Preparing to Sell My Condo



Selling a condo is much like selling a house. You need to decide if you are selling it on your own or if you are hiring a broker. In today's Internet age, it is easier than ever to sell you condo on your own, but if you feel that you do not have the time to devote to it, hire a broker with a good reputation who can assist you.

Before you do anything, check you condo's bylaws to find out if there are any special considerations you need to be aware of before you try to sell your condo. Sometimes you are not able to sell to whomever you want and you need to make sure you are operating within the rules before you get into trouble.

If you are living in the condo while trying to sell it, make sure you are keeping the place as clean and organized as possible. While it is not necessary for the condo to look completely perfect, you do not want it to look too lived in. Messy surroundings and bad smells will result in no offer or a low offer at best. Keep the place picked up and do not overcompensate by spraying too much air freshener which can have the same offending result.

If you are not living in the condo while trying to sell it, try to make the home look as lived in as possible. Staging your home is a way to make the home look as though it is ready for a magazine cover shoot. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a few pieces of furniture and some well placed artwork can make all the difference in selling it quickly. If done correctly, home staging for your condo will be well worth the effort.

Ensure that all of the repairs are taken care of before you list your condo for sale. Drippy faucets and scratches in the woodwork can detract from a luxury condo and mean the difference of thousands of dollars in lost profit. Most of the maintenance of common areas and landscaping of the grounds should already be taken care of, but in case of issues, bring it up at the next homeowner's association meeting.

Any prospective buyers should be thoughtfully considered. Your current neighbors will be the people to deal with the new owners and you should try to make sure the new owners would fit in with the current residents. If the majority of current residents are senior citizens, you might not want to sell your condo to a family with young children. Be courteous to your condo neighbors, as you would want them to be to you.

Selling your condo is not any more or less difficult than selling a house. Make sure you have listed all of the luxurious amenities and take a lot of pictures if you are selling it on your own. Utilize the local newspaper classified ads section and consider joining one of the many free websites that assist you in selling your property so that you can have the advantage of potential buyers from around the globe.

Condo Hotel Mortgages - Better Than Traditional Condos

The condo hotel trend has been much ballyhooed, so why are lenders still sitting on the fence when it comes to consumer mortgage financing? Here are three simple reasons: 1.) The secondary markets (FNMA, FHLMC) have not seen enough condo hotel paper to grade the risks/rewards of this proportionately new asset class. 2.) Condo hotel is somewhere between a commercial hotel loan and a residential second home/investment property consumer mortgage, so they don't fit neatly into existing portfolios/guidelines. 3.) The yield/interest rate that a well-healed condo hotel purchaser is willing to pay on a 30-year mortgage is much lower than timeshare and other vacation ownership rates. Making this new yet-to-be determined risk hard to justify. Many of the new condo hotel offerings are even more difficult to mortgage at market interest rates and terms, because they are smaller than 600 square feet in size, do not have kitchens, include FF&E chattel in the sales price, and may be ...

5 Important Tips For Buying Your First Home

If you've lived in a rented home, or if you've lived with your parents until now, buying your first home can be an overwhelming or a great experience, depending on how you approach the entire project. There are some important issues that you need to keep in mind in order to make buying a first home a success. The first thing you need to check is your available budget. While we'd like to have many beautiful homes, sadly we can't afford them all. This is why going in a realistic way about it is most of the times the best ways to actually get the perfect home. For example if your budget is about $100,000, search for homes a bit below that budget to avoid overspending. Once you bought that home, there are many things that you will need to pay in addition, and unless you have some extra money set aside, you will have a tough time with your first home. Next, you should choose your location wisely based on your family requirements. You might have kids that go to schoo...
