What Impact Will The Spending Cuts Have On Buying And Selling In 2011?

 

Dec 6

Well we were all waiting for the spending cut details to be announced with bated breath, now they have, I am not convinced that we are any closer to understanding and working out the influence on the property market next year now we know the spending cuts!

With property, the key effects, whether you want to undertake a self build, rent for the first time, or trade down for the last time, are literally down to how confident people feel about the market as a whole and of course supply and demand.

If you are buying and/or selling property or land, then you are mostly affected by confidence in the market and the volume of people seeking to sell or buy property. An ‘influencing’ factor would be the supply of mortgage finance and this in turn is affected by your income which is indirectly affected by the job market.

So to understand the impact of the spending cuts on the buying and selling market we need to ask the following series of questions:-

 

Will the spending cuts force more people to sell their property?

At present only half the amount of homes are being sold compared to pre credit crunch, this budget will ensure that fewer people are likely to sell up and move on as their confidence in the future won’t be very high, so they are more likely to ‘stay put’, unless they are forced to sell.

Will a cut in the job market force people to sell their homes?

In the main the job cuts are expected to hit women and will be spread over four years. It is likely they will increase repossessions next year, but not by huge numbers. What is more likely is that job cuts in the private sector due to lower spending by the government will hit next year, so stock may rise, which will drive prices down.

Will the spending and job cuts stop people buying?

Propelled by media doom and gloom and threatened job cuts, potential purchasers will put off selling until at least Christmas if not beyond, consequently it is probable that buyers will be few and far between next year.

Impact of the Spending Cuts on Buying and Selling Property in 2011

Overall the property market will split in two across the country next year. Those areas hit hard by local authority and government spending cuts, job losses etc, will likely see their property prices dip as demand remains low and more people try to sell their property.

Ideally should you want to sell your home, only look to do so if you are trading up, so you save more money on your next property or if you have to sell.

If you’re looking at buying as a first time buyer, you might get a good deal. You need to carefully measure the true market value of the property, then if you can get between 10-20% off, this will shield you from further falls.

30 Ways To Clinch A Sale

 

Oct 17

So, you need to sell your house but viewings are scarce and no-one has seemed remotely interested. You’re at your wits end and desperate to sell – and the economic meltdown is not making things easier. What can you do to help this situation?

Read On to find out just how to secure a sale in a market that is stagnant.

1 Check Out Your Situation

If your house has been on the market for sometime, and you’ve had no new viewings for some time and no offers, it might well be worth taking it off the market for a month, sorting yourself out (see what we suggest below) perhaps going back to the start, even finding a new agent. This will give everyone a fresh approach to marketing the house.

If you are even thinking about trying to sell your home in a flat market, don’t even take that first step until you’ve read our tips below.

2 Sort Your Finances

Getting yourself 100 per cent sale ready in advance is a must if it is to proceed smoothly once you have an offer, so line up your solicitor and get your mortgage and finances organised.

3 Get A Proper Valuation

Start by calculating or even re-calculating your property’s value and what you may need to do to change that. This may not be as simple as finding three estate agents to give their valuations- this is obviously advisable, but bear in mind that you may have to do some maintenance, too.

4 What Needs Fixing?

Not sure what needs fixing? When the estate agents come round to value your property, ask them for a brutally honest appraisal of what to get rid of or change, and whether there are any major flaws. You might be able to improve some easily.

5 Be Ready For That Sale

Get the house 100 per cent sale ready. Declutter, consider putting some pieces into storage to make the house look bigger. Don’t spend out on fancy decor which new owners may well want to change. Spend your money wisely on necessary repairs, and if any of your colour schemes are glaringly bright, redecorate them with neutral shades. Tidy up outside – a new coat of paint for the front door if necessary, some instant ‘potted colour’ from the garden centre and so on. Make sure the house is kept clean.

6 Sort Your Home’s Kerb Appeal

First impressions are important, so check your kerb appeal: tidy the garden front and back, paint window sills and the front door, make sure the house number or name is visible. Ensure the view through the front windows is appealing too. Rooms inside ought to be kept tidy (even when you aren’t expecting a viewing- do not be surprised if people stop and have a good peer into your home to see if it might suit them).

7 Research The Local Market

If you have done any improvements since the last valuation, get the agents round again to value the property. Once you’ve got those valuations, research the market yourself for similar properties nearby, either through agent windows, local property supplements or property websites,to see what price they’re on at. If a similar house to yours in your street is on at £350,000, marketing yours at £345,950 (for example) could get you more viewers and a quicker sale.

8 Find Out What Homes Nearby Sold For

Then, research the exact house prices being achieved by these properties – This will give you valuable intuition so that when you do get an offer, you will know how to pitch your response.

