Rise in Real Estate Prices Slows...and That's Good News!

The future of Robertson County real estate prices is always a matter of keen interest to area homeowners. So it’s important when the latest national numbers in the Case-Shiller Index show that the rate of rise in real estate prices has begun to slow. 

Robertson County homeowners should be pleased!

“WHAT?” you may well be thinking. If the rise in national or local Robertson County real estate prices is slowing down, why in the world would that please homeowners? The answer is only a little bit convoluted. 

The fact is, the recent remarkable leaps in real estate prices had some knowledgeable observers shaking their heads. The Business Insider even headlined, “These Home Price Gains are Not Normal, Sustainable, Or Believable.” BI was reacting to the previous three straight months’ real estate price appreciation “above 10%.” They speculated that a large number of foreclosures now being recycled at more normal price levels had created an artificially high growth rate.

That’s why slowing down a little would mean a more normal market — and more reliable growth statistics. Other conditions make that story easy to accept: 

While interest rates have risen slightly, at today’s rates, borrowing is still notably inexpensive. The increase in investor participation (they tend to pay in cash) also reflects the more conservative lending environment.

By the end of the financial crisis, construction in many parts of the country had fallen sharply, leading to a tight housing inventory. The shorter supply caused additional pressure on real estate prices.

Another factor: rising rents. Whenever the economy performs well, rentals reflect it, in turn stimulating Robertson County real estate prices. The economy may not be as robust as we’d wish, but its positive direction plus the stock market’s rebound have combined to support value growth.

What to expect from Robertson County real estate prices this fall? Going forward, I would expect to see a continuation of gains at the slightly slower rates we are beginning to register. If that’s the case, anyone looking to re-enter the residential market should find that now is the time to start looking…and offering. 

Call me to discuss your own outlook!

Advantages to Selling Your Home in Robertson County, Tennessee This Fall

Whenever a home lingers on the market, the likeliest two culprits are either a price that’s too high to be competitive, or a home that’s not in top showing condition. If you were unsuccessful in selling your home in Robertson County, Tennessee this summer, it would be particularly disappointing given the strength of the selling season. Reports show that in August alone, home sales jumped 43.6% compared to August 2012. At the same time, some sellers reported the reappearance of multiple offers.

The good news? Selling your home in the fall or winter is not as difficult as most people commonly assume. In fact, selling your home in Robertson County during the coming months can offer certain benefits. In what many people assume is an “off season,” fewer homes are on the market — less competition. At the same time, buyers in these seasons tend to be more serious about buying. 

Pricing is almost always the overriding issue. Home values haven’t fully recovered from the peaks registered before the residential housing crash. Robertson County median prices are on the rise…but even so, they are still 8.5% below the high water marks reached in 2007. If you bought in 2006 or 2008, on either side of the high, you might have to set your asking price around the same price that you purchased. Selling your home with dispatch might depend on it.

Showing condition matters, too. Selling a home is different from living in it. To be competitive with the other homes for sale in Robertson County, the property should be spotless for every showing. Removing excess furniture, art, and personal items such as family photos or trophies is important for creating a home that appears spacious and airy. It also lets buyers more easily imagine their own families living in your home.

Don’t let the lack of a summer sale discourage you. When you set your asking price correctly and provide an immaculate showing environment, you’ll give yourself a strong chance of selling your home in Robertson County during the cooler weather months.

Selling Your House Using Fall Staging Tips

Staging to Make Selling Your Robertson County, Tennesssee House a Speedy Affair

In today’s competitive residential market, success can sometimes come down to presentation: how well a home is staged. Something like 94% of homes that are well staged sell in just 29 days on average (this compared with the 145 days Stagedhomes.com found it took to sell an unstaged home). If you are selling your house in Robertson County this fall and are aiming at a quicker sale, some simple DIY staging tips could help make the difference.

If you will be selling your house in Robertson County soon, you can think of the fall weather as a boon. Robertson County buyers will be receptive to that are warm, comfortable and inviting. Use these cues to help you decide on your color scheme. Choosing warm neutrals that make the space feel “homey” is many a pro’s choice.

Another great idea for fall home showings is to make some autumn goodies the morning of the showing. Scents like warm cookies, pumpkin pie and other evocative treats are just the thing to make buyers feel welcome and at home.

Selling your house needn’t break your piggybank when it comes to staging, but you should be willing to spend at least a little. Get your cues from watching design shows or by reading through fall seasonal features in magazines. Little touches like furniture covers and small décor pieces may not cost a mint, but the effect can help you recoup more than the investment.

Bear in mind the main strategy in staging is to help potential buyers feel at home in an environment that isn’t familiar. Selling your house can depend on their being able to walk in and immediately start imagining their belongings in your space. This is the ‘blank canvas’ effect. It means taking down family photos, storing knick-knacks and non-essential clutter. You’ll be doubly pleased when your home sells quickly and you’ve already gotten a head start on the move!

These and other simple home staging tips will prepare you for selling your house in Robertson County more quickly — not to mention more profitably — this fall! 

Call me anytime this month for a no-obligation in-home market consultation.
