5 Things Colorado Springs Home Buyers Can Do To Have a Successful Home Buying Experience
Here Are 5 Tips For Home Buyers
by Terry Naber, REMAX Properties, Inc, Colorado Springs
www.terrysellscolorado.com
As you approach buying a home this year, it helps to focus on the long term by keeping the following five best practices in mind. These were best practices for home buying a generation ago. And they'll most likely still be practical when the next generation of home buyers sprints out of the gate.
Buy when you're ready: Just because you didn't buy last year when the market was super hot doesn't mean you've missed out. Could you have gotten in when the rates were at their lowest and values near the bottom? Sure. But were you ready to buy then? Probably not. The main thing to remember is that you should buy a home when you can afford it, you have your financing and you've found a home that meets your needs. That will always be the best time to buy.
Home buying is a journey: Despite how quickly the world works today, you can't force a home purchase. It's not like buying a television or a laptop. A home is a much more expensive and complicated purchase. It's where you can feel safe and calm from the outside world, a place you can customize to your needs, and where you will make lasting memories. Because of this, buying a home comes with emotional and practical implications on top of the financial ones. Remember that a home is your place to live first and an investment second. Take the time you need to find the right home.
Don't be driven by data: If you watch the nightly news or read news online, you'll hear real estate market predictions and numbers on a national level. And at any given time, you'll likely get conflicting real estate forecasts. A lot of information and data will come at you from many different angles - including social media. Don't take anything to be an absolute. Keep your own goals and needs top of mind at all times.
Real estate is local: The national real estate news headlines may be about multiple offers and bidding wars. But that situation may only be relevant to one part of the country or even to just a handful of cities. Meanwhile, the neighborhood where you want to buy a home still has distressed sales and is more of a buyers' market.
All that really matters in real estate is what's happening in your own community. If you're interested in getting into the market, follow the local economy and housing markets. Go to open houses and learn. Get connected to a real estate agent who has "feet on the street."
Go with your gut: You know your financial situation better than anyone. You know your down payment amount, credit score, amount of savings and the upper limits of what you can afford to put toward home ownership every month. Apply what you know about your finances to your local real estate market. You know the neighborhoods, the commercial districts and the types of homes for sale. By merging these two, your gut will inform you on what's a good buy, when it's the right time to buy and how to approach a purchase.

Selling Your Home? Here are 5 Traps to Avoid!
Do you ever find yourself completely overwhelmed by real estate advice from every direction on how to stage, market, negotiate, and ultimately sell your home? With all the information we see on a daily basis, it’s easy to overlook to most important details.
Avoid these traps to get the best offer with the highest value, and take the stress out of selling your home.
1. Online-only Marketing.
Don’t drown in the world wide sea of online data! With the overload of information that is force fed to us every day, it’s important that everyone sees your home everywhere. Advertising your home in print makes you stand out locally. With Terry Naber, RE/MAX Properties, Colorado Springs, CO., we use QR and text codes in our property advertising that instantly connect home shoppers to your home listing on their mobile phones. You’ll reach home buyers where they live, shop, work and play.
2. Poor Pricing.
No matter what they’re buying, it is not a surprise that consumers want the most bang for their buck. Home buyers tend to stay away from overly high prices and are drawn to the homes that are priced competitively. However, if the price is too low, buyers will wonder if there is something wrong with the property. Make sure you research your competition and consult with your real estate agent before deciding on a price.
3. Hovering.
Although you may want to stick around during a showing, it may not be the best idea. There is definitely an emotional aspect when selling your home, so hovering while a potential buyer is touring your home may make it difficult for them to envision the home as theirs, and may feel uncomfortable or that they’re intruding on your space. Take a breather and go run some errands while your real estate agent does the work.
4. Clutter Inside & Out.
First impressions are everything, and the first thing that buyers will see is your home’s exterior. Have a well-kept yard, clean driveway and overall curb appeal, which will increase the likelihood that buyers will want to see more. Now for the interior . . . Make sure your home is absolutely free of all clutter – it should be clean and sparkling! Help buyers imagine their own things in your home by stashing personal items, including photos and mementos.
5. Lack of Appealing Photos.
Before a buyer even thinks about contacting a real estate agent or coming to see a house to buy, they “pre-shop” online. Be sure to provide photographs that frame your house and its amenities to sell. Capture full rooms that are well lit and don’t even think about including pictures of cluttered messy spaces! Home buyers want to see what your home has to offer, and be able to visualize themselves living there.
As you go through the home selling process, avoid these traps to get the best offer quickly. Remember that Terry Naber, RE/MAX Properties Inc., Colorado Springs, CO., your good neighbor in real estate since 1990, is more than happy to answer any of your questions and provide the most valuable help possible to get your home listed right, ready to sell, and sold for best price in the shortest time possible.
Good luck and happy selling!