9 Check Out The Competition

Get an idea of the quality of the competition – what other properties are your potential purchasers viewing – how does your home stack up against these? Don’t forget, viewers will be comparing your home to every other one they’ve seen in the same price bracket, so aim to make yours the best.

10 Do Your Homework To Find The Best Agent

Clearly it is always tempting to grab the agent offering the highest valuation, It is not certain that you will achieve that asking price. Instead, compare fees, ask what they’re offering, check testimonials and, importantly, check the contract – it may try to tie you to the agency for too long a period.If you decide not to go with one particular agent, be aware that you may still have to legally pay their fee. Bear in mind that if you go for multiple listings, you will be liable to pay more than one fee, so check the contract fine print.

11 Use The Best Estate Agent For You

Check that the agency your home is on with deals with other, similar homes. Buyers who know an area well will concentrate on targeting estate agents whose properties suit their pocket and style.

12 Decide On The Asking Price

We all want to achieve the maximum price for our property, but if priced too steeply, it will be passed over as too expensive. Research is key, and it is imperative you take your agents advice on this matter.

13 Actively Market Your Home

Get advice from your agent as to how you can get your house in front as many potential purchasers as possible – make sure your home is constantly prominent in their window, on their website, will they set up an ‘open-house’ day to get lots of people through the door on one day.

14 Don’t Settle For Less

Ask to preview and go over the details they are going to send out, Could the pictures be better – for instance, if your house first went on the market in winter, are they still using wintry pictures, which are clearly out of date? Are they selling the house’s best points, including nearby amenities.

15 Know Your Buyer

Your research and information from your estate agent should give you an idea of your target market – retired, family or young couples. This will help you talk about your home in a way that’s relevant to the individual viewers. It will also help your estate agent to send round the right type of people – there’s no point in large families coming to view if you’re selling a one bedroom flat.

16 Get Your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Ready

The Home Information Pack may have bitten the dust, but you must have commissioned your Energy Performance Certificate when you put your house on the market. It’s designed to tell buyers how energy efficient your home is, but don’t worry if your period property doesn’t fare well – most older homes aren’t particularly energy efficient, and most buyers know that.

17 Get Regular Feedback About Viewings

Once the house goes on the market, keep in touch with your agent, post viewings it is a good idea to phone for feedback, take note, if anything can be rectified make sure you act upon it (ie, a potential purchaser may have been put off by a dire bathroom)

18 Know Home Inside Out

Measure the rooms, find out about local amenities, such as schools, public transport, hospitals, play centres, shops… and be prepared to brag about them to potential buyers.

19 What Added Benefits Can Buyers Get?

It’s all about making your home seem like such a good bargain, if there is a decent set of swings or climbing frame in the garden and you would be happy to throw them in as part of the asking price, make sure you tell them. Same thing goes for first time buyers and curtains –

20 Work Your Space

A double bedroom has more value than a single, and a single bedroom has more value than a study, so show the rooms off to their best use to maximise their appeal.

21 Dress Your Home For A Viewing

It’s all about staging on the day. It goes without saying that the house should be spotless, but there are a few other things to consider that are easy to fix. Got lots of family photos on show? Your buyer needs to visualise themselves living there, not you, so put them away in a drawer for the viewing. Get some fresh flowers for the dining room and put on the coffee maker… Need ideas? Developers spend thousands of pounds ‘dressing’ show homes, visit a couple of local developments for some ideas of ways to show your rooms to the best advantage. Remember these show homes may be your competition.

22 Clear The House For A Viewing

If you’re desperate for a sale, desperate measures are called for, so if you’ve got pets, ban them from the majority (if not all) of rooms while the house is on the market, make sure you neutralise their odour (even if you can’t smell it, others will and it can be very off-putting). Last but not least, turf the pets, kids and other half out during the viewing – there’s nothing worse than trying to view a house that’s full of people and noise.

23 Get An Experienced Agent To Show Your Home

Your agent should be present, ideally, but check that the person they’re sending knows the house and can really sell it. It’s no good a junior with no real knowledge turning up, and if this is the case, you should be there to market your house yourself. If, however, a senior team member can be there, your presence could hinder rather than help if you are not careful. If in doubt, check with your agent.

24 Get Your Sales Pitch Right

If you’re showing people round your home yourself, decide in advance what order you’re going to show the rooms in. Allow viewers to enter the room first, then follow them in. This lets them see the room from a better vantage point, if the room is on the small side, it can make it feel more spacious. Keep doors as wide open as you can, this also gives a feeling of space. Think about the benefits of each room and share them with viewers. Then let them walk around on their own. Disappear into the garden for 10 minutes so viewers can talk without you milling around.

