Do I Need A Home Inspection?

Protect your interest

When you buy a Charlotte NC home, you buy its amazing features and great location. You also buy its flaws. Not all homes are perfect. Even some new construction homes have minor flaws.

Your home is a big investment, and you want to make sure it is in good condition when you buy it.  It is your right to know the weaknesses of the home you are going to purchase, and the home inspection allows you to learn that.

Many buyers feel that the home inspection is something they can do themselves because it seems easy to check the condition of the home and find out if the electrical or heating systems are working.  While it’s true that a home inspection only covers and inspect things that are visible, there are many things you don’t check when buying a home.

For example, one of the reasons you love the living room is for its stone-lined fireplace. Have you checked if it is safe? Did you check the wiring of the home? How about the plumbing?  All these things are covered in the home inspection.

Top 3 benefits of a home inspection

1. It saves you money. Home inspections cost $300 – $400 depending on the size of the home. It is a small amount to pay compared to your possible expense a couple of years later when you have to rewire your entire home, or when you need to have your foundation repaired.

2. It allows you to negotiate for a lower price. When the home you like is still at the upper end of your budget price range, a home inspection may give you the means to negotiate the price to your favor.

3. It gives you a good deal. Not only does a home inspection allow you to ask for a lower price, it also gives you the power to request needed repairs. Some sellers are willing to deduct the amount of repair from the listing price.

What’s included in a home inspection?

Home inspections start from the top of the house down to the bottom, but it will not cover everything in the Charlotte NC home you are planning to buy. The inspector has a list of different items to look at in the home. These inspectors are trained and certified by the state and are experts in what they do.  The following are some areas covered in an inspection:

• Structural components including foundation and framework of the house are covered. The inspector will check if the foundation is solid, and if the walls are straight. This is especially helpful if you are buying an older home.
• The roofing system is composed of the shingles, flashing, fascia and skylight which will be looked at. The inspector will check for defects which may cause drips or loose gutters.
• Exterior portions of the home will be covered including the siding, porches, and driveways. The inspection will check for cracks, rot or decay in the siding.
• The plumbing system which includes pipes, drains, and water heater will be inspected to check for deficiencies.
• Heating and Cooling system and its distribution equipment will be analyzed.
• Interior features like walls, ceilings, windows, doors, etc will be looked at.
• Insulation and ventilation will be inspected to see if it was installed properly.
• Fireplaces which include chimneys and vents will be inspected for problems.
• Kitchens will be checked from plumbing, to electrical and appliances.
• Bathrooms will be inspected for venting, leaks and more.

You will be provided with the detailed findings, which you can use as basis for further price negotiation. As a buyer, the home inspection report is your way of checking the investment you’ll be making is sound and will not give you any problems in the near future.

How to Price Your Charlotte NC Home Correctly

When it comes to selling your home, one of the crucial decisions you have to make is setting the right listing price.

The listing price is one of the first things that buyers will see when looking at your property online. It will serve as their basis in comparing your home to other Charlotte NC homes they are considering. The success of your home sale will depend largely on the price that you set.

Most sellers tend to make the mistake of overpricing their homes. Perhaps it is due to their emotional attachment to the property, or their intent on recovering their return-on-investment.

Overpriced homes languish on the market and they tend to lose the freshness of the home’s appeal after the first two or three weeks of showings. On the other hand, a lower priced home may sell quickly but the seller will end up with less money than he thinks his home is worth.

So how you can get the highest possible price for your home within a reasonable timeframe?

You have to start by striking a balance between overpriced and lower priced homes while considering yours and the customer’s side. Keep in mind that correctly priced homes sell faster than those that are not.

Here are other factors that you have to look into when determining your home’s listing price.

The home’s market value

When setting the price for your home, you shouldn’t let your emotions get in the way. Otherwise, you’ll end up with an overpriced home.

Having a  clear understanding of your home’s  true market value is the first step in establishing your list price. Market value is how much a home would sell for under normal conditions. This can be evaluated through a comparative market analysis (CMA).

The competition

The competition also plays an important role in determining your home’s listing price. Buyers will compare your home to other similar Charlotte NC homes for sale in your area.

