Real Estate Myths In Florida

Real Estate Myths In Florida Such as Location Is the Top Priority, Pricing Is Less Important in a Hot Market, It Is Better to Offer a Credit Than Complete Repairs Ahead of Time, Home Renovations Pay for Themselves

February 5, 2016 //  by Sonny Solomon

There are common assumptions when it comes to real estate, much of it based on inaccurate facts. Using inaccurate information is costly in real estate. Do not fall for these real estate myths in Florida.

It Is Better to Offer a Credit Than Complete Repairs Ahead of Time

Whether you have old carpeting or need a new coat of paint, providing a buyer credit is not generally the best approach. Some items influence buyer assessments of value. Despite a credit, home buyers commonly reduce their price when a home needs work.

Location Is the Top Priority

Every town has that great neighborhood that everyone wants to live in. Given the high demand, people assume that it must be a profitable investment. However, the those areas are not necessarily the best investment because prices are usually close to the maximum. Therefore, there could be less room for increase. In many cases, the transitional communities are a better investment.

Home Renovations Pay for Themselves

This is a very common misconception. Unfortunately, the amount for property renovations is not often recouped when when it is time to sell. Even though upgrades do increase home values, the percentage is based on the type and scale of work. Bathrooms and kitchens, for example, often provide better value than other rooms.

Pricing Is Less Important in a Hot Market

Everyone wants to get top dollar. You hear a lot of buzz about homes selling for above the asking price, so you start your house above the range of recently sold listings and expect an even greater final price. This tactic can be a huge mistake. Comparable houses may have sold for higher than list price because their starting price was competitive. You should not conclude that you will get similar results no matter where you start.

Selling For-Sale-by-Owner Will Definitely Save You Money

Selling without a real estate agent may save on the cost of broker commissions, but it does not necessarily lead to a higher net. Real estate brokers understand the market and know how to best present your listing. Lacking that experience, you could select the wrong price, lose valuable marketing time, or fail to reach most of the buyers out there. These can cause a reduced sale price, perhaps even lower than what you are saving on fees. There are many other pricy errors that you can make through the process without the counsel of an experienced professional.

Staying Away from Real Estate Myths In Florida

A home is probably the most significant investments that you make in your lifetime. When buying or selling properties, it is important that you are educated and make smart decisions. Refer to real facts rather than the real estate myths in Florida. Work with experienced local professionals to help you in the transaction. This will help you sell faster, for more money, and with minimal liability.
