How to sell your House

A Lombardy Rd home that "sparkles" on the surface will sell faster than its shabby neighbor, even though both are structurally well maintained.

From experience, Pasadena realtors also know that a "well-polished" house appeals to more buyers and will sell faster and for a higher price. Additionally, buyers feel more comfortable purchasing a well-cared for home because if what they can see is well maintained, they assume that what they can't see has probably also been well maintained. In readying your house or luxury estate for sale, consider:

• how much should you spend to prepare your house for sale?
• exterior and curb appeal
• interior appeal

Before putting your house on the market, take as much time as necessary (and as little money as possible) to maximize its exterior and interior appeal.

How Much Should You Spend to Prepare Your House for Sale?

When preparing your Lombardy Rd home for the market, spend as little money as possible. Buyers will be impressed by a brand new roof, but they aren't likely to give you enough extra money to pay for it. There is a big difference between making minor and inexpensive polishes and touch-ups to your house, such as putting new knobs on cabinets and a fresh coat of neutral paint in the living room, and doing extensive and costly renovations, like installing a new kitchen.

A Pasadena Real Estate Agent is familiar with buyers' expectations in your neighborhood and can advise you specifically on what improvements need to be made and which improvements are most effective. Don't hesitate to ask for advice.

Pasadena California

Estates Pasadena is a brand new development featuring luxurious 5 bedroom properties in Pasadena. If you are looking for new construction or would like the chance to customize your home, Estates Pasadena could be a great choice. Since these homes are still under construction, the builders can take into account buyers’ preferences on certain features of the properties. When I drove by today, I saw that the roofers were working on the roofs on some of the homes, so construction is definitely still progressing.

This new development is located near Hastings Ranch in the Northeast corner of Pasadena. There are nearby schools, businesses, shopping and restaurtants. People living in the Hastings Ranch have good community with annual events such as the Hastings Ranch Christmas light display in December. If you aren’t familiar with this area there is more information at the Pasadena real estate homes site.

Right now developers in Pasadena as well as the rest of the country have been greatly affected by the credit crisis. Their business is built on easy access to credit to fund their purchases and construction projects which can stretch for years. In the current economic environment credit has tightened up. I have heard from local developers that the combination of slowed sales of homes and stricter lending has squeezed them like never before. And even outside Southern California one local government supervisor confirmed that developers have all but shut down their projects in his area, as very few plans were submitted to his department for review.

So if newly constructed real estate is exciting to you, it’s a great time to buy. Estates Pasadena is one of the beautiful new developments in our area, and we can see the development bringing proud new buyers to the area.

We see this development becoming a well known community in Pasadena. Throughout the city of Pasadena there are several well known communities that have developed over the years. One example is Bungalow Heaven. For more information on these areas, visit the real estate Pasadena website.

Did you know it doesn’t cost you anything to use a real estate agent to find one of these great new homes? The agent gets paid only if they find you the right home, and best of all, you don’t pay. The seller’s agent pays the listing agent and the listing agent splits the commission with the buyer’s agent. It’s a free service to work with a Pasadena Real Estate Agent whether you are looking for houses or Pasadena Condos. Most people searching Pasadena Real Estate don’t know this.
