1. Curb appeal is key to selling your home

If it looks rundown from the outside, then it probably is on the inside too. Curb appeal is all about first impressions. Buyers want to feel like they could live in a home from the moment they pull up in front of it. Basic improvements such as exterior painting, cutting the grass and planting some flowers improve the look of a home from the outside tremendously.

2. Deodorize

Every home has a unique odor, especially if pets are present. Be sure to professionally clean the carpet and the furniture and replace carpets if necessary. Keep pets clean and the home free from dander. Consider taking pets and pet cages if present in the home with you when you leave for showings.

3. Really want to sell your home? Repair and repaint

A little putty and paint can make all the difference. Repair damaged dry wall, gouges in wood surfaces and paint the walls. Bright colors such as those in children’s rooms should be repainted with a neutral color.

4. Put away your personal collections

Here, the old saying that one man’s treasure is another man’s junk rings true. De-clutter your home by packing up knick-knacks, heirlooms, personal collections, and even family photos. After all, they are special only to you and your goal is to make the home presentable to the widest number of people possible. Expensive collections should be packed away as well to keep them safe.

5. No guns, drugs or valuables

If you own a gun, be sure it’s unloaded and lock it away. Don’t leave it accessible to anyone viewing your home, especially anyone with children. The same is true for prescription drugs, fine jewelry, valuable art work, money and anything else you want to keep safe.

Like No Other! Escape your fast -- paced lifestyle into one that offers a leisurely pace within a pastoral scenery with panoramic views.

Congratulations to Brazen Sotheby's International Realty!  Job Well Done.

We are officially in a rising interest rate environment.  The action the FED is taking to purchase Mortgage Backed Securities is not working as expected. There is too much supply out there for them to buy, and consequently, the rates are rising. 

At the moment, a conventional 30 year fixed with 0 points is now 4.5% (according to Regions Bank).  This is still historically low, but buyers have grown accustomed to hearing 4.25%.  This has the potential to cause a lot of questions, and misunderstanding.  Please contact the mortgage professional you are working with to inquire about the current rates if your rate is not locked.

Over the last day I have been belabored with calls and emails about the magnitude of the effect on local home sellers and homeowners. Is the problem as big as the mansion? 24,786 square feet. Or bigger? The house sits on 40 acres, an acre of land in west Carmel sells for at least $100,000. This is clearly one of the best deals on real estate in the country.

Does this sale set the bar?

I say no.

The sale of 1143 W 116^th Street is unique. The property was unique and it does need money put into it. Frankly, some people do not even want that big of a home. That said, it is still a bargain.

Is it an isolated incident?

I say no.

How is that possible when I just said the sale was unique! It is not isolated because this is the textbook example of over pricing a property and chasing the market down. Here is the price history of the property:

6/13/2005                  $20,000,000

1/30/2009                  $15,000,000

9/1/2009                  $9,900,000

10/6/2010                  $3,000,000 – SOLD

I have it on good authority that there was at least one and probably a second offer in the $12,000,000 range a sometime after the property was listed for sale. Terms were never reached on this offer. Furthermore, it typically costs 1% of a property’s value to keep it up on a monthly basis with that much square footage and land I am sure it cost over $300,000 per year to maintain the property.

Even if they sold the property for $3M in 2005 they would have saved $1.5M in up keep.

What if they priced it $15M in 2005 (the peak of the hottest real estate boom in history)? Could have they gotten close to $10M? They still would have saved countless hours and a lot of money.

In short, the sale is isolated because of its scope and size but the pricing philosophy is the same whether it’s $100,000 home or a $20,000,000 one. You need to price the property where the buyers are; otherwise you’re fishing with your bait out of the water.
