RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND CONDOS

If you’re looking to buy or sell real estate in California, there are a few important things to know before you list your property. Whether you’re planning to sell residential homes and condos or a commercial property, it’s important to make sure that you do a few specific things in the most effective way possible to get the most for your investment. Here are some tips to help you get a great price on your residential home and condos here in California.

​

• Be realistic in your listing price, and make sure that you’re comparing your property to other pieces of real estate in California in your specific area. If you ask too much, the property may not appraise, and it might also take too long for your unit or home to sell.

• Ask your real estate agent for a CMA or Comparative Market Analysis. This report will show you what homes or condos have recently sold in your neighborhood, comparative sizes, and how much each one sold for so that you lost yours for a fair and competitive price.

• Your property doesn’t have to be perfect, but make sure that it is at least turnkey ready. Most buyers today expect to be able to simply purchase a piece of property and move right in without having to worry about upgrades or repairs.

• It’s not required, but it is always a good idea to have a home inspection before you list your residential homes and condos. The inspector can find any areas of the property that need improvement and can give you a leg-up on negotiations before the contract is signed. It’s best to address serious problems before you list to avoid major headaches later.

• Always take excellent, professional photos of your real estate before you put it on the market. Clear, beautiful photos of the inside and outside will entice buyers to make an offer.