25 Don’t Look Desperate

Be cool, calm and positive about your home, have all information to hand, such as utility bills, guarantees and notes about maintenance work. Enthuse about the plus points of living in your area, such as good schools, a local swimming pool, good commuter links, etc. Give the viewers time on their own to walk around inside and out. If you’re nervous about viewings, get the estate agent to do it – though no one knows your home better than you do to show off its strengths.

26 Be Positive

Don’t give away information to your purchaser that could be used to the detriment of the sale price. Obviously, if there are major problems, such as subsidence or damp, you will have to be honest. If you inform your buyer that you need to sell as quickly as possible and can’t wait to get out of the place, you are asking for a low offer. It is always a good idea to have an informal chat with your viewers to find out their circumstances.

27 Consider On An Offer

In advance know exactly the lowest figure that you would be prepared to accept for a sale in advance will help you make a decision when you do get an offer. Get as much information as you can about the buyer’s situation so you know the relative strengths of yours and their position, ie, do they need to move quickly? Are they chain-free, cash-buyers? And if you are paying for an agent, use them to deal with the buyers. Your Conveyancing solicitor will also be able to inform you of these details.

28 Start A Negotiation

Never start a negotiation by asking the price you want, since the buyer will just assume they have to negotiate you down from there. Don’t dismiss a low initial offer out of hand, either, even if it is far too low. Inform them of the range that you are prepared to go within, and wait for the purchaser’s response.

29 Take The Offer And Run!

After a successful offer, don’t dally on getting the move underway. Contact your mortgage lender, organise your survey, notify utilities and arrange final readings, arrange mail redirection, and book a removal service. Keep on top of your solicitor to ensure the transaction moves forward with great pace and speed. Don’t let a sale fall through because of delays you’ve caused.

30 Keep Your Sale Active

Even once the offer has been accepted you do not have to take your property off the market. Whether you do so or not is up to you, but you must advise the estate agent as to what you want to do. The estate agent is legally obliged to tell you of new offers, right up to the point when you exchange contracts, though you risk upsetting your buyer as he or she will have already paid out for legal and valuation/survey fees. The system is different in Scotland. This is not good practice (morally), but in a flat market when you need to sell your house for as much as possible, keeping your house on the market while your sale starts to go through is often a sensible option.

Advantages of Selling Your Property Privately

 

Jan 16

Once in a while, there comes a time when you need to seek another house, probably because of a growing family, career move or simply the demands of living that dictate you must transfer to another place. So of course you want to sell your house to have a good start somewhere else by possessing a purse to dig in as needed. The bigger the nest egg is, the more comfortable you’d feel while in a strange environment, so to speak.

Sell my house now is something a lot of home owners today are saying. The first and foremost advantage is you’d most probably save in selling the property yourself. You will not pay any agent or broker commission, which, at times can be hefty indeed. Even a modest five percent commission on a hundred thousand rand sale can buy a lot of peace of mind when you are still trying to settle in your place, and you need all the support, most importantly the financial kind. Thus selling the property yourself would give you the best income from the sale, at least most of the times.

Next, you will gain practical experience in selling property, which might prove handy in a few instances, probably when you have to move again. There are many steps to take when selling property, and most of these you will have to learn. The additional knowledge won’t hurt, and it could even provide you with enough stimuli to make selling property a second income-producing endeavor for you, because real estate brokering can be lucrative, too.

Aside from the two primary advantages, you will also know more people outside of your immediate or usual circles. There are bank managers or at least account officers, prospective buyers from in and out of town, government officials or employees who will handle the formalities of the transfer of ownership, legal counsels who will create the documents of transfer, printers who will do your handbills and posters, newspaper editors for your print advertisements, and not the least, boys (and girls) who will distribute your handbills and tack your posters.All of them will be good to know, and could be of additional help at some later stage.

We stated above that there are many steps to take when selling property and many of them are tedious, especially for the inexperienced.For example, for simply making announcements that you are selling your home, you will need to create handbills or send an advertisement in your local newspaper at least. So you will have to draft a banner ad – create the layout, write the copy, and decide on what to include— if you eschew the line ads, which do not sell as fast as a display ad.

You will likewise have to deal with a lot of people, which takes time, effort and resources, not to say stress.If you want to sell fast, selling real estate on your own may not be the method, despite the obvious advantages. It might be better to consult with a professional company who sell property, who might even buy your property right away. They will know: they are the professionals.

Good Advice On How To Sell Your Home Privately

 

Dec 30

Most people retain the services of a real estate professional when they wish to put their homes on the market. This method of selling a property has several advantages such as the agent’s knowledge of the industry and the locality, his or her network of customers and experience in selling – your role will simply consist of saying, “sell my house”, and paying the agent a commission when the job is finished. Nonetheless, you may also sell your property privately, and if you do this, you may find the suggestions on selling property here very useful.

