With the holiday season just around the corner, buying a home on Lake Nacimiento may be the last thing on your mind.  However, if you’ve been considering finding your dream vacation getaway or have been thinking about settling in permanently to Lake Nacimiento; the holiday season may be the ideal time to jump into the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market!

There are many great homes currently for sale in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch, but many buyers have decided to continue their search after the new year.  As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I’ve seen how the market can change its’ pace from season to season, and with less activity on the market during the holidays; searching for a home within the next few months can really be to your advantage.  Here are the top five reason why!

1. Lower Prices- With the lack of people searching during the holidays for a home in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch; prices soften a bit. You can view our current homes for sale on Lake Nacimiento to get an idea of what’s available on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market. You’ll notice these homes are priced to sell and are a great deal for buyers.

2. Less Competition- Many buyers don’t think to take advantage of house hunting during the holidays, so you’re sure to avoid any bidding wars that would occur at a peak point on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market. This will mean a less stressful home buying experience for you!

3. Motivated Sellers- Sellers dread not being able to sell their homes before the holidays get under way. They’re very aware that most are not in the market to buy a home until Spring rolls around, which means; they’re motivated. They know showings of their home will greatly decrease, so any activity on their home is good news. Oftentimes they’re willing to come down on the price or be flexible with closing dates, and other extras.

4. Favorable Mortgage Terms- Mortgage lenders may be willing to lower interest rates or let go of some of their fees in order to gain your business. With fewer people shopping for homes; they will be experiencing a slower time in their business as well. Be sure to shop around to get the best possible deal.  Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will help point you in the right direction.

5. Tax Deduction- Closing before the end of the year can mean you are eligible to deduct the interest component of your first monthly mortgage payment from your taxable income for this year. You may also be able to deduct any money you pay for points to reduce your interest rate. Of course you’ll want to consult with a Lake Nacimiento tax advisor to talk over the full details.

As you consider whether now is the time you want to buy a Lake Nacimiento home, I hope you take these five factors into account!  I would love to help you navigate through the Lake Nacimiento home buying process this holiday season and can assure you that you’ll find it can be a seamless and efficient transaction.

If you’re in the process of selling your Oak Shore or Heritage Ranch home on Lake Nacimiento, you’ve probably wondered what action you can take to help make your home stand out on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market.  With many beautiful homes currently available on Lake Nacimiento, selling your home may seem like a daunting task.  However, hosting great open houses that showcase what your home has to offer can be a great way to help get your home sold!

As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I can assure you that a successful showing of your home is very important.  Buyers may have browsed through the pictures of your home online, but seeing it in person is where they can really begin to envision the possibility of calling it “home.”  Not sure where to start?  Check out these five tips for holding a successful open house!

1. First Impressions- Believe it or not, a nice doormat or attractive porch can really set the tone for the entire open house. If there’s an old doormat, chipped paint or nothing special about the entrance to your home, buyers may feel that you don’t really care. A welcoming setting from the start will instantly let buyers know that your home is cared for and that each area of your home is well-maintained.

2. Make it Generic- It’s great to make your home personal; however your pictures, children’s art or your “to do” list on the refrigerator can be a large distraction to potential buyers. They need to be able to envision themselves in your home, so putting away those personal items will help buyers picture their life in your Lake Nacimiento home.

3. Clear Counters- Look at your kitchen or bathroom counters from a outsiders viewpoint. Do you have too many appliances cluttering your kitchen counter? Clearing this space will give the appearance of more room for cooking or their own storage. If your bathroom counters are filled with perfumes, toothbrush holders, etc… take time to put them in cabinets or drawers so buyers can see the actual size of the space.

4. Get to the Heart- The best way to appeal to the buyers’ heart is through offering something special when they walk in the door. Whether you bake fresh cookies, have coffee or hot chocolate for them on your counter, these added touches will set your home apart. Lighting a mildly scented candle and having your home appropriately heated for the day’s weather can make your home instantly feel comfortable to the Lake Nacimiento buyer.

5. Don’t Stick Around- While it may be tempting to want to hear what the potential buyers have to say, it can be awkward when the seller is present. They will feel that they can’t openly express their thoughts to the agent and will not feel as comfortable when looking throughout the home. Even if you take a walk through the neighborhood, being away from the home during an open house can make all the difference.

I hope these tips help you as you prepare for your next open house… hopefully it will be your last!  Making sure your home is welcoming and appeals to a wide variety of buyers can make all the difference in selling your home.

If you’ve been considering selling your home, but have questions or are still searching for a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent; let me know!  I’d enjoy taking the time to talk with you about getting your home sold!

I look forward to hearing from you!
