Increase Your Chance to Sell – Boosting Your Buyer’s Mood

Are you tired of the early sunset and the lack of natural light in your home? If you’re planning to sell your home, this could be a major turn-off for potential buyers. Natural light is not only a mood booster, but it can also make your home feel more spacious, inviting, and welcoming. In fact, a bright and well-lit home can increase its perceived value and help it sell faster.

Here are some tips to help you make your home brighter and more appealing to buyers:

  1. Turn up the lights: Make sure all the lights in your home are on during showings. This includes overhead lights, lamps, and any other lighting fixtures you have. Brightening up your home will make it look more inviting and spacious, and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
  2. Open up every blind or shutter: Let in as much natural light as possible by opening up every blind, shutter, or curtain. This will not only brighten up your home but also showcase any outdoor views and create a more cheerful and uplifting environment.
  3. Use light colors and reflective surfaces: When it comes to paint colors and materials, choose light and reflective options. This will help bounce light around your space, making it appear brighter and more open. Consider using light-colored furniture, bedding, and accessories to add to the effect.
  4. Clean your windows: Dirty or smudged windows can block natural light and make your home appear darker and dingier. Make sure your windows are clean and streak-free to let in as much light as possible.

By following these simple tips, you can create a warm and welcoming environment that showcases your home’s best features and leaves a positive impression on potential buyers. So turn up those lights and open those blinds, and let your home shine!

Real Estate Market Report – MARCH 2023

The Encanterra community has seen some interesting changes in the real estate market over the past year. According to the latest data from the Arizona MLS, the number of active listings has increased substantially to 53, up from just 14 in March 2022. This may suggest a shift in the market, as more homeowners may be looking to sell their properties.

Despite the increase in active listings, the number of new listings in March 2023 remained steady at 14. Additionally, there were 5 pending listings, indicating a reasonable level of activity in the market. However, the number of sold listings has decreased to 9, down from 19 in March 2022. This may suggest that properties are taking longer to sell, or that buyers are becoming more selective.

The sale-to-list price ratio has also decreased, standing at 96.5% in March 2023, down from 101.4% for the same month in 2022. This suggests that buyers may have slightly more bargaining power than in the previous year, as sellers may be more willing to negotiate on their asking price.

If you are a homeowner in Encanterra and are interested in selling your property, it is important to work with an experienced Encanterra Specialist who can help you navigate the market and set an appropriate asking price. The increase in active listings may result in more competition, so it is important to price your property competitively.

If you are a prospective buyer, the increase in active listings may mean that you have more properties to choose from. However, the decrease in the sale-to-list price ratio suggests that buyers should still be prepared to make reasonable offers and be patient in the negotiation process.

Whether you are a buyer or seller, it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and data in the real estate market. If you have any questions or concerns about the market in Encanterra or the broader Arizona real estate market, don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance.
