Is This The Right Time To Sell Your Pagosa Springs Home?
5 Steps To Take Before You Decide
Winter has delivered beautiful amounts of snow to Pagosa Country along with an influx of visitors already in love with our area. All of this activity begs the question…is this the right time to sell?
Our answer? It depends.
With over 20 years and thousands of transactions under our belt, our job is to help our clients navigate the market and serve their best interests. And while we most avidly stand behind our proven marketing platform and the unparalleled knowledge, experience and market leadership of our Galles Properties agents, there are some questions our clients should consider to determine if this is the right time to sell.
Evaluate Your Financials & Preferred Timeline
The first step in the process is confirming your financial goals for the sale of the property, as well as a preferred timeline in which to sell your home, as this will come in to play in the pricing discussion.
Find A Realtor®
Of course we would put our family of Galles Properties agents up against anyone for their experience, knowledge of the market and proven results! But no matter who you decide to work with, we high encourage choosing a Broker with experience and knowledge of the local area, as well as a proven record of closed transactions. It has never been more important to have a local, experienced Broker by your side to navigate the shifting real estate landscape.
Determine The Value Of Your Property
If you are considering selling, this is a great time to sit down with an experienced Realtor® and discuss the value of your property and a suggested listing price. The Broker will offer a market comp analysis and assist you in determining a suggested price, based on similar properties currently listed and recently sold in the area.
Identify Any Maintenance Or Improvements That Should Be Completed Prior To Listing
Generally speaking, with higher property prices and increased rates, buyers are not necessarily in the mood to make a lot of repairs. It is more important than ever to make sure you property is ready to show on the day your listing starts. The condition of your property will be directly related to the number of days on market and the sales price of your property.
Prepare For Showings
Year-round Pagosa Springs real estate activity has become the norm with the dominance of online search. That said, the seasons can offer their own unique challenges. During the winter and spring months, roads should be plowed, heat maintained or easily turned on in the home and walks cleared of snow or mud. In other months, landscaping should be well-maintained and sellers should prepare to be able to show quickly upon request. Since many of our Buyers come from out of the area – we can often be dependent on their schedule as opposed to the reverse.
