The Importance of Qualifying Buyers

Palm Beach County Market Update: October 2016

According to the Florida REALTORS® October 2016 market report, South Florida’s residential real estate market is slowing down. While listing inventories increased, the number of closed sales decreased. These statistics are in favor of buyers because of a larger inventory, while sellers may be at a disadvantage when negotiating prices.

The most notable figure from the report is a combined 12.1% reduction in overall sales of all property types in Palm Beach County. Another significant year-over-year change was the 6.3% net increase of active listings which marks an additional 773 units for sale. The entire listing inventory of all…

Thinking of selling? Consider a home inspection before you list

The first thing most of us do when we consider selling our home is to call an agent, set up a time to meet, get the agent’s advice on how to prepare and make the home its most attractive to potential buyers and then decide what to list the house for.

While decluttering your home and making it shine from top to bottom inside and out is definitely of the utmost importance, getting an inspection before selling your home could give you the edge in a competitive market.

Most sellers do not take this initiative. Purchasing a home is usually the biggest investment a buyer is ever going to make and while we all would like to believe that our home is the best on the block, wouldn’t you like to know if there are any hidden flaws or potentially pricey repairs…
