New Year’s Real Estate Resolutions

Resolution for Homeowners:

  • Make extra payments on your mortgage; save in interest and shorten your mortgage repayment term.
  • Research opportunities for discounts on property insurance. Many companies offer discounts for major repairs or improvements.
  • Remain cozy through the season by winterizing your home.

Resolutions for Buyers:

  •  Clean up your credit. Create a budget. Track your spending.
  • Use automatic deposits to save 10% each month.
  • Contact a Realtor to stay up-to-date on the market and available options.
  • Be ready to act in low-inventory markets like ours. It’s often “speed to offer” that wins buyers their dream home.

Resolutions for Sellers:

  • Take care of needed repairs; small improvements make your home more appealing & valuable.
  • Declutter & organize so that you’re ready for photography and showings.
  • Determine your home’s value & understand investments that will increase the value.
  • Have a plan. What if your home sells quickly? Should you consider buying simultaneously?
