Hello homeowners,
We are about half way through winter now and spring is just around the corner. February brings us Valentine’s Day, and with that, I like to take the opportunity to touch base with my clients and neighbors to see if they still LOVE where they live. Sometimes your home no longer suits your needs. I personally believe that life is too short to be unhappy in your home.
If you are looking to change your living situation, now is a great time to start preparing your home for the robust energy of the spring selling market! Oftentimes smaller projects can bring you the biggest return on your home improvement expenses. The cheapest and most effective thing that you can do is to declutter and depersonalize your home. A deep cleaning and painting (interior & exterior) have the best return on investment. People can often live with somewhat dated interiors, as long as the space gives the impression that it is very clean.
Some owners choose to take on bigger projects before selling, or don’t have the cash to do several smaller projects. Coldwell Banker has a solution for these sellers, the RealVitalize® Program! When this program is utilized, you can complete projects to ready your property for sale and delay paying for them until the close of escrow, when the costs will be deducted from your proceeds as the seller. I’ve enclosed a flyer with this letter to provide you with an overview of how it works.
To keep my monthly newsletter fun and fresh, I’m adding a new feature for 2022. Going forward, each month I will highlight a few sold properties in our beloved VALLEY VILLAGE. These listings will give you a “real time” idea of what is hot and new in our neighborhood.
Lastly, I am including the much-loved local events flyer for February. I hope that you take a little time out this month to do something fun with your loved ones.
Kind regards,
Luke
