Considering Selling Your Naples Home? Why Work with an Experienced Real Estate Agent

Why You Need an Expert To Determine the Right Price for Your House

Do you need an expert to sell your home? If your lifestyle has changed recently and you’re ready to make a move, taking advantage of today’s sellers’ market might be just the answer for your summer plans. With homes continuing to get multiple offers, this could be your moment to get the contract you’re looking for on your house if you’re ready to sell.

Luxury Homes Are in High Demand

As people realize their needs are changing, some are turning to luxury housing to find their dream home. Investopedia helps define what pushes a home into this category. In a recent article, they point out that a luxury home isn’t only defined by its price. Location is also an important factor. It could be a condo at a desirable city address, a spacious home on the water, or one with access to luxury activities like arts and entertainment, high-end shopping and dining, and more. The home itself will also boast some of the finest features available.

According to the Luxury Market Report from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, there’s been a substantial increase in how many buyers are purchasing luxury homes over the past two years. It says:

“. . . North America recorded the fastest growth of demand during the first year of the pandemic. Also, demand has . . . consistently increased, and even in April 2022, we saw a higher volume of sales compared to 2021.”

If you own a luxury home, it could be a great time to list your house today while demand is so high. But first, let’s understand where the demand is coming from.

What’s Driving the Heightened Buyer Demand for High-End Homes?

The same report says more people have reached a certain net-worth threshold, and that’s contributing to the increased interest in luxury housing:

“In 2020, we saw a 2.2% growth in the number of individuals with wealth of over $5 million in net value, but in 2021 that number grew by an outstanding 19.8%.

This total increase has resulted in the introduction of over 660,000 new individuals into the high net-worth bracket, which, combined with the existing affluent looking to both diversify and add new properties to their portfolio, provides a true insight into why the demand for luxury properties skyrocketed during 2021 and into 2022.”

So, if you’re looking to make changes to your real estate portfolio or are looking to sell your current house, it may be a great time to list and benefit from the high demand for luxury homes today.

Bottom Line

If you own a luxury home and want to know how strong demand is in your area, let’s connect so you can capitalize on current market conditions while buyer demand for upscale homes is so high.

Search for a Naples Luxury Home:

Can I Stay Home During Showings?

Sellers frequently ask if they can stay home during showings. Yes, you can stay home since it is your home. However, if the shoe was on the other foot and you were the potential buyer, would you want the homeowner to be present during a showing?

Here are multiple reasons why sellers should not be present when their home is being shown to a prospective buyer.

Should Sellers Be Present During Showings?

The short answer is “no”. Buyers usually tell us they are uncomfortable if the homeowners are present. They spend more time thinking about how uncomfortable they are then looking at your home. It also makes it difficult for buyers to speak freely amongst themselves and their Realtor about your property. They are less likely to do so in your presence.

Additionally, buyers feel rushed and will spend less time really evaluating your home. Since the ultimate goal is to sell, you want buyers to feel as comfortable as possible. So, although you have ever right to stay home, our recommendation is to leave shortly before the showing time to allow prospective buyers time to evaluate and experience your home.

Knowledge is Leverage

If you are selling your home, only you and your real estate professional know why. Perhaps you have plenty of time and the maximum price is most important to you. Or maybe selling as quickly as possible is your primary concern. Either way, you want to closely guard this information between you and your Realtor. When a seller attends a showing, the buyers may have questions and you may inadvertently share too much information.

Perhaps the buyers interpret something you say to mean you are not willing to negotiate so it’s not worth their time to put in an offer. Or maybe they learn you want to sell quickly which results in the buyers submitting a low offer. An experienced real estate professional knows how to navigate between your motivations and potential buyers, and ultimately negotiate on your behalf during the sales process.

What if You Are Concerned About Your Valuables?

For many home sellers, concern about their personal possessions and valuables while buyers are previewing their home is the main reason they want to stay home. Certainly a legitimate concern. We recommend a couple of options for sellers concerned about their valuables. One option would be to take any items you are worried about with you when you leave the property or lock them away if possible.

Of course, there are times where this may not be an option. Perhaps you have valuable paintings or artwork which you need to safeguard, yet it is not feasible to remove them for each showing. An alternative is “agent assisted showings”.

What Are Agent Assisted Showings?

An agent assisted showing is where the listing agent, who represents your best interests, will be the one present during the showing on your behalf. They will be able to discretely monitor the showing will staying out of the way to give buyers as much space as needed to preview your home. We still recommend you take, hide or lock away smaller sized valuables such as jewelry or money.

Why Summer Is a Great Time To Buy a Vacation Home

Are you ready to buy a vacation home? You may be someone who looks forward to summer each year because it gives you an opportunity to rest, unwind, and enjoy more quality time with your loved ones. Now that summer is just around the corner, it’s worthwhile to start thinking about your plans and where you want to spend your vacations this year. Here are a few reasons a vacation home could be right for you.

Why You May Want To Consider a Vacation Home Today

Over the past two years, a lot has changed. You may be one of many people who now work from home and have added flexibility in where you live. You may also be someone who delayed trips for personal or health reasons. If either is true for you, there could be a unique opportunity to use the flexibility that comes with remote work or the money saved while not traveling to invest in your future by buying a vacation home.

Bankrate explains why a second home, or a vacation home, may be something worth considering:

“For those who are able, buying a second home is suddenly more appealing, as remote working became the norm for many professionals during the pandemic. Why not work from the place where you like to vacation — the place where you want to live?

If you don’t work remotely, a vacation home could still be at the top of your wish list if you have a favorite getaway spot that you visit often. It beats staying in a tiny hotel room or worrying about rental rates each time you want to take a trip.”

How a Professional Can Help You Find the Right One

So, if you’re looking for an oasis, you may be able to make it a second home rather than just the destination for a trip. If you could see yourself soaking up the sun in a vacation home, you may want to start your search. Summer is a popular time to buy vacation homes. By beginning the process now, you could get ahead of the competition.

The first step is working with a local real estate advisor who can help you find a home in your desired location. A professional has the knowledge and resources to help you understand the market, what homes are available and at what price points, and more. They can also walk you through all the perks of owning a second home and how it can benefit you.

A recent article from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), mentions some of the top reasons buyers today are looking into purchasing a second, or a vacation, home:

“According to Google’s data, the top reasons that homeowners cited for purchasing a second home were to diversify their investments, earn money renting, and use as a vacation home.”

If any of the reasons covered here resonate with you, connect with a real estate professional to learn more. They can give you expert advice based on what you need, your goals, and what you’re hoping to get out of your second home.

Bottom Line

Owning a vacation home is an investment in your future and your lifestyle. If this is one of your goals this year, you still have time to buy and enjoy spending the summer in your vacation home. When you’re ready to get started, let’s connect.

Sarasota Real Estate Recap

The latest reports for the Sarasota real estate recap showed 1,289 properties sold for just over $768 Million during April. Both single family home and condo sales year-over-year decreased 25 percent in Sarasota County which covers the North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas.

Similar to the previous month, 57 percent of transactions were cash sales.  If you find yourself in a multiple bid situation, in most cases the seller will consider a cash offer a stronger offer than one with financing.

On another note, even though inventory remains historically low, 1,608 new properties hit the market during the month. Most importantly, there was a 23 percent increase in single family home inventory which is good news for buyers who now have more options. However, it’s important to note, the median days to contract for both single family homes and condos was 5 to 6 days. As new properties hit the market, they were snapped up quickly provided they were priced properly. As long as demand remains high and supply low, prices will continue to rise.

If you are planning to sell, the increased inventory may start to impact how high of a sales price you will be able to obtain depending on the community.
