3 Reasons Your Albuquerque Home Isn't Selling

by Sandi Pressley

"Why isn't anyone buying my house?" That's a question asked by many a home seller. You may think your home is a gem, but in reality, it may not be as desirable as you think it is.

When it comes to selling your home in Albuquerque, there's no magic formula. It's pretty basic. These problems below will definitely keep your home from selling. Look at these with an open mind and see it they apply to your situation if your home has been on the market too long.

Because your home is ugly

This is a tough thing to admit, but your home may not be the palace you think it is. And just so we're clear, "ugly" can also stand for:

• Cluttered
• Outdated
• Dirty
• Messy
• Tacky

Unless they are an investor, few home buyers are able to walk through a mess of a home and see its potential. You need to have your home in a clean and presentable state to affectively market it. Your home also needs to be free of personal items, such as photos, knickknacks, artwork, or just anything that will be distracting to a potential buyer.

Because your price is unrealistic

This is the No. 1 most common problem with homes that are not selling, says MSN. "If you're guilty of having "a 'what the heck are they thinking?' price tag," they say, you can expect to sit on the market for a while.

"Price is usually the overriding factor in any home that doesn't sell. Whatever its problem, it can usually be rectified by adjusting the price."

Adds U.S. News: "Without question, the No. 1 reason a home doesn't sell is price. Sellers have an emotional attachment to their homes and tend not to be objective about the true value."

Don't let your emotions get in the way of selling your home. Think of it as a business transaction. Remember that the market sets the price, and your real estate agent knows the best price to set. Rely on their judgement and your home will sell faster.

Because you're not cooperating

One of the main reasons a house will not sell is because the seller is not cooperating. This is one of the reasons a house will be overpriced, chasing away buyers. Uncooperative sellers also tend to ignore other advice from their agent, about keeping the home tidy, being available when needed, being open to price reductions, being able to make the house available for open houses, and agreeing to terms when there is a contract discussion.

When it comes to showings, it not about what's convenient for you. It needs to be convenient for the buyer. If they can't view your home on their schedule, they will just go onto the next home. Think of them as the customer. You need to cater to what they need, not the other way around.

To be fair, selling a home is never easy. But if you make your home presentable, set a fair price, and work with your agent and buyers, you should have no trouble selling your home in Albuquerque.

These Home Exterior Tips Will Help You Sell Your Albuquerqe Home Faster

by Sandi Pressley

Selling a home in Albuquerque can be a rewarding but challenging endeavor. There are many tips that can help you sell your home faster and for a higher price. When it comes to first impressions, your home's exterior is everything. The way the outside of your home looks can very well make or break a sale before the buyer looks any further. So here are a few tips to help you make the best first impression for potential Albuquerque home buyers.

Minor Repairs

Making minor repairs is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to boost curb appeal. If you have repairs to make, it's a good idea to make them before putting your home on the market. Home buyers might see these repairs as a red flag and make them think twice about the rest of the home. Every repair you make to your exterior can make a difference.

Clean Up Landscaping

If you think that keeping up your landscaping was important before you decided to sell your home, it's even more important when it's on the market. Messy landscaping can be a big turnoff. Not only will your messy yard look like a big project, but it will also hurt the overall curb appeal of the property. At the very least, you should clean up debris, mow the lawn, and trim hedges. The more you do, the better.

Pressure Wash

How clean is the siding and concrete on your property? If in doubt, go ahead and rent or buy a pressure washer, or hire a pro to clean up your exterior. Doing so will give your home a fresh and clean look that makes a huge impact on curb appeal.

When using a pressure washer, just make sure that you use the right setting for your type of exterior walls. You don't want to end up stripping any paint in the process.

Structural Repairs

If you home has any structural issues that could turn off buyers. Keep in mind that a buyer who makes an offer will hire a home inspector. If they find serious issues, they may back out of the deal or you may have to lower the price. You can beat them to the punch by inspecting your home first and taking care of any deal-breaking issues.

Lighting

If you have lighting on the exterior of your property, you should make sure that it is functional and turned on. This will help to ensure that your lighting system is working right. If you have a visitor at night, it will also give a great curb appeal improvement to any buyer.

When you are looking to improve the landscaping and overall exterior of your home, you should consider the individual needs of your property. We can provide you with a fair assessment of your property to help you get a better sense of what needs to be done to sell your home faster.

Tips for Selling Your Albuquerque Home During the Holidays

by Sandi Pressley

Most home sellers in Albuquerque don't think that selling a home during the holidays is a good idea. It's a busy time of year for most people.

But there are some real benefits of selling your home during the holiday season. There's less competition for one thing, as most people sell during the spring and summer. Buyers also have more time off and are more available for showings.

If you decide to sell your home during the holidays, there are things you can do to make it an easier process.

Stage It Accordingly

You can use the holidays to make your home more inviting to buyers. Just make sure not to overdo it. You can add some simple and tasteful decorations that will warm up the home without hiding it's features.

Focus on the cozy features like the fireplace. And it’s a great time to use the classic real estate trick of baking cookies when someone comes for a showing. Make sure your home is warm temperature-wise as well.

