Must Have Items Realtors Should Have for 2023

Posted On: February 16th, 2023 12:48AM

As a realtor, having the right tools can make all the difference in your success. While there are many different items that can be useful for real estate professionals, three must-have items for 2023 are a phone holder for the car, a LED rechargeable flashlight, and a laser measure. In this blog post, we'll explore why these tools are essential and how they can help realtors in their day-to-day work.

  1. Phone Holder for the Car:  As a realtor, you likely spend a lot of time driving from property to property. A phone holder for the car can be an incredibly useful tool for keeping your phone secure and accessible while on the go. This is particularly important if you use your phone for GPS navigation or if you need to take phone calls while driving. A phone holder can help keep your phone within easy reach, while also freeing up your hands to focus on the road.
  2. LED Rechargeable Flashlight:  As a realtor, you access all types of properties at all hours of the day and night. A reliable flashlight can be an essential tool for ensuring your safety and helping you navigate dark and unfamiliar spaces. A LED rechargeable flashlight is a great option because it provides a bright and long-lasting light. With a rechargeable flashlight, you won't have to worry about constantly buying and replacing batteries, and you can quickly charge it in your car on a way to a showing.
  3. Laser Measure:  A laser measure is an essential tool for realtors. We get asked all the time about dimensions of the rooms and clients ask if personal items would fit in a room. With a laser measure, you can quickly and easily measure room dimensions, ceiling height, and other critical property measurements. The Bosch laser measure on Amazon is a solid product, but if you want a more affordable option then be sure to check out Mileseey by RockSeed.

Make selling real estate in 2023 easier by adding a phone holder for the car, a LED rechargeable flashlight, and a laser measure to your essential items. With these items, you can stay safe, stay organized, and stay on top of your game in the competitive world of real estate. Whether you're driving to your next showing, accessing a property in the dark, or measuring a room, these tools can make your job easier, more efficient, and more successful.

How to Add Value to Your Home: Easy Ways to Update your Property

Posted On: September 10th, 2022 12:06PM

If you're looking for ways to increase the value of your home, you're in luck. It can be easy as painting or doing a full-on renovation.  In this blog post, we will discuss a few ways to update your property and increase its value.

 

One easy way to add value to your home is by painting. This is a minor renovation that can go a long way. When choosing paint colors, it's important to stick with neutral colors that will appeal to many people. It will give your home a fresh new look.  This will increase the chances of your home selling quickly and for the price you are looking for.

 

Another way is to update flooring, especially if you have old carpeting. Replacing carpet isn't too hard and it will make a big difference in the overall look of your home. Better yet, replace with vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring is durable and often waterproof. This makes it a great choice for high traffic areas or homes.  Not to mention, it's relatively easy to install and comes in a variety of colors and styles.

 

Update your fixtures. This includes things like door handles, faucets, and lighting fixtures. These are often overlooked but can make a big difference in the overall look of your home.  Furthermore, they are usually one of the first things that potential buyers will notice.  Modern fixtures will appeal to buyers making it one less thing that they would want to update after they move in.

 

Cleaning up the exterior of the property is also crucial.   First impressions are important!  If the outside of your home is cluttered or in need of repair, it will give potential buyers the impression that the inside is also in poor condition.  Spend some time cleaning up and make any necessary repairs. This will go a long way when it comes to selling your home.

 

Lastly, declutter your home. This means getting rid of any excess furniture or items that you don't use on a regular basis. It will make your home appear larger and more open.

 

Do you have any additional ways to increase the value of your home, drop them in the comments below.  If you are considering selling your home, contact me today.  We can discuss specific ways for you to maximize the value of your property.

How will increase in interest rates impact the real estate market?

Posted On: August 8th, 2022 7:08PM

How will increase in interest rates impact the real estate market?

 

As interest rates rise, the cost of borrowing money increases. This has a direct impact on the real estate market by making purchasing power lower and demand for properties decrease. This can lead to slower growth in the market, and allow for the supply chain to stabilize.

 

Some buyers will no longer be able to afford to purchase a house and will stop looking. This may lower the demand for housing. Buyers who are still interested in purchasing will be looking for a lower priced home because of their reduced purchasing power from increased interest rates. This will put pressure on the sellers to lower their prices. This could shift the supply/demand curve and possibly lead to a decrease in home values.

 

Lower demand, however may allow some buyers that previously given up to re-enter the market to look for a home. Currently, there are still a lot more buyers than there are properties for sale. Therefore, we are still in a sellers market and the median sales price remains high.

 

Higher interest rates will make it more expensive to borrow money and increase risk, thus slowing growth . The building of new construction homes will decrease. This slowdown will reduce the demand for raw materials and allow for supply chain to stabilize.

 

Many factors influence the real estate market and we can't predict for certain what it will be like in 3-5 years. Like all other markets, the real estate market is cyclical and we will likely see a lowering of prices eventually. But what we don't know is when and by how much. One thing we do know, current inventory remains low. It is still a seller's market and prices remain high. If you are considering selling your house, call or email the Premier Properties Sales Team today.

Posted On: August 8th, 2022 6:40PM

The Orange County, NY real estate market is very strong right now. There is a lot of competition for properties, and prices are still rising. The median sale price of a home (over the last 12 months) in Orange County is now over $385,000, and many homes are selling for much more than that. If you're thinking about selling your home, now is also a good time to do it. Prices are high, and there are lots of buyers out there looking for homes.

 

The real estate market in Orange County remains competitive because there are still more buyers than there are homes for sale. This has caused prices to continue to rise, as buyers are willing to pay more for a home that they are interested in.

 

Although prices are still increasing, the rate at which they are increasing has slowed down. This is likely due to the rise in interest rates, as buyers are becoming more cautious. However, interest rates are still relatively low, so the market remains strong. Buyers are still searching and inventory remains low. If you are considering selling, call the Premier Properties Sales Team today.

 

We can't predict what the real estate market will be like in 18-months. A lot of variables contribute to the direction it will go. If you are considering selling the Premier Properties Sales Team will get you top dollar for your current home.