This is where your real estate agent comes in. Your agent will provide you with a CMA which contains the comparables close to your neighborhood. To create a CMA, your real estate agent will look at the price of recently sold, active, and expired listings that are similar to your home.

A CMA includes active listings which refer to the homes currently for sale and pending listings which are homes under contract. It will also include homes in and near your area which were sold in the past three to six months.

Remember not to price your home above the pending list prices, or your property will stay on the market longer.

Market condition

It’s essential to know your home’s market when selling your home. There are three kinds of markets – Seller, Buyer And Neutral.

The seller’s market, also known as the hot market, happens when there are more buyers than available houses to buy. Serious buyers are often willing to pay more than the listing price. In a seller’s market, you can probably sell your home quickly and quite possibly for more than you ask for it.

The buyer’s market is the opposite of the seller’s market and is also known as the cold market. In this kind of market, there are more homes available for sale than buyers to purchase them. Buyers have more homes to choose from and homes tend to stay on the market longer. Be ready to lower your price if you want to sell your home fast in such a market.

The neutral or balanced market happens when there are relatively similar numbers of sellers to buyers, sale prices that are close to closing prices, and listings are on the market for about a month or a month and a half.

Incentives

Offering incentives is another pricing strategy that can help sell your home quickly and for a higher price. You may add on to the price of your home depending on the incentives you offer.

The Best Home Staging Paint Colors to Help Sell Your Home Fast

Colors are everything when staging your home

Let’s watch these two videos. One focuses on the latest stellar hues and the latter shows us the timeless colors we can use most especially when we are trying to make our homes as impressive as we can, to sell them fast and the psychology behind them.

The misconception a lot of people have is that we think that colors are changing dramatically year after year but it has always been a slow process. It’s an evolution that changes slightly from one year to another. That’s the reason why we sometimes go back to see if it has changed.

I don’t know Tori Toth personally but she did us a huge help with this video, don’t you think? It tells us exactly which colors cause the hearts of the buyers to beat faster. Warm colors will capture their attention and you have an assurance that they will make accurate decisions.

I personally find color staging choices irresistible. Imagine you can sell your home faster, not just in Charlotte, but anywhere you live just by painting your home a color that will affect not just your mood but your buyer’s mood and choices.

Hottest staging tips from a pro!

Neila Deen, an interior designer, and a home stager shared some excellent tips:

Avoid white. Although this color has always worked our focus nowadays is to make sure your homes won’t look too stark in the eyes of your buyers.

The overall goal of home staging is to make each room feel fresh, inviting and neutral enough so that prospective buyers can imagine themselves living there.

Here are my top 3 staging colors from Neila Deen’s blog that have proven to help sell houses faster:

• Gray is the new white. Take note of the different hues for gray though. This is where the evolution of colors come in. If you have no idea what the color greige looks like, I’m sure you’ve already seen it. A pale gray with a beige undertone is one of the most versatile colors for staging.
•  Classic Navy. Navy blue is an excellent paint color to add sophistication, drama and a feeling of refined maturity to a room. Similar to charcoal gray, navy works well in a light-filled room or on a featured accent wall, particularly in smaller rooms or walls with architectural details like a fireplace. 
•  Don’t even think about painting over your wallpaper – it will look shabby and give red flags for the buyer about all the work he or she will have to do later.
• Bird’s Egg Blue. Neila Deen calls this color a grown-up turquoise.  It is great for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, particularly when the rest of the room is white, beige or gray.  This calm environment can have a positive emotional effect on potential buyers and allow them to appreciate the beauty of the space.

What Are the Top Home Pricing Strategies?

There are four known strategies that sellers utilize to price their homes. Never assume that a higher asking price will automatically mean a higher selling price.Often, this equation works in contrary, especially if you’re not paying attention to what the market is telling you.Now that you have picked your agent, one of his or her functions would be to help you find out the best strategy to use in pricing your property and make it work.

1. Overpriced or sometimes called High Price Tactics – They are not in your best interest.   There are some listings that add 10 – 20% over their true market value and these homes end up sitting on the market the longest and are sometimes unsold.
2. Somewhat Overpriced – These homes will also sit on the market for a long time untouched, even if they are only 5-10% overpriced.
3. Below Market Value Price – Some sellers require a rapid sale.  They will attract multiple offers and sell fast, usually in just a few days. Be careful that the agent suggesting this method is making this recommendation with your best interest in mind.
4. Priced Correctly – Smart sellers, like you, recognize that real estate is part of the capitalistic system of supply and demand. You have thoroughly priced your home and completed an analysis of other sales on the market.

