Update to My 2012 Predictions

It’s already time to update you all on some of my 2012 Outer Banks Predictions! In just a month’s time we’ve already seen a few interesting things happen. In case you missed the original email with all 10 of them, here’s a link.

Prediction – 2012 will see an increase in the number of sales over last year by 15%.

Update - According to the numbers just released by our local association, residential sales for January were up 13% over last January. There’s no doubt this will be a great year to buy a home!

Prediction - Home values will drop another 5% to 7%.

Update - Sadly I have to report there is already a 2% drop in median value of residential home prices just for January. With the Spring market coming up, the drop should stymie for a few months. It’s definitely clear selling sooner is going to be better than later!

Prediction - Your Dare or Currituck County Tax Assessment will be re-adjusted in the next 12 months and you’ll probably see a 25% to 30% drop in the Tax Assessment.

Update - Dare and Currituck County will NOT have new assessments until 2013. The appraisal department informed us that the assessments will not be complete until next January and at that time the County will mail the notifications to homeowners. The websites will not be updated until after the notification.

I’ll keep you updated with any other major news! As always, let me know how I can help with your Outer Banks Real Estate needs!

4 Ways to Score BIG When Selling Your Home!

Don't be caught 3rd and long!  NFL players prepare an entire season for the one chance to make it to the Super Bowl.  Right now is your chance to "get in the game!"  The next few months will be the best selling season of the year.  

It's the Super Bowl of Real Estate!

According to statistics over the last 4 years, March, April and May see a 30% spike in sales compared to the previous 5 months.  This means starting this week, if you've been thinking about selling your home, it's time to get our game faces on!  

In addition to the normal spike in sales, we're also currently experiencing the lowest level of residential home inventory on the Outer Banks since before 2006!  That means more buyers and less competition.  

To get in on the action, make sure you’re in winning condition with the following ideas:

1. Do your spring clean early to get the home looking its best!
2. Spruce things up!  Replace old, worn bedspreads, window treatments, shower curtains, rugs and other accessories with fresh ones to brighten things up!
3. Get a home inspection.  There’s nothing worse than a surprise at the last minute.  Once you get your home under contract, there’s no reason to have the deal fall apart over an unexpected repair issue.  Address it early and it’s a non-issue later!
4. Talk to your agent about setting the best possible price!  Don’t miss the best time of the year to get your home sold because you needed to “test” the market at a higher price.  All trends point to you paying for it later! 

If you'd like more information about what your property's market value is, contact me and I'll get a report to you within 24 hours.
