What the buyer sees when he first looks at your home for
sale, stays with him for a long time. Be sure your home makes a good first
impression. Don't ignore the front yard and entry way of your home. Buyers
who see a home for sale that looks unappealing from the outside, just
move along to the next listing without ever going through the door! Once the
buyer goes through the door, staging your home with a few decorating changes
will help him feel this is a home he might want to live in.
There are benefits to Saving money before buying a home
First time home buyers enhance their chances of getting a
mortgage by saving some money ahead of time. It is important to have cash on hand
to cover all costs associated with buying a home. Some things to consider are:
down payment, closing costs, moving costs, cash reserves to cover the first few
months payments and mathematical errors in budgeting or over estimating
earnings.
Why Buy a house with good resale value?
Buying a house is exciting!
Buyers are often caught up in the moment and in the throes of making an
immediate decision whether or not to buy, don’t usually look any further down
the road than that.
The Buyer should consider the following when choosing a home
with good resale in mind: locations not backing onto busy streets, avoiding
intersecting street corner locations, a house that is not necessarily the most
expensive one on the street and be sure all essential shops and services are
located nearby with a local shopping
centre that is healthy and busy.
Closings can be ruined by not fixing deficiencies
The best strategy for sellers to take is to be
prepared! One way to do this is to get a
home pre-inspection and fix deficiencies before listing your Nanaimo home for
sale. Defects found during a home
inspection by a buyer can be a deal breaker. By doing a pre-inspection you have
an opportunity to fix or repair the things that could make a deal collapse. The
expense of a pre inspection is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that
comes with a successful buyers inspection.

Don’t wait for spring to list your Nanaimo house.
Many people like to wait
until the busy spring market to sell their homes. However, this year in Nanaimo we are experiencing
a seller’s market. A seller’s market is
when there are more buyers than sellers in the market place. Right now we are experiencing very low
inventory levels which means that if you list your home and price it at market
value, you stand a very good chance of selling it quickly.
Buying a three bedroom home vs. a two bedroom home
There is no question that
here in Nanaimo a 3 bedroom home has much better resale value than a 2 bedroom
home. There is a much bigger market for
3 bedroom homes because the third bedroom opens up all sorts of usage options
from a place to sleep to a media room or just a place to store things. Two bedroom homes exclude people with
families as there just isn’t enough room.

Tips for selling a vacant home
The advantage to selling a vacant home is that you can offer quick
possession to a buyer. Even though the home is vacant it is easier to sell if
you continue to maintain the property by keeping utilities on, maintaining your

lasting impressions.