These competitively priced homes often sell within a reasonable timeframe and sell very close to the asking price. Remember that if this is priced correctly, it should sell for 97% to 99% of asking price.

How to negotiate price when selling a house  

One of the most challenging parts of real estate happens during the negotiation process. There are times that the buyer is too persistent and the seller gives up too easily or vice versa.The great news is the market has gotten better than it has been in years, but it’s still best to be fortified with negotiation skills when trying to sell your home.Let’s take a look at this video from TIME:You may be the kind who never questions the offer from buyers and that would be unfair. If that sounds like you, you can use these tips on how to polish your negotiation skills, whether you’re buying or selling real estate.

1. Pay attention to your first offers – Never disregard even the low offers. It may even be your best one. The best offers usually come at the time when you first list your home. It would be a mistake not to listen to these offers, regardless of what they are.
2. Try your best not to be emotional – Don’t disregard the fact that your home is not just a structure. It may be your family’s entire history but it’s best to stay level headed throughout the negotiation process. Be rational. Use business skills to learn as you can about the buyer. The more information you know about your buyer’s financial statements, the better you will be at negotiating.
3. Do not mention deadlines – If you’re behind on the mortgage, in the middle of a divorce or moving across the country, don’t highlight this to your buyer. This gives them unnecessary leverage. By keeping this information under wraps, you can avoid losing control of the situation.
4. Silence can be good – Author Olivia Fox Cabane said, “I’ve often heard professional negotiators tell me that they could accurately predict the outcome of negotiations fairly early on using one simple clue: whoever has less endurance for silence loses.”

A certain amount of silence shows respect for your potential buyer. Silence teaches discipline but there are moments that this may mean rudeness so just be careful.Get in touch with Nancy Braun at 704-997-3794 for a free home valuation. Up next, let’s be more playful and find out the best staging paint colors nowadays and how to stage a home when you are still living in the house?

Buyers looking for homes for sale in Charlotte will be more excited to tour a home that looks inviting on the outside.

A flagstone walkway

Two 6-by-2 stone planters

2. New Roof

Updating your home’s roof gives you the opportunity to cut cooling costs while improving curb appeal and resale value.

Roofs do need replacing eventually. If you fail to do so, the results could be very costly, including ruined walls, mold, and mildew stains.

If you notice that shingles are missing, curling up, or covered in moss, and gritty bits from the asphalt shingles are coming out the downspout, then it’s time to give your home a new roof.

The cost: $7,600

The return: 105% at $8,000

 

3. Hardwood Floors

You can’t go wrong if you’re thinking of putting in wood floors. Hardwood floors are a timeless classic. They have unmatched natural beauty and go with any decor, be it modern, traditional, or country.

Hardwood flooring goes in any room. However, kitchens and basements may warrant special considerations.

The cost to refinish: $2,500

The return: 100% at $2,500

The cost to buy new: $5,500

The return: 91% at $5,000

 

4. A Patio or Deck

A nice patio or deck is a worthwhile investment because outdoor living spaces have become more desirable. When you decide to sell, your home will be more appealing to prospective buyers looking for Charlotte NC homes for sale.

The cost of a patio: $6,400

The return: 102% at $6525

The cost of a deck: $9,450

The return: 106% at $10,000

 

5. Energy- Efficient Insulation

If your home hasn’t been modified with energy efficiency in mind, it will cost more to live in your home and maintain it.

Updating your insulation can make your home more appealing to potential buyers. Don’t wait until you’re forced to wear your parka indoors.

The cost: $2,100

The return: 95% at $2,000 plus the added savings on heating and cooling costs

 

6.  New Garage Door

Aside from boosting your home’s value, a new garage door also improves the safety of your home. A new garage door means it’s using newer technology.

It also helps in improving your curbside appeal. There are also many options to choose from-  a host of factory-finish colors, wood-look embossed steel, and glass window insets.

The cost: $2,300 (for a two-door)

The return: 87% at $2,000
