Hello and welcome to this month in real estate. I’m JAY PAPASAN.
Our top story this month — the top reasons that sellers decide to move. But first, the numbers.
[NUMBERS]
MAIN
And now, our Top Story. According to KW research, most sellers put their house on the market because of one or more of the following factors …
• A desire to move so they could upgrade or “move up” to a bigger house or a house in a better neighborhood.
• A need to relocate because of work
• A change in family status, like retirement, children going off to college or those expecting a baby.
Whatever your reasons for moving, chances are good that you’ll want to make the most from the sale of your house. To learn how, we turn to News You Can Use.

Just about anyone with an active real estate license can post a listing on the MLS. If you’re tempted to try and save a few dollars by looking at limited service agents or even offering the house yourself, you should know first what a full service agent can do to help you sell your house. For instance, a full service agent can:
• Price your home according to the market
• Market your home to other professional agents representing qualified buyers
• Post your home on other internet sites besides the MLS; with high-quality photographs that show your house in the best light
• But most important, year after year studies show that full-service agents get sellers a higher sales price in a shorter amount of time. Experience and expertise pay.
The bottom line: whether you’re buying or selling, a full-service realtor can help you navigate the process and negotiate to get you the best possible price.

When it comes to the decision between buying or renting, some renters think they simply can’t afford a mortgage. The reality is if you’re renting, you are already paying a mortgage — it just happens to be your landlord’s, not your own.
Here are three secrets of homeownership that your landlord doesn’t want you to know …
Number 1: Equity. You can build wealth through equity. Think of equity as a long-term savings account. Every month you pay your mortgage, a portion of that mortgage goes into that account.
Number 2: Appreciation. You can build even more equity though appreciation. Think of appreciation as the interest your home earns over time.
Number 3: Control. A home that’s yours means you won’t need your landlord’s permission to paint, renovate and make it a home of your own.
If you’re ready to stop paying your landlord’s mortgage and start building your own wealth, talk to your real estate professional.

Our top story: One of the top things buyers are looking for in their next home.
But first, the numbers.

And now, our top story: according to KW research, one of the top features that buyers are looking for in their next home purchase is an affordable price. Surprisingly, price sometimes even outranks location for the number one spot.
Homeowners who keep their house well-maintained can expect smaller repair bills when it comes time to sell—which can mean a more competitive list price.

Want to keep your home warm this winter AND protect your equity when it comes time to sell? One great way to start is by “winterizing” your home now.
Here are a few things you can do to get started.
• Insulating pipes in crawl spaces and attics. Exposed pipes are susceptible to freezing and if they burst, you’ll end up spending money on repairs.
• Seal leaks with caulk or insulation to keep the cold air out and the heat in. Look for leaks around windows and doors, electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes.
• Change or clean furnace filters once a month. Dirty filters restrict air flow and increase energy demand.
• Drain your sprinkler pipes and any exterior water spigots to make sure the pipes underground don’t freeze and break.
• And lastly, watch your thermostat. Remember to turn it down when you leave and gradually warm the house upon return so the heater isn’t in overdrive.
To learn more about winterizing your home, talk to your local real estate professional.

Our Top Story: a recent study reveals the most popular updates sellers made to a house prior to listing it with an agent.
But first, the numbers …
And now, our Top Story. Recent research reveals the top three updates sellers make in preparation for listing their house …
• Painting the house came in at number one
• Flooring came in at number two
• And the third most popular update was to the light fixtures
Surprisingly, sellers spend almost twice as much money updating their house while they lived in it than they do getting it ready for sale.

Staging your house the right way is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your house sells. According to a recent survey, a properly staged house sells faster and for more money.
From the moment a buyer steps on your property, they are trying to envision their life in the home. So start where the buyer starts — with curb appeal. Some things you can do yourself include trimming trees and bushes, planting annual flowers, and re-painting the front door.
Inside, make sure the entryway is spacious and inviting. Your real estate agent knows that most buyers depend on their impression of the entryway, the kitchen and the master bathroom to make their decision.
Lastly, a word about depersonalization: think of your house as if it were a hotel room. When you check in, you don’t want to think of the other people who stayed there. That means putting some of your things, like personal photos, in storage. After all, you’re going to be packing up anyway when you move, so think of it as a head-start.
To learn more about the benefits of staging, talk to your local real estate professional.
