CONSIDERING SELLING YOUR HOME? NOW MIGHT BE THE TIME…

Have you been thinking of listing your home, but hesitate because of the current environment? Consider the following:

• Homes prices in Ada County increased 18.1% for Q1 2020… the highest in the nation. Other nearby counties have experienced strong price increases, as well.
• According to a recent CNBC news article, as states reopen, homebuyers are rushing back out, but sellers are staying on the sidelines. The article states that buyer interest is fueled in part by more apartment renters hunting for single-family homes.
• A current Forbes-Moody’s Analytics article ranks Boise as one of the 10 US cities best positioned to recover from Coronavirus. Buyers are fleeing crowded cities for the suburbs and smaller cities like Boise.

So, we presently have low inventory and high demand. Why wait to sell your home? The obvious answer is COVID-19. Sellers are reluctant to list their owner-occupied homes due to health and safety concerns.

Talk to a qualified Real Estate professional to lean how you can minimize your risk and still get top dollar for your home. For example, you can:

Leverage technology when listing your home.
More than 70% of today’s home buyers search for homes online. Find a forward-thinking agent who uses not only high-quality photos to showcase your home, but provides, among other things, 360° virtual tours, aerial drone footage, and live tours via Facetime, Google Duo or other live event applications.

Limit showings.
Insist that your agent screen potential buyers who want to view your home to weed out “looky-loos” while focusing on serious, pre-qualified buyers. Provide potential buyers with information on schools, demographics, and crime statistics so it’s easier for them to make informed decisions about whether your home and neighborhoodare a good fit for them.

Employ safety measures.
Offer hand sanitizer, gloves, and booties at the door. Provide selling agents with specific guidance on limiting the number of people touring your home at one time, and ask them to practice social distancing while refraining from unnecessarily touching surfaces. After showings, wipe down high-touch areas.

Use technology for “touchless” transaction management.
Leverage electronic document signing apps, as well as digital appraisals and closings to create an entirely digital experience that is 100% free from physical human contact even through closing.

Now that you’re equipped with this information, what are you waiting for? Contact me today to get your home SOLD!
