The property market can sometimes seem like a scary place, with a lot of unhelpful and contradicting information about what to look for and avoid when embarking on the search for our dream home. And no amount of home-selling reality-tv shows will be able to fix that.
But there is hope! We turned to the experts at Turner Real Estate who have busted a few real estate ‘myths’ for us – both for when we’re selling and searching for ‘the one.’ We will break these down for you now…
Look for the worst house in the best street
Or should we look for the best house in the worst street? Which one is the truth?
Turner Real Estate says the answer to this lies somewhere in between. They say a property will always be worth what a buyer is willing to pay – and both location and housing quality are both really big factors.
Land will always be valuable in the real estate world, so location will always be a major driver where people search for their dream home. People always start with suburbs in mind. However, Turner Real Estate says that from there, people also love a well-presented property that screams ‘style.’
At the end of the day, you want to love where you live… whether that is the location or the house itself. And essentially, it all comes down to the values the buyers hold. But Turner Real Estate does stress that when searching for the one: consider location first, house second!
It Doesn’t Necessarily Matter If My House Oozes Style When Trying To Sell
People love to check out gorgeous homes online and often that pulls a good crowd at the first open as well. However, is it essential?
Turner Real Estate says every home is unique. But if you have a lot of ‘stuff’ in a property, it will appear cluttered and that does not present well to buyers. Home stylists know what appeals to buyers, so they will showcase your property and take your emotional connection away from the home.
If you choose not to use a stylist, Turner Real Estate has given their top three helpful tips to make your house ooze more stylish vibes / selling quality. Firstly, declutter and remove all personal effects. Secondly, use minimalist furniture and decorations to ensure that the house sparkles. And lastly, if you don’t have the time to clean and fix all of the small things, your agents will be able to recommend some reliable tradies who will do a professional job and allow you to focus on finding your next home.
So then, there it is: style DOES matter! For this reason, make sure you spend even just a little bit of time in this department. If you are on the move, you need to pack up your goodies at some point anyway, and so doing it earlier and allowing a property to shine often makes a lot of sense.
All Real Estate Agents Are The Same
It is important to find the right real estate agent. With a great agent, regardless of whether you are a seller, buyers, investor or tenant, you will be able to achieve the very best outcome for you. So taking some time to consider which agent may be best for your needs is highly recommended.