Be prepared to put in a lot of work when you want to sell property privately. First, you will have to do some research to find out when the peak buying periods in your area are.  It makes sense to put your house on the market at such times, since the chances of a quick, profitable sale are higher when there is plenty of demand.
Secondly, you have to decide on a price for your property. Be realistic about what you are asking; find out what market prices in your neighborhood are and what people are paying for houses of the kind that you are selling.
Your documents should all be in order so that there is no problem at the time of sale. Do ensure that this is so. You will also need the services of a real estate lawyer so that the sale can be completed in a legal manner.
Make sure your house is ready to be viewed. Get any necessary repairs done, and get rid of clutter. You want your prospective buyers to get the best possible impression, so aim for perfection in the way your home looks when people come to see it. You should be prepared to show the property whenever required, even though this may cause you some inconvenience.

A good way to create awareness about your property being for sale is to advertise. You can post a free classified ad on the internet or get some flyers printed and distributed. Classifieds in your local newspapers are also a good idea. In addition, you can place an ad about your house on property sites, where prospective buyers are likely to see it.

When you get a buyer who is interested enough to make an offer, you can both informally come to an agreement. This is one of the best things about selling real estate privately – since there are no brokers or agents involved, it will be easy to make a quick decision with only the two concerned parties present.

There are many sites online that will offer you helpful suggestions when you want to sell real estate. Try Property24, for example – this is a great resource as far as South African property is concerned.

When selling property there are two options:

– One of them is selling the property in an open market through the assistance of an estate agent.

– The other option is by selling your home privately where you the owner are responsible for the sale and the buyers buy the home or real estate from you directly and there is no middle man.

What you need to determine is which of the two methods of selling a property or home is the ideal one. Generally there are more advantages when you sell your property privately. If you are to sell your home privately you will cut down on the costs of having to hire an estate agent who is responsible for selling your property privately, therefore you will save a lot of money as you will not be charged any commission. The next advantage of selling your house privately is that your home will be sold in an auction like manner. This way the highest bidder will take possession of your home. The advantage of doing this is that you will be able to sell your home up to as much as 80-90% of its market value in a short span of time.

If selling your home privately means selling your home for less than its market value, then is it a better way to sell your property? You may obtain fewer amounts but the secret is you get more when you sell your home privately because at the end of the sale you are not going to pay any commission, from the money you have got so as to pay the estate agents services. Another advantage is that your home will be sold in the shortest time possible so you will be able to get your money really fast and do whatever you had planned to do with it. So if you want to sell your property selling it on private basis will be a fantastic idea.

There are many professional home buying companies that will be able to assist you whenever you want to sell your home this way. There are professional companies which buy your house directly from you without any interference of a middle man. The scenario in South Africa is extremely good with quite a few property agents who are willing to render this service to you. Because they buy your home directly from you so you do not have to incur any extra costs and no commission is charged. For all these reasons and more, if you want to put your house on the market for sale, it makes the most sense to go with a professional home buying company which guarantees you the best deal without eating into your profits.

Selling Your Home Fast

Many homeowners find themselves facing a big problem when it comes time for them to sell their homes. This is because the property market is a tricky market in the best of times and these are definitely not the best of times. Also, the sheer amount of money involved in selling and purchasing a home makes such a transaction something that a potential buyer must think long and hard about, so you most definitely cannot expect a quick decision and sale.

If you have decided that you are going to immigrate to another country, for example, then you will need to first sell your property. Many people find themselves moving at least once in their lives, and so have had to sell property before. You may be asking yourself, ‘How do I sell my house?’ When selling property, there are a number of routes you can take.

One way to sell property is to do it on your own. This means that you play the part of your own property agent, and market your own home. It is very rare that someone makes use of this method, however, as selling property involves more than just simply putting up a ‘for sale’ sign in front of the house. You first need to have your home valued in order to find out exactly how much you can sell it for, then you need to place advertisements in the newspapers, online, and anywhere else you can think of just to entice potential buyers. You then have to show potential buyers your home, and try to persuade them that it is a good buy.

This is definitely not a favorite option among homeowners looking to sell property. It’s not often that you see a tagline saying ‘I need to sell my house in home advertisements. Usually, property owners choose to hire real estate agents to sell their house for them.

Real estate agents will take care of all the details of selling your home for you. They will get your property valued, put up the appropriate advertisements, and show potential buyers your property when they express interest in it. Of course, they charge you a percentage of the sale price when the deal closes.

Sometimes, however, even experienced real estate agents have difficulties selling a home. This might be due to several reasons. One good example would be the current worldwide economic downturn, which has negatively impacted a great many people, and has led to far fewer people looking to purchase new properties. In this case, even a real estate agent might find it impossible to locate a buyer for your home.
