiring). The value can go significantly down due to wear and tear but the value can also go up if in a historical district or has landmark status. Also, when renovated, the value can go up exponentially. We have renovated several historical homes that became attractive investment properties. Newer homes typically have more open floor plans, newer appliances and are more turnkey to sell. Age is an important factor when listing house.
Keeping your home in prime condition can counter its age. Buyers are keen to overlook age if the house feels and operates like its years younger than it actually is. When listing a house, it's important to go over all the possible check points for the condition of the house in order to show effectively and attract more attention. Hiring the right photographer to portray the house in the best light is extremely important. We partner with some of the best photographers in the area.
Home size (specifically square footage) influences the perception of home value in a positive way. Bigger houses typically go for more money — but design and layout can also impact the value. Traditional/neutral layouts tend to sell for higher prices than complex, creative layouts.
Because the housing market is fluid, so is your home’s value. Prices rise when there’s less housing available and fall when there’s an overabundance of housing. The time of your sale should be taken into consideration.
Your home’s record of sale can say a lot about its value. If it has been sold several times in recent years, the average selling price may help establish its value with potential buyers.
