Greetings!
Happy April! We at Eufaula Lakeshore Realty want to take this opportunity to say hello and catch you up on all of the real estate news around Lake Eufaula. 2011 has started off very strong and we are excited to tell you that real estate sales and listings are better than ever. If you haven't had a chance to take a look at our spring inventory, we hope you will. We have 70+ residential listings and most of these are either waterfront properties or water view properties and we have over 140 lots to choose from. We believe we have something available for everyone! As Easter approaches this month, remember: "Easter is a time of love and peace. It is a time when we say a quiet thanks for all that we have and for all the future holds. Easter is a feeling in our hearts of hope and faith and trust. It's a day of miracles; a day when our dreams seem a little closer; a time of retrospection for what has been and anticipation of all that will be. And it is a time of remembering with love and appreciation the people in our lives who make a difference...people like you." (Anna Marie Edwards) Happy Spring, Happy Easter, Karen Weldin Broker/Owner, MA, CRS, GRI, ABR, e-Pro, AHWD

The Numbers Game
What's Your Home Worth?
Websites like Zillow.com claim to provide estimates of what your home is worth, and while this estimate might be somewhat accurate, the only way to get a true assessment of the value of your home is to have an appraisal done by a certified third-party professional. There are a few situations where an appraisal is mandated, such as when you're buying and selling a home, refinancing or applying for a loan using real estate as security.
The appraiser's report can help determine a selling price, and it can provide owners with information about problems that are devaluing the home's worth and give insight about worthwhile fixes. Appraisals are usually conducted after an offer has been made or to determine the initial  value of a home as part of the selling process. Keep in mind that to approve a loan, banks typically require an appraisal using their preferred appraisers to ensure the most accurate assessment, even if you've already had one done by another party.
The appraisal offers side-by-side comparisons of the home, along with three similar properties and an evaluation of the overall real estate market in the area. The appraisal will also note flaws in the property, such as a crumbling foundation, and offer specific dimensions pertaining to the home, such as the square footage and the size/number of rooms.
The appraiser will also research the area's costs of labor and local building costs to determine how much it would cost to erect a similar property in the present economic climate. Things such as the home's location and nearby amenities are taken into account to increase or decrease the value of the home - for instance, proximity to a school zone or within a neighborhood might be an increase, while being situated near a busy highway or isolated from the community could be a decrease. These factors, among others, will be used to estimate an approximate time frame for selling the home, which is also included in the appraisal. |

Curb Control
Make Your Home's Exterior Shine!
Whether or not you're getting ready to list your home for sale, maintaining your home's curb appeal is important. To make  your home's exterior shine, think about following the same decluttering and staging principles you would use to spruce up the interior.
Get an outsider's view. Take a walk across the street to get an overall first impression of your property. Is the lawn unkempt? Are the hedges unruly? Rev up the lawn mower and trimmer; if you're short on time, consider hiring a gardening service to do an overall clean-up and be sure to keep up with regular maintenance. Assess the windows - are they cracked or dingy? Repair any cracks or dings on the panes and sills and make them shine with a thorough cleaning.
Color coordinate. Consider planting or adding to a garden with bright florals and, at maximum, one or two decorative pieces (iron statues, gazing balls, etc.), depending on garden size. If it's in the budget, rejuvenate your home with a new paint color - perhaps one to match the season, with a cool pale blue for winter or pale yellow for a warm, spring look. If youcan't revamp your entire exterior, consider repainting the front door to make it stand out, and replace existing hardware such as doorknobs or locks for a new feel.
Consider all angles. Prospective homebuyers are going to check out your house from all sides, including the backyard. Make sure any outdoor elements - the patio, pool, pond, deck and shrubbery - look just as inviting as the front porch. If you have a patio or lounging area, be sure furniture is up to date with clean cushions and no scratches or hasty repair jobs, and make sure the look matches the rest of the décor. |
