Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best ways to improve the value of my home?
Painting and staging provide the best returns on your investment; renovating kitchens and bathrooms is also very effective.
Should I buy or sell first?
When buying another resale home, it is normally preferential and financially advantageous to have sold your home or be in the process of doing so before buying another resale home. Matching closing dates within the perspective of a less than 6-month closing date is not that difficult. With interest rates at or near all-time lows, bridge financing is very affordable and, in some cases, very preferable for facilitating a less encumbered move.
What about when I buy a new home?
Normally, once construction starts on a brand–new home, it is approximately 100 days till completion. Assuming the builder will give you a “reliable” start time, say, foundation dug and poured in the spring of 2014. Then you should seriously consider holding off until Late January or Early February before listing. This is all based on the premise that market conditions are assenting or remaining equal. Last but not least, the construction industry is, from time to time, fraught with labor issues. So stay aware of any possibility of pending strikes. This has and can cause significant delays.
What type of upgrade doesn't add a lot of value to a property?
Hot tubs and in-ground pools typically do not provide much value to a potential buyer. They are personal-use luxuries; although they could sway a buyer, they don’t add much to the property’s value. Finished basements also don’t often provide much value compared to the cost of renovating an unfinished basement.
Is a new home more valuable than an old one?
Statistically, new homes (5-10 years old) provide a better value compared to similar older homes. The word “new” itself is a big selling feature. They are also more modern and fit the current design trends.
What role does an appraiser typically play when expropriation is involved?
The appraiser has a key role in any infrastructure projects requiring property acquisition. Although acquiring authorities initiate the need for appraisal services, those whose property is affected also require professional advice. Appraisers acting for claimants can serve as consultants on valuation issues, review reports prepared by others, or provide complete appraisal reports.
