Getting the Best Price for Your Property
Haven Realty Blog

It has been recognised for some time that there are four prices in the market: ** The Sellers price ** The Agents price ** The Valuation price ** The Buyers price The buyers price is the only “opinion” that will ultimately create a sale. To sell successfully, the question you should ask your prospective salesperson is not ….. “how much can I get for my house” but …. “what will you do to get the best price for my property?”. At Haven we find we have a lot of buyers and not enough properties to sell.  Come and talk to the team at Haven about what we will do to get the best price for your pr ..read more

Is the Rateable Value an accurate price guide?
Haven Realty Blog
by joy.dickins
5M ago
Unless properties are individually inspected, rateable values can be a little erratic. Whoever does the rateable values in your area simply doesn’t have the resources to visit every property when rateable values are due for reassessment. Therefore there has to be some sort of in-house assessment, done with the help of a computer. The problem with this is that a computer is only very good at working things out based on the correct data being fed into it. If no one has actually inspected your property and seen the shiny new taps, or conversely the gap where you removed the supporting wall last y ..read more

Buying and selling in the same market.

Reporting of the current property market has raised concerns.  Some people are not comfortable listing their property for sale as they have to buy in the same market. If you are buying & selling around the same time and under similar market conditions, then the state of the market is almost irrelevant. It’s often been said that property is a long term investment.  There’s no set rule as to when the best time to sell & buy will be.  The best time is usually now as you have all the information you need at hand and it’s up to date. Based on previous market behaviour we expe ..read more

The Dangers of Over Pricing
Haven Realty Blog

Typically, when setting a price, home owners are tempted to ask for a high price with a view to negotiating down with a potential buyer? Make no mistake; we also want you to get the best possible price for your property. However, when a home is priced too high for the market the following is more likely to occur: – It attracts lookers, not legitimate buyers – It implies that you aren’t motivated to sell – It reduces the number of showings – It helps the competition look better – If the valuation doesn’t come up to the higher price, a buyer may not be able to obtain finance – You may ultimatel ..read more

Listen To The Market

When the time comes to price your home for sale, you may be tempted to start with the price you paid for it, add in a healthy mark up and leave it at that. Unfortunately this will not give you an accurate selling price however listening to the market will give you a figure which reflects the true value of your home. The best starting point is to look at other properties on the market in your area. Some of these may have been on the market for some time, and although this may be due to a number of factors, it is probable that the price is just too high. It is important to do your research befo ..read more

Why You Should List With A Haven Realty Agent
Haven Realty Blog
by joy.dickins
1y ago
Most people use a Real Estate Agent to sell their property instead of privately, but why should you? An agent’s local knowledge of the market allows them to value your property accurately and realistically.  They will be able to substantiate why your home will sell, the type of buyers that might be interested in it and how to best promote your property to the market. They have a database full of potential buyers and will already be in contact with a substantial number of them. It is unlikely that any other organisation will be able to market your property like an agent can.  In today ..read more

More To Marketing Than Meets The Eye!

It is no coincidence that top agents are passionate about achieving the very best results for their clients.  That’s why they are top agents.  The best buyers for a property usually pop up in the first 30 days that it is on the market.  After that ‘golden month’, interest tends to wane. There are two fundamental issues with regard to ‘price and timing’ that we also must consider.  The world is full of vendors who would love to have back the offer they rejected a month or two earlier. Timing:  the problem is that when the best buyers are going through a property, ie in ..read more

Bathrooms often become our sanctuary from the pressures of our daily lives, a place where we can relax with a hot shower or soak in the tub and forget about the worries of the world. If you’re thinking of renovating your bathroom, here are a few tips. Consider who will be using the room and how, then measure the available floor space before looking through magazines and stores for ideas. The best way to figure out space and size of the bathroom design is to tape the bathroom size onto a garage floor, then tape in the bath, shower and vanity to see how much room you have to walk around.

Do Tidy Gardens Help Sell A Property?
Haven Realty Blog
by joy.dickins

We have found that houses with good gardens tend to get more interest. If one of the selling factors for a property is a garden then if it’s presented well it can have a significant positive effect on the sale price but if it’s neglected, a garden can affect a property’s price. The return on your investment is greater than the cost of maintenance and plants when getting your garden ‘spruced’ up in readiness for marketing. A well maintained lawn tops the list of garden elements that most homeowners believe contributes to a property’s value. So if you’re thinking of selling get those gardening ..read more
