When the Time is Right: Selling Your Home in Sacramento

Tue, 29 Apr 2014 17:32:03 +0000

Current property value estimates aside, if you’re 100 percent honest with yourself, you’ll realize that there really is no such thing as a good time to sell your home. This is, however, more of an emotional than a practical issue. Letting go of a home and a neighborhood you love can be difficult for you and your family, but if you wait too long, you might miss out on the best chance to put your home on the market.

As far as real estate reports show, things are looking up for Sacramento home sellers if what they’ve been waiting for was a stable market:

Home values in Sacramento have hit a stable patch, leveling out at prices that make sense given area incomes, rents and other basic economic factors, several experts said last week.

Economists and real estate experts said the fact that the median home price in Sacramento has leveled out in past months, despite low supply and steady demand, means it probably won’t be going up as dramatically as it did in the past two years.

Homes that are priced well may still receive multiple offers, but buyers are cautious and generally won’t bid much over a house’s asking price, he said.

“People are not willing to overpay now that the market has corrected itself,” he said.

Timing the sale of your home when market conditions are right is one thing; making sure your home is ready for close scrutiny is another. Will your property get noticed right away? One way to guarantee this is by boosting its value with the help of a Sacramento bathroom remodeling contractor. Along with an updated kitchen, a beautiful bathroom is a huge selling point among house hunters.

If you’re ready for a remodel, get in touch with Yancey Company. They are a family-owned contractor that has been in the home remodeling business as early as 1939. With Yancey Company at the helm, you can trust that your bath remodeling in Sacramento will be in experienced hands.

If you’ve been thinking of putting your Sacramento home up for sale, now may be the best time. According to a report published earlier this month in The Sacramento Bee, property values in the area have leveled out, and you are likely to find a buyer and get a good deal for your home if you keep within the specified bracket:

At Lyon Real Estate, president Pat Shea said the region’s median home price has been relatively steady for eight months now, fluctuating between $280,000 and $290,000.

“That would be one of the indicators to me that says we have stability,” Shea said. “We’re still wrestling with just a couple of months of inventory, but you’re seeing the median stabilize right where it was in 2004 before the burst of monopoly money and falsely inflated sales (created a bubble). We’re right where we were 10 years ago.”

If you want to make your home look extra attractive to potential buyers and make them feel that they’ve hit the jackpot as soon as they arrive to check it out, consider a few simple home improvements. Home remodeling contractors like Yancey Company can give you an unbiased assessment of your home and recommend solutions that will increase its value at minimum cost and hassle to you.

One easy way to give your home an instant makeover is to replace your entry door. Because it’s one of the first things people see when they drive up to your home, it creates a lasting impression.

Don’t Let Renovations Stress You Out: Contact a Professional

Fri, 11 Apr 2014 18:59:17 +0000

You may be one of the many homeowners out there who dream of recreating the designer living spaces of magazine, blog, and Pinterest fame in their own homes. At the same time, however, you may also be among those who dread the many demands of remodeling: time, money, energy, and heaps of patience.

This is a common concern, and even therapists agree that home remodeling can be one of the biggest stress triggers in the household. According to an article published in The Sacramento Bee:

Winter is a busy time of year for do-it-yourself and home renovation projects. All that time indoors spurs thoughts of remodeling.

But attempts to make a home “better” can also tear it apart. On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being breakup stage), family therapists peg remodeling as a “6” in terms of stress on a relationship.

Home improvement—whether you do it over the winter or include it in your spring home makeover list—can, or rather will, require a lot from you. But with the help of tips from those who’ve done it before (and lived to tell the tale) and with the assistance of skilled professionals, making your home look better than ever can be a breeze.

For instance, if you want to have your bathroom renovated, hire a Sacramento bathroom remodel specialist who can work with your existing space, understand your vision for it, and find attractive solutions that will work for your whole family. A favorite among locals is Yancey Company, a contractor with more than 70 years of experience in the industry.

When you partner with them for a bathroom remodel in Sacramento or another similar project, they will conduct an initial interview over the phone before setting an appointment for an in-home assessment. They will then create a draft quote and propose a design made according to your specifications. They will also help you select the best materials to use and then present a more comprehensive quote detailing all other foreseeable expenses.

Stop worrying about your next home improvement project and give Yancey Company a call today.
