It’s Spring---is it time to stay
or sell???
Spring is finally here! Or at any rate the Aspen buds are swelling! This is the time of
the year when some folks are considering selling their home…asking themselves that annually recurring question: “Should we stay here and
fix up? Or should we sell?” Let’s examine both of those options:
Stay
This is not the year to “see how much we can get” for your home! Don’t even try
it if this is your motivation. Do your spring cleaning and enjoy your home this summer. The smartest thing
you can do for yourselves and your future equity growth is to do the routine maintenance. So often we go to homes to
evaluate price and are saddened by years of deferred maintenance. Don’t let that happen to you! It is
cheaper and more prudent to do a little each year and stay on top of those little things. What are those “things"?
- Pine needles out of the gutters. Check the roof while the ladder is out.
- Oil/stain the deck.
- Check the attic/roof vents for critters finding refuge over the winter.
- Paint/stain the exterior siding.
- Check/repair the screens.
- Service the furnace and clean the chimney.
- Clean the windows—we get used to looking through dirt.
- Attend to the landscaping.
- Have your carpets professionally cleaned.
- Reseal your paved driveway.
Stay and enjoy the beauty of living in Colorado! Wait, if you can, for a better selling market, and
complete the routine maintenance your home deserves.
Sell
We have been seeing a large number of folks who do need/want to sell their home for good sound reasons.
Some good reasons:
1. We are leaving the area for another job.
2. Our family dynamics are changing---more kids,
less kids, death, divorce, illness, etc.
3. We can afford a bigger/smaller/different home.
4. We want/need to be closer to family.
5. With the price of gas, our commuting has become
too expensive.
6. We need to scale back due to current economics.
If you decide to sell your current home now, even though the prices are not what you would like, you will be buying a
replacement home at a lower price! Homes which are priced right and in good condition are still selling!
Carry on with your life! For a free consultation, call today and we can help you sort through some of the maze that selling
your home (or staying put) can present. Just in the last 30 days, we have had the pleasure of talking with many families; some will
stay and some will sell.
Let us help you! Call today at 687-1535, or Sharon’s direct line at 237-0391.
