Increasing Seller's Property Value

Understand first of all that there IS a difference between price and value. Price is the amount you are asking for the property. Value is buyer perceived, and this perception of value is influenced by many factors such as location, features, condition, comparison to other purchase option, etc. By attending to details that can have a positive impact on the value, sellers can significantly increase their chance of attracting qualified buyers willing to pay the asking price.
Some tips to achieve a positive impact on value are:
- Perceived size impacts value, even more so than actual square footage. Open floor plans make a room feel bigger than larger spaces with smaller rooms. Showing property that is furniture free, or at reduced clutter, helps to make the…

If NASDAQ has hit an 11 year High & Steamboat Real Estate is 20-60% off?
Friday, February 3rd, 2012 at 5:17pm. 292 Views, 0 Comments.
Does it makes sense that NASDAQ is at an 11 year high while Steamboat Real Estate Values are the lowest we have seen in 5-30 years depending on the property? We live in interesting times. Our economy is not great but I agree with many economist's conclusion that it is remarkably durable given the challenges of the last few years. There are definitely challenges ahead but we are seeing improvements in many key factors and the horizon looks better than it has in years.
You can check your stocks online any time but knowing the value and supply of real estate is much hard because each property is different. You can look in the Steamboat MLS via IDX technology but that doesn't give you the whole story. That said as a class is there an opportunity when…
Real Estate Roundup & Expo Review
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 at 5:52pm. 229 Views, 0 Comments.
Don’t expect dramatic improvement in the real estate market in 2012, but there’s reason to hope for a return to more normal appreciation in the value of homes by the middle of this decade.
That was the message speakers at the 2012 Colorado Group Real Estate Roundup delivered to an audience of more than 200 industry professionals and interested members of the public in Steamboat Springs this week.
“We’re not out of the woods, but we should be back to normal appreciation within four to five years," keynote speaker Pam O’Connor said.
O’Connor is the CEO of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World based in Chicago. She said that before the rise of the real estate bubble began to expand in the middle of the past decade, real estate on a national basis…
Short sales equal 9 percent of 2011 dollar volume in Steamboat Springs
Monday, January 16th, 2012 at 10:48am. 358 Views, 0 Comments.
The number of distressed single-family homes that changed hands through the short-sale process more than doubled here to 29 in 2011 from a dozen in 2010.
The growth in short sales came against the background of a similar, but less dramatic, increase in properties that sold through foreclosure. And the totals in Routt County are apt to be even greater: The research done by Colorado Group Realty for this article relied on the Steamboat Springs Multiple Listing Service for its data and reflects only sales in which a Realtor was involved.
Short sales are processes through which homeowners avoid the foreclosure process by negotiating with lending institutions to accept a sale for less than the outstanding principal on the owners’ mortgage. The banks can…
