The first thing that I recommend doing when you've decided to sell your home is to get an inspection done on it. Being proactive is important when it comes to repairs, and buyers will appreciate this when you go to sell. Knowing the condition that your home is in is also helpful when you sell it. 

The second thing that I recommend is to start cleaning out closets and storing things in your garage, or you can even get a storage unit if you think that's necessary. Declutter your home as well as you can. Ideally, your home should look like it was built yesterday when you show it to buyers. 

To prepare for showings and open houses, I recommend taking the advice of David Knox. I can send you a link to an excellent video where he gives advice on how you can improve the look of your home to get top dollar when you sell it. 

If you have any further questions about how to improve the look of your home, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to come out to your property and give you pointers on how to stage it in order to sell for top dollar!

Aloha! Today we're going to be discussing the real estate market here in Hawaii and how it's faring.

The market here started out hot in 2015, and there is definitely a good amount of inventory, but you'll still find that we're in a balanced market that's leaning towards a seller's market. 

The average increase in home prices has remained steady at 1% per month, and this has been occurring for almost seven years. The average condo price right now is $370,000 and the average home price is $650,000. 

In my own estimation, I believe that now is a great time to buy - but there's never really a bad time to buy. Historically low interest rates and very low down payment requirements with products like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can boost your buying power phenomenally. 

If you want to buy, you're going to need a good agent like myself, so please be sure to contact me. I would be very happy to assist you!
