Get Ready for the Spring Home Selling Season!

Sellers, get ready for the spring market. Here are some great tips for you to consider.

• Start packing for your move.  A whole house declutter is one of your most important tasks. Store boxed items in a relative's home or rent a storage unit.
• Spruce up your front door with fresh paint.
• Pay attention to your landscaping. Trim shrubbery & add some seasonal flowers.
• Fix broken door knobs and leaky faucets.
• Don't cook meals prior to a scheduled showing to avoid any objectionable odors.
• Make sure your home smells clean, but don't overdo with deodorizers that might indicate you are hiding something. 

Building Sites & County Records

Thinking about looking for a lot to build your dream home on? I highly recommend that you check with your county GIS (geographic information system) department. They are a wealth of information. Among other things, you can learn what soil classification the vacant land holds, what the topography is and the lay of the land with regard to watersheds. Any offer to purchase should also be contingent on a soil inspection.

Fracking Wells & Ability to Get Home Financing

Increasingly, some lenders are looking more closely at financing properties with a fracking well on or near a property. If you are a home owner who has been approached by a company offering you a deal to allow fracking on your property, conduct due diligence and find out all you can about fracking. This is especially important if you are thinking about selling as a buyer may not be able to secure financing.

Double Check the City, Township and School District

It is important that you make sure you will be receiving the government services you expect to

receive. Sometimes a home will carry a city address, but actually be located within a township. Public services such as water, street maintenance, police, etc may be different from the nearby city. Also, elected officials & zoning may be different, Lastly, double check the school district. Sometimes the multiple listing information contains errors so a few phone calls up front can be very helpful.

Reviewing the Paperwork Before Making an Offer to Purchase

It is highly recommended that buyers ask their real estate agent for a copy of the offer to purchase in order to review its contents before sitting down to write an offer. You can then be familiar with its contents and ask questions beforehand. You will also be able to decide certain aspects that you may want to include such as timing of your move-in date, if you want a home warranty and many more details that will important to you.

Is the Square Footage Reported Accurately?

Trust but verify square footage. Here are some tips for rough calculation.

• Assuming the county website is accurate, you can multiply the dimensions of the footprint of the home.
• Keep in mind that any room not having central heat does not qualify as living space.
• Basement areas used for living space that does not have (2) ways to egress (exit to the outside) does not count as square footage.
• Often finished attic spaces do not count as square footage.

Comparative Market Analysis

A comparative market analysis is known as a CMA for short. Ask your real estate agent to run the comps on the local multiple listing service. It is also is usually a good idea to check the county to determine what homes may have sold privately. A caution here, though, is to make sure the sales were an arm's length transaction (NOT a sale to a family member for a reduced price).

Great Tip for Buying a Spec Home

When considering an offer for a spec home, check with the city's building department to make sure that the builder complied with all inspections and permits required for an owner's occupancy. A spec home is built with no specific buyer in mind. Spec stands for speculation.

Do We Need a Radon Inspection?

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural decay of uranium in the soil beneath a house. If a house does have uranium, it can be fixed with a mitigation system. For more information, google radon and the EPA. One house in a neighborhood can have radon and the house door does not. Therefore, be an informed buyer and do due diligence in making your decision as to whether you want to add a radon inspection contingency to your offer.
