Are you trying to sell your property? 🏡

You can help make the process go more smoothly with these 5 tips:

Tip 1: Clean up your space. It’s hard to get a good sense of a property when it’s full of clutter.

Tip 2: Get rid of odors. Whether it’s from pets or from smoke, a pungent smell can be a deterrent for many buyers. Get rid of lingering odors by using baking soda and/or vinegar.

Tip 3: Make small repairs. Even minor problems like a loose doorknob or cracked tiles can negatively impact how people view your home.

Tip 4: Use neutral colors and natural lighting. If possible, paint your walls with neutral colors that will appeal to most people and open up the blinds and curtains to let in natural light.

Tip 5: Stage your space. Staging allows potential buyers to get a better understanding of how they might live in your home and helps them visualize themselves living there.

As you’re buying/selling a home, you may hear the advice to build equity. But what does this mean? 🤔

First, let’s go over the term .

Equity is the difference between your property’s fair market value and your outstanding balance on your mortgage. Home equity appreciates when you make mortgage payments or when your home’s value increases.

Now that we know what it means, how can you boost it?

Here are several ways:

✅ Increase your down payment. As previously said, the more you shrink the difference between your home’s FMV and outstanding balance, the better your equity!

✅ Similarly, contribute more to your mortgage payments.

✅ Increase your home’s value by investing in remodels and upgrades.

✅ Refinance to a shorter loan. This helps because you’re going to be contributing more to your mortgage (and shrink that difference). Your payments can increase significantly, so make sure you have room in your budget before doing this!

✅ The option anyone can do is to wait for your home’s value to increase. Housing markets change over time, and when demand increases, your home’s value does too. (In most cases.)

What questions do you have about equity?
