Just Sold 28366 Klondike Dr.... Kelly Did It Again - Record 2011 Price!

So excited for our seller as she has moved into her new home and we successfully sold her Montecido Townhome in Portola Hills.  As you can see from the photo's this was a lovely home in a great location;   two key assets, along with our extensive understanding of the current market, ensuring our homeowner received top dollar in this tough market!






 
I admit, it drives me crazy to see homeowners sell their home at the bottom of the market, when there is opportunity to bring them a higher sales price.  That's why our track record speaks for itself. This home sold for 10% over most recent sales in the complex.  The best part of today's market is, if you price your home out of range, then it is not going to appraise. Lenders are being very stringent on the numbers and the money they are loaning on.  It will also stay on the market a longer time, which will eventually hurt your overall pricing strategy.  However, that does not mean you should price your home below market.  Real Estate is local, that includes what is happening in your specfic neighborhood but also in the surrounding area.

Pricing is 100% in control of the homeowner! Guidance only comes from your real estate professional, always remember the numbers don't lie. This is why it is critical to your success to review what is most important for you as the homeowner, price, timing, etc.  Then review it with at least three Realtors. Ask yourself why does one home sell for less then another home if they are apple to apples.  A couple dollars off is not an issue, 10%  and over the last Sold, hmmm.  What does this Realtor do different? Does your Real Estate Professionals track record match what is happening in the market, in regards to timing and price?  Check out our post for some helpful tips, if you are considering selling your home  15 Questions to Ask Your Realtor!

Most importantly, Remember It's Possible!

Where are all the houses for Sale?

Image
If you are thinking about a move, downsizing, relocating and have been searching for a home, you are probably thinking "where are all the homes for sale" isn't this time of year that we would see them? The answer to the later is yes!  May is typically the busiest month in real estate.  However with over 80% of homeowners refinancing to the low rates over the last couple of years, homeowners are in no hurry to make a move into a higher rate.  Is this you?   But life happens and buyer demand is pretty strong in most price points.  One reason... is the equity position homeowners have.  Just released over 67% of homeowners homes are either paid off or they have less than 50% remaining on their mortgage.  That means there is a ton of equity in the market!  In addition, buyers have come to terms with interest rates.  They understand they can refinance later. As we do anticipate home prices to sky rocket due to this inventory issue not being resolved and rates will come down. He

Is your Portola Hills home going to be your first Rental Property?

With rising rents, right now is an excellent time to perhaps take the jump to become a landlord.   Check out these 3 Mistakes we see first time investors make in the real estate market. 1.  Not doing a cash flow analysis. 🤑 It is easy to say, oh my mortgage is this, I can rent it for that and do the math.  But it goes much deeper than that, understanding your overall cost is critical step in planning. 2.  Not working with a real estate agent. 💁‍♀️ Truth, having a R