Clean-Up the Curb Appeal

Winter may make landscaping a little more challenging, but you need to make your yard as appealing as you can. Clean up the yard, clean up the exterior of your home, and illuminate pathways. Also make sure that there’s a mat at the door so people coming to see your house can wipe their feet.

Price It Accordingly

Your agent can work with you to develop the right pricing strategy based on their assessment of the data. Many variables go into pricing, but you may need to go a little lower than you’d like if you are selling around the holidays.

If you’re selling during the holidays, it’s not the time to haggle. During this time of year, it’s often better to price it right from the start instead of making price reductions later.

Work with a Reliable Agent

Working with an experienced agent during the holidays will make all the difference. Sandi Pressley and her team have been rated the #1 real estate agents in New Mexico, so you can count on them to help you make the sale.

Be Flexible About Showings

During the holiday season, everyone is busy and may have more plans than usual, but if you’re selling your home, you need to be flexible and accessible when it comes to showings. It’s a challenging time, so if someone wants to see your home, you need to do everything you can to facilitate that.

If you can manage your expectations before you put your Albuquerque home on the marketing during the holidays, it’s going to help you stay more relaxed and also hopefully help you sell your house faster.

What Is a Purchase Agreement?

by Sandi Pressley

Now that you've found the perfect home for sale in Albuquerque, the next step is to determine how much you want to pay for the home. This leads to getting a signed offer to purchase to the seller. While the whole purchase agreement is important, there are some parts that are critical to understand before you sign. Here are 3 of those parts.

Earnest Money Deposit

The earnest money deposit is the amount of money you’ll be giving the seller when you submit your offer to purchase (or shortly after it is accepted) to show you are serious. This is not the same as a down payment, which is what you give to your lender.

Usually you pay about 1% of the price of the home to the seller, and the money is kept in the broker’s trust account or with the title company. If the seller accepts the offer, the earnest money will be applied to the purchase of the home.

Personal Property

Personal property is anything that is not permanently attached to the house. Sometimes personal property is included in the sale to sweeten the deal. These items will be listed in the purchase agreement or in a separate addendum.

Items of personal property commonly included in home sales include:

  • Appliances
  • Yard equipment
  • Furniture

Closing Date

There are various strategies when it comes to choosing a closing date. Some people feel it’s best to close escrow as late in the month as possible. This is because prepaid interest, which you’ll need to pay at closing, is prorate from the date of closing to the end of the month.

If you're keeping a tight leash on your cash flow, you may want to close escrow early in the month. Your prepaid interest charge will be higher. Yet, because mortgage interest is paid in arrears, you will skip two mortgage payments instead of one.

That said, there are some times that are better for closings, for various reasons:

  • Avoid closing escrow near the fall and winter holidays, especially Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. Real estate professionals, like everyone else, take time off to be with friends and family.
  • If you are both selling and buying, you may need a simultaneous close, allowing both escrows to wrap up on the same day. This is a delicate process and it does have its shortcomings, which can be explained to you if you are in this situation.

Sandi Pressley and her team has the experience to walk you through the purchase agreement, line-by-line, to ensure you understand what you’re signing.

How to Find the Perfect Home in Albuquerque

by Sandi Pressley

If you're looking to buy a new home in Albuquerque, there will be a lot to consider. There are plenty of options when it comes to real estate. You're spending your hard-earned money on this decisions, so you deserve the best home possible for your needs. How can you choose the right home for your needs? Here are some pointers that can help.

1. Make a List of Your Needs and Wants

Making a list of what you need in a property is a great way to gain perspective. This list should include your maximum budget for a home, the number of bedrooms it must have, and the size of the yard.

Next, make a list of what you want in a home in Albuquerque. For example, you may prefer to have 4 bedrooms, but you can settle for 3. Include things that aren't critical, but would be nice to have.

2. Pinpoint Your Ideal Location

As we say, location, location, location! Where you live in Albuquerque makes all the difference. What neighborhoods would you want to move to? Is the location dependent on the commute time? Do you want to be in a certain school district?

While it’s great to pinpoint a few neighborhoods, you should also keep an open mind. There may be other areas of which you are unfamiliar. We can help you find the best location for your lifestyle.

3. Ask Questions

When you view a home, be prepared with questions. Have a list of questions to ask your real estate agent. There are many things about the property that can;t be included in the property description online. 

Some important questions to ask include:

• When was the roof installed or redone?
• Is the HVAC system new?
• Is everything up to code?

Having an eye for detail is important. Make a note of anything that looks unfinished or needs repair. Although it might not be significant enough to keep you from buying the home, it could be enough for you to request a lower price. Keep a list of all of your concerns. After the showing, express your concerns to your realtor.

4. Be Open-Minded

Keeping an open mind will help you find a home that could be hiding right under your nose. For instance, you might see a picture of a home that doesn’t visually appeal to you.

After viewing the home, you could find that it meets all of your desires. If you choose to buy the home, you could make a few changes to the home to make it more your style.

5. Work with an Experienced Real Estate Agent
