Saint Clair Homes

If you’ve had to move out of your home prior to selling it you may be experiencing the frustration of selling a vacant home. It’s no surprise that the perception of a vacant home is not as upstanding as a lived-in home. With a little effort, cooperation and attention to detail your vacant home can easily look just like a lived-in home.

This is one of the most common complaints that I have heard from buyers. It has even prompted buyers to ask, prior to actually looking at properties, “Are any of these bank owned?” When I answer yes – they immediately strike them off their list.

I can understand the frustration buyers feel when waiting, for what seems like forever, to close on their new home. However, if you have the time, it’s usually worth the wait simply because they’re such good deals. Why pay more for the same piece of property later when the market stabilizes.

Wow: Nothing like taking a vacation to stimulate the real estate market. This may sound like an oxymoron, but it’s true. I went on a week vacation and while I was relaxing in the sun, my trusted colleague was swamped taking care of things for me in my absence. Prior to my departure things were status quo. However, after I left, the flood gates opened. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. As in years past the real estate market has picked up now that it’s spring, but for some reason this year it seems so much better. Maybe our economy is starting to stabilize; only time will tell. In the meantime, it’s nice to feel like everything else that blooms in the spring.
