Selling Your Montgomery AL Home With Feng Shui

Saturday, April 13, 2013
by The Hat Team

There is a growing segment of potential buyers looking for houses which incorporate the principles of feng shui. An ancient Chinese practice, feng shui is believed to improve one’s life through the use of color, location and positioning, and specific materials and objects, all of which combine to produce a positive energy, or chi, in your home.

The primary focus of feng shui is the positive flow of energy, which contributes to the creation of harmony in life. Integral components of the philosophy are the five elements of fire, earth, water, metal, and wood, and each of these is enhanced by color selection and use in your Montgomery AL home as follows:

Other feng shui principles to follow include:

1. Avoidance of unnecessary furnishings and objects:

In feng shui, less is more. Proponents of the practice suggest avoiding big pieces of furniture and removing most plants, photographs, and personalize items in order to facilitate the flow of energy.

2. Abundance of light:

Ample lighting is conducive to good energy and should be generously provided in your Montgomery AL home to provide a sense of spaciousness. Natural light is best, but warm, soft artificial lighting is acceptable. Dimmer switches are strongly suggested

3. Outside appearance:

A solid, strong front door is essential, as is an attractive and clutter-free entranceway. Your landscaping should be well-maintained, your house numbers need to be clean and easily visible, and a well-lit entrance is a must! 

4. The feng shui “trinity”:

The bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom are of vital importance in your home since there is a powerful connection among the three areas which promotes health and well-being.

  • Bathroom: Try to create a spa-like, relaxing atmosphere through the use of lighting and mirrors, which give the room a sense of space
  • Kitchen:  Incorporate unadorned countertops, fire and wood tones, and lighting under the cabinets to invite a good chi.   Add a basket of fresh fruit or flowers.
  • Bedroom:  You should have a solid headboard and a bed that is approachable from both sides and flanked by two end tables. The walls should be in earth colors, and televisions, computers, and exercise equipment should not be present.

Good feng shui means positive energy, sure to help with the sale of your Montgomery AL home. Who doesn’t want the hope of good health, happiness, and prosperity?

Preparing For a Spring Sale Of Your Montgomery AL Home -- Part 1

Saturday, March 30, 2013
by The Hat Team

As 2013 emerges with positive signs for the real estate industry, homeowners who have been sitting on the sidelines may finally be ready to put their homes on the market.  If you are one of those preparing your sold signMontgomery AL home for sale, there are some tried and true tips to help you gain the most from your efforts. In fact, some of the most important fix-up projects a homeowner can perform may be accomplished with little more than elbow-grease, and they can definitely help to speed up the sale of your property.

A thorough cleaning, a fresh coat of a neutral colored paint, simple staging, and attentive grooming of your yard are the basics of prepping for a successful sale.  First impressions are important, and a neat, clean, and roomy look certainly appeals to potential buyers of your Montgomery AL home.

First steps:

  • Cleaning: When you clean, pay attention to small details. Wash windows, dust blinds, launder curtains, dust/scrub baseboards, scour appliances, and straighten up the contents of your closets.  Clean all door knobs, phones, entertainment equipment (remote controls), switch plates, banisters, and other things that are repeatedly touched. Click here for an organized check list and schedule.
     
  • De-Odorizing: (especially if you have pets).  Vacuum and wash potentially smelly surfaces (don’t forget dog beds and littler boxes!), steam clean your carpets, and rid your home of pet hair as much as possible. Also, be wary of using scented candles or oils to mask unpleasant smells as some people may be bothered by synthetic fragrances. Gizmodo.com offers sage advice for naturally eliminating unwelcome household odors.
     
  • De-cluttering: Get rid of piles of magazines and stacks of mail.  Too many books for the bookcase?  Pack them up and store them.  Organize kitchen and bathroom drawers. Use attractive storage bins to keep things out of sight but still easily accessible.  Remove large or bulky furniture and decorative accessories to  allow for ample walk-through room.  For more on effective use of space, click here.
     
  • De-personalizing: As important as they may be to you, knick-knacks, personal photos, and keepsakes add to an overall cluttered feeling that can make your Montgomery AL home appear smaller and more difficult for potential buyers to envision as their own. Personal collections, be they butterflies, trophies, or decorative masks, need to be kept out of sight until you move.

Next?  Interior and exterior staging.  Coming soon.

Midtown Montgomery Real Estate Market Trends - March 2013

Friday, March 22, 2013
by The Hat Team

Let’s face it, all the information in the world about how to buy and sell a house is at your finger tips. So why hire a real estate professional to represent you in the purchase or sale of your home, when you can save the big fat commission they charge and do it yourself. If you have asked yourself this question, you are not alone. Here are the top 5 reasons to hire a real estate professional:

1. Education & Experience

Most people buy or sell homes 2-3 times in their lives. Many real estate professionals are involved in buying and selling real estate 2-3 times a month. Henry Ford once said that when you hire people who are smarter than you are, it proves you are smarter than they are. You don’t need to know all there is to know about buying or selling real estate, you just need to hire the people that do. Hire someone with more experience and education than you that can help you get the best possible deal and save you precious time and money.

2. Agents are Buffers

If you are a buyer, agents will insulate you from builder representatives and listing agents, who can be piranhas when going after a sale. And if you are a seller, your agent will weed through the ‘lookie loos’ and bring you only well-qualified buyers. Real estate professionals save you time…and as they say, ‘time is money.’

3. Neighborhood Knowledge

Your neighbor may know that the people who sold the house down the street were asking $350,000, but your real estate agent will know that the house actually sold for $295,000 and paid $5,000 of the buyer’s closing costs after being on the market 45 days.

4. Price Guidance

Your real estate agent is able to guide you through the decision making process to help you make the right choice for yourself and your family. Whether a buyer or seller, agents are able to provide you with the data you need to choose a correct price and then put together a negotiating strategy based on market supply, demand and conditions.

5. Market Conditions Information

Real estate professionals can also provide you with market data such as price per square foot, median and average sales prices, days on market and list/sell ratios that will have a bearing on your buying and selling decisions.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for February 2013.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for February 2013 show the number of homes sold increased by 25% when compared to February 2012. The average sales price increased by 21% to $120,403 for the month. The median sales prices increased by 30%, and market times increased by 16 day. The highest selling home price increased by 59%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 20% from February 2012.

Midtown Montgomery February 2013 February 2012
Homes Sold 24 18
Average Selling Price $ 120,403 $ 95,287
Median Selling Price $ 82,656 $ 58,000
Days On The Market 133 117
Highest Selling Price $ 695,000 $ 286,000
Lowest Selling Price $5,000 $4,000
