Think positive. Something astounding can come from anything. Let’s take our current economic crisis as an example. You may ask what good can possibly come from downward spiraling stock markets, raising foreclosure rates and massive job losses.

People have begun to live within their means...

... Hooray!

Gone are the days of unsound purchases. In every aspect of consumer purchasing, people are tightening their belts. Starbucks struggles as consumers wonder if they truly need a $4.50 coffee. Or is it just an unreasonable desire they can do without? Hybrid and energy efficient cars are all the hoopla these days. Has anyone seen how Hummer SUV sales have plummeted? Excessivness is no longer in style. Rough Riding credit card carrying consumers are dying out. It is cool to be practical again.

Frugal Rules!

So how does this economic theory apply to our Real Estate consumers? Potential buyers search neighborhoods full aware of the foreclosure crisis. They promise themselves that they have learned from other’s mistakes. As they search for homes they are reminding themselves, “live within my means“

Savvy Sellers price their home according to what TODAY’s buyer needs. A few years back, buyer’s WANTS dictated market value. But the times, they are a changing.’ So to a seller, fancy upgrades lavish entertainment capabilities, non essentials cannot be used as a basis for pricing a property above market value. Price to needs, not to wants. This simple market report below explains it all…

Rockland County Real Estate Market Opinion: In today's market, luxuries may help a home sell quicker but may not necessarily justify a higher SOLD PRICE.

An Open House is a good way to show off your property to potential buyers who prefer a casual first look as opposed to a scheduled, private showing. It's best if you, your family, and your four-legged pets leave the house during the hours it will be open for public viewing. Your Realtor will greet buyers, provide basic information about the property and the neighborhood, point out special features, answer questions, and keep a watchful eye on your home. For the most part, your presence will not enhance the Open House experience, and it may detract from it. Prospective buyers are often uncomfortable in the presence of the owners. Here is a simple checklist to go through before an open house:
