How to Sell a HomeVideo Tips Series for Carlsbad Home SellersThe First Open House ![]()
Selling your Carlsbad home is complex, and it takes time, no matter how experienced you might be in selling houses. Even in our busy market where inventory is low being a seller is a challenge, and there is lots to know. My “How to Sell a Home” tips and advice video series provides quick answers to important issues you face when selling your Carlsbad home, BEFORE you get started. You can view these videos on your iPhone, SmartPhone, or Tablet. Check out the video at the bottom of the page to learn more about Your First Open House! YOUR FIRST OPEN HOUSE IS ONLINE!As a seller you might be thinking that you do not want any open houses for your property. Too much hassle, having to spend time out of your home, or having hoards of people coming through, especially neighbors, who have no intention of buying it. And you might feel that an open house is unlikely to bring you the right qualified buyer Or you may be favor of open houses, since you see them all the time, have attended them yourself, and want to make sure your home gets as much exposure as possible. ![]()
Regardless of your sentiments about public open houses, the reality is that YOUR FIRST OPEN HOUSE IS ONLINE. And your home had better be “show ready” for all those buyers, and agents, who are going to be seeing it, perhaps minutes after it hits the MLS and a multitude of other websites. The majority of buyers are looking online in their home search, on many different sites, probably in excess of 90%. What this means for you is that the first time a buyer “sees” your home will be somewhere on the Internet. And they may not be able to see it unless they come with an agent if there are no public open houses. That said, it is critical that your home be show ready, just as if you were expecting buyers to walk in the door. And the photos, and any videos, have to be top notch. Buyers can be kinda finicky, and if they don’t like how a home looks online, or there are very few photos to showcase how terrific it is, they may click right on past. You know what everyone says - a good first impression is essential. And it's pretty tough to overcome a bad first impression. ![]()

they’ve seen pictures of online. While these shots can give you a good idea of whether or not you like a house, visiting it is still a primary requirement.An Open House can be a great opportunity to see a property in a more informal setting, letting you explore it a bit on your own. The first thing you should look into doesn’t even concern the house at all. Explore the streets surrounding the house and take note of those who live there. Well-kept yards and kids playing outside can be signs of a great neighborhood while overgrown lawns and a lack of activity may be bad signs. Especially if a family is part of your plans, the neighborhood could be a crucial factor and is something that is difficult to get a feel for without visiting.
Once you arrive at the house, take a look at the outside before you head in. Does it have Curb
Appeal? Does anything need repair or new paint? Does the roof look sturdy and intact? Chances are most things you notice will be cosmetic fixes, but if anything does jump out at you, you’ll be happy you took a look.Further, taking a lap around the house will let you know what level of privacy you have. Some people like to be able to always chat with their neighbors while some want to be left alone. Whatever your preference, it is good to know what you are getting into.
Finally you should enter the house. Do a full tour and explore everywhere you are permitted. From the basement to the attic, you should look everywhere. It is always a great idea to take a tape measure with you to look at sizes of specific areas and the dimensions of drawers and cabinets. While you do not want to be overly pessimistic, it is vital to examine the home with a critical eye. Even the smallest spot of mold, for example, could be a sign of a bigger problem. Structural shortcomings can be tricky to spot as well, but are extremely important. Foundational cracks, leaky walls and windows, and uneven floors can all easily go unnoticed, especially in darker areas like the basement. Besides crucial issues, there are some other factors to consider, many of them intangible. Things like the flow of the house and the way light enters are virtually impossible to tell through pictures, but can make a difference in person Another great area to focus on is the people around you: the sellers, their agent, and other potential buyers. While you always want to remain extremely polite, you are certainly entitled to ask questions of the sellers and their agent. While they will put a positive spin on things, getting them talking about their reasons for moving can provide extremely valuable insight. Ask their opinion on the neighborhood, schools, etc. Also, keep your ears open to other buyers. They may know more about certain aspects of the area or point out something you may have missed. You should take advantage of every potential information source at your disposal. While we focus on a lot of small things here, it is still very important to consider the bigger picture. Things like layout, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage are all 
extremely important. However, chances are you are aware of all of these things before you visit the property. Even so, verify all of the details listed online to be sure there are no surprises later on. Between what can be discovered online and what you’ll see in an Open House, you should be able to get a great idea of whether or not you are ready to proceed with an offer.

