Setting the Stage for Selling Your Wyckoff Home   The Real Estate Staging Association is always telling the world that when you are selling your home, you can expect to spend 73% less time on the market if you use the services of a professional staging company. Although this is an outcome everyone aims for, the cost of full bore professional staging can be a budget-cruncher.   A compromise solution is to combine a little personal elbow grease with some of the 'inside' tricks stagers use. When selling your home in Wyckoff as quickly as possible is the goal, it's worth following through with these staging pointers:   Magic Act   Everyday living creates clutter -- but to establish the look of a well maintained, move-in-ready home, the debris has to disappear.

Best and Final: the Dreaded Multiple Offer Those who have been paying close attention to how the houses for sale in Wyckoff have been performing may have observed the results of the dreaded “multiple offer situation.” When a closing price seems to rise unexpectedly, it could be because of something called the “Notice of Best and Final.”  That notice can be issued by a listing agent as soon as more than one offer is on the table. Experienced real estate agents sometimes choose this strategy to win the best price for their client. It instructs all interested buyers to submit their “best and final offer” by a deadline (usually within 24 - 48 hours). Since no counters or escalation clauses are allowed, one blogger has aptly called it Multiple Offer Sudden Death. Here's how it works:      • ...

Investment Real Estate Value Draws Big New Players Observers of residential real estate nation-wide have started sounding a new upbeat note. It has to do with the effect of recent shifts in buying and selling -- some of which may well affect investment real estate in Wyckoff, too. Wyckoff investment real estate has always drawn area residents seeking to profit by owning investment property close to home: properties they can monitor conveniently and with confidence. The one negative has been the assumed general neighborhood effect of widespread rental ownership. When rental home proportions rise within a community, there can be a gradual decline in the area. The reason: residents who own their homes are more careful about upkeep. Renters have less at stake. Now comes the well-documented ...

7 Things No One Tells Wyckoff First Time Homebuyers First time homebuyers in Wyckoff are told a lot of things — “Save your money,” their parents advise. “Location, location, location!” their friend’s friend cautions. Reasonable advice, for certain. But there some important elements of the home buying process which a typical Wyckoff first time homebuyer doesn’t usually hear. I’ve listed some of the most important ones, in no particular order: 1.    Mortgage rates you see advertised aren’t usually what you getThe banner ads are everywhere online: “3.2% rates!” “No money down!” But the truth is, mortgage rates vary greatly.

No Calm to Follow Wyckoff Home Sales “Perfect Storm” Last week, Wyckoff home sellers saw more than the usual number of reasons to look forward to this spring's Wykcoff home sales selling season. It looked like the opposite of the lengthy real estate “Perfect Storm” that caused freefall across the national landscape. Signs pointed to the possibility that we may be headed into the opposite market conditions. Webster's Dictionary says the opposite of 'storm' is 'calm' - but I don't think you would call Wyckoff's home sales outlook a “Perfect Calm.”  Far from it! Some of the signs:     •    Falling Inventory. Per the NAR's Existing Home Sales Report, there's a nation-wide shortage of total inventory. By the end of January, it had fallen another 4.9%: lowest in seven years. Raw unsold invent...

Agents Bring Wyckoff Knowledge to FSBO Dealings   Suppose you are driving past one of those 'For Sale by Owner' yard signs…and the house looks good! Do you screech to a halt, jump out and rush up to the front door to - quick! - sign a deal? More likely, you jot down the phone number (hopefully one is visible, though with For Sale By Owner signs, it's not always the case) so you can call up your agent to get the details. Veteran buyers considering aWyckoff For Sale by Owner (FSBO) property know why it's highly beneficial to use their agent from the start.  Even if you have found the home yourself, you should want that first call to go to an agent. Here's why: Agents offer advanced relationships that stand to improve your bottom line. For example, timing often can make or break a deal, a...