Here's a look at the activity for this neighborhood:
At this time there are no new listings in Pheasant Run.
Only three sales have taken place in the last year and a half.
The average sales price is $139,933.
This information might give you the impression that real estate sales are down in Delta County, but that's not the case. Overall the county is experiencing some positive real estate trends and sales are above what they were for this time last year. 
For the first quarter of this year, there were 157 transactions. In 2014 there were 115 for the same time period. Those numbers are all transactions in all categories of real estate as reported in the local MLS. That's a 36% increase in the number of sales. Countywide foreclosures accounted for 13% of those sales.The number of completed foreclosures is down this year in the first quarter compared to the same time last year. Although it should be noted that the number of foreclosures is up slightly compared to the fourth quarter of last year. I don't see this being a lasting trend. As you can see from the statistics, Eckert and all of Delta County are experiencing some positive real estate trends. I expect we will see these trends continue. For more information on the local real estate market, please feel free to give me a call. I can help you with your home search. I have an email program that will keep you up to date on the new listings that hit the market. It's like putting the MLS (multiple listing service) at your fingertips. I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 24 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a REALTOR®, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call. *This information comes from CREN (Colorado Real Estate Network).

Photo: Fisker Karma I think the answer to that is not quite as evident. Moreno Valley, for the people who know about it know it as a commuter town with higher than average crime. So why is a company who is trying to re enter the Luxury Electric Car industry come to a City like Moreno Valley? Well first off if we consider the location of the City, it is about 60 Miles West of L.A, 80 Miles North of San Diego and 40 Miles from Fiskers Headquarters in Costa Mesa California. ( Don't Be surprised if the New Headquarters comes to Moval) Not to Mention its easy freeway access make it possible to reach 200 Million people within a overnight drive. But location can not be everything right? Of course not! Moreno Valley also sits in the outskirts of the Inland Region making traffic less of a factor than Orange County or Los Angeles as well as the price per square foot of building or office space is much cheaper in Moreno Valley. But as a company there has to be more of a reason and there is. 
Photo Tesla Model S Fisker Automitive has chosen Moreno Valley because of its track record in providing companies a savings on operating costs. What this means is that a penny saved is a penny earned especially when it comes to millions of Dollars. For example, when Sketchers came to Moreno Valley they estimated a savings in operating costs. What they did not know its that its savings would almost double their profits. At that time a share of Sketchers stock was worth about $5, now since coming to Moreno Valley the $25 million dollar a year savings Sketchers has on their yearly operatings costs rose thier profits 100% in since coming to Moreno Valley. In simple math if you had $100,000 in sketchers stock in 2013 you would now have over $2,000,000 worth of the that stock. Companies are flocking to Moreno Valley because they have seen the proof, savings in operating costs equals profits for their share holders or owners. So a town that was once known for its crime, commute, and low housing costs can soon make 180 degree turn and be known for its innovation, job growth, and prospering economy.

Well the month is shaping up to be a strong one. Perhaps it will be the best month for real estate sales in the past 6 years. We've had 20 homes sell on Lake Sinclair already in June. The record for the past 5.5 years is 23 and I feel SURE that my office will close three more this month, so I'm pretty sure we're going to blow that 5 year record out of the water. The low sale for the month was really a stretch to call it on water. Perhaps if you had a G.I. Joe canoe it would float in the water, but it wasn't boatable and the house was a small older singlewide... so the fact that the price is down just slightly as an average doesn't bother me at all. I expect by the end of the month enough sales will have occurred to prevent that one sale from dragging the average in too much of a downward direction. Look for the full report on June sometime in July, usually around the 10th of the month.Interested in seeing what is still on the market? Check out our site at Lake-Sinclair.com.

Found myself in a bit of a rut recently and decided to do something different. I drove to the other side of Austin to meet a friend for breakfast and to take a tour of his business and listen to what he was doing. It was such a good day. I was inspired and encouraged. My mind begin to burst with fresh ideas. I could not wait to get back to the office and make some notes. if you are fresh out of ideas it may help this Monday just to meet with someone you know and share the day, ideas and stories.
