Remember the days when you didn’t have to rummage
furiously through the house to find a ringing phone, because it stayed where it
was supposed to be—plugged into the wall? You remember: it used to take less
than 10 minutes to check out the TV listings because there weren’t hundreds of
channels. And a gallon of gas cost less than a loaf of bread…
Of
course, those days are long gone. Unless you want to live on an isolated island
somewhere in an underdeveloped country, that’s that. Setting the Stage for Pearl
River Real Estate Listings
In the real estate profession, the good ol’ days
are gone, too. When I’m helping a client sell his or her home, I make the most
of the fact that the super-highway to today’s buyer is no longer the newspaper
or snail mail. It’s the Web.
It’s
the listings. Setting the Stage for Pearl River Real Estate Listings
The first glimpse potential buyers get
to any property is most often found through our Pearl River real
estate listings. Those attention-grabbing Pearl River real estate listings are the agent and
seller’s best chance to attract an in-person visit—with all that follows. Setting
the Stage for Pearl River Real Estate Listings
So how do you help your agent ace the Pearl
River real estate listings?
As in preparing for any performance: set the
stage!
Photographs are your best listings
allies, so “stage” the house before photography begins. Professional
photographers know that the viewer’s eye will be attracted to any out-of-place
detail: a dog bed in a corner, or one window with a blind pulled lower than the
others will create a distracting element. What looks okay in real life is much
less critical. Setting
the Stage for Pearl River Real Estate Listings
Savvy buyers will peruse real estate
listings in Pearl River
online before scheduling visits. They save time, effort, and expense—and for
those not committed to a specific area, the wealth of information published
online about the community helps narrow their search. If you’re looking to sell
your house, be sure your listing catches the attention of those serious and
educated buyers. They’re the ones who are likely to write an offer. Setting
the Stage for Pearl River Real Estate Listings
Ready to set the stage for a successful sale?
I’d love to prepare a marketing plan for you this spring! Call me and I will
gladly prepare a comparative market analysis for you, at no cost or obligation

New City Short Sale Process Takes Active Teamwork
New City Short Sale Process Takes
Active Teamwork
845 544 4026
A New City short
sale is the option usually preferred by anyone who faces foreclosure. It’s the
path that, with the approval of the mortgage lender, promises to ultimately
minimize damage to the homeowner’s credit score. New City Short Sale Process
Takes Active Teamwork
According to
Realty Trac, distressed sales of all kinds continued to decrease in the last
reported quarter, yet the non-foreclosure short sale volume increased by 4%.
That amounts to a significant 22% of all sales. Realty Trac’s are the most
reliable national statistics, and our New City short sale profile has likewise
reflected the continuing working out of the distressed property phenomenon. New
City Short Sale Process Takes Active Teamwork
Completing a
short sale in New City (or anywhere else, for that matter!) can be challenging.
If you’ve decided that it is your best course, you can do a lot to help your
agent accomplish it:
· From the
beginning of the New City short sale process, keep your agent informed of any
changes in the financial picture. That means keeping up-to-date on the changing
balance remaining on the mortgage, as well as the number of missed payments.
When the information is at hand, your agent can impart the sense of urgency
that gets your home sold as fast as possible.
· The speed of
sale is important, yet while a New City short sale specialist is an expert in
that arena, other important details regarding taxation and the law may
influence the best overall strategy. By encouraging your real estate agent to
work alongside an experienced attorney or tax specialist, you will form a team
that can execute your short sale package more efficiently than if they worked
independently.
Executing a
short sale means meeting multiple demands—each with its own timing
requirements. That can mean a lot of pressure: but if your agent asks you to do
something or provide additional information, stand ready to do it! That speeds
negotiations with buyers and lenders, increasing the chance that you will
successfully close your short sale. New City Short Sale Process Takes Active
Teamwork

no-obligation, in-home consultation to help assess your circumstances and the
next steps to consider. Call me anytime! 845 544 4026 or email me at riggsmarcella@gmail.com...

Your
mortgage: you only think about it once a month (if you’re on autopay, maybe not
even that often). Why worry about it? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,
right?
Wrong!
Like
all aspects of your big-picture financial planning, keeping an eye on that mortgage
can be an extra wealth-building move. I can point to three reasons why
re-evaluating your New
City mortgage could pay dividends:
Three Money-Saving Tips for Your New City Mortgage
Down, Down,
Down…
Ok,
with interest rates continually making headlines, this one might be a
no-brainer. But some folks don’t realize just how attainable significant
savings may be: a drop of just a single percentage point in the New City mortgage rate
can make a gigantic difference. A general rule of thumb is that if you can
lower your interest rate by a percent or more, it usually makes sense to
refinance. It’s certainly worth looking into. Three Money-Saving Tips for Your New City Mortgage
Pay
More Sooner (Build Wealth Quicker)
Nobody wants
to part with more hard-earned cash than necessary, but extra money out now can
wind up saving a lot of greenbacks later. Making just one extra payment a year
will have you owning your home free and clear sooner – whereupon those payment
dollars become yours!
Sound
too painful? It needn’t. See if you can set up bi-weekly payments of half your
monthly mortgage amount. You'll be making 26 payments annually: the equivalent
of 13 monthly payments! Confirm with your lender that the extra payments go
toward principal. Three
Money-Saving Tips for Your New City Mortgage
Eye That
Equity
If you’ve got a PMI payment, you know that extra insurance doesn’t
come cheap. So why make the extra payment a single month longer than necessary?
By law, your lender is required to stop charging you PMI after you accrue 22%
equity in your home. But in many cases, once you hit 20% equity, simply writing
a letter to your lender will prompt them to allow you to stop paying PMI then
and there.

“Curb
appeal” is an instantly understandable byword: one every home seller hears. You
can see for yourself how New City property listings that feature sparkling
exterior shots with superior ‘curb appeal’ instantly draw your attention — and
often, higher offers.
What Creates New City Property
Listings Leaders
Hearing
the phrase makes you picture potential buyers standing at the curb, viewing
your property. Yet the most important part of ‘curb appeal’ is the second word,
not the first. “Appeal” should be an active concept: one that’s about reaching
out, roping potential buyers in. Successful sellers create appeal by
making every part of a home’s presentation — from its debut in the New City property
listings to final inspection and closing — as actively appealing as possible.
It’s a frame of mind that brings results.
“Nice
idea,” you might be thinking; “but how do I put it into action?”
What Creates New City Property
Listings Leaders
Try
viewing today’s New City property listings from a buyer’s perspective: notice
how a mish-mosh of dark or bright colors can make rooms look detached from one
another. A home’s ‘flow’ is important, but you can’t see that from the property
listings. But you can work to neutralize your home’s color scheme. When
your selection of wall colors makes a coherent whole, your home looks like an appealing
place instead of a collection of disjointed rooms.
What Creates New City Property
Listings Leaders
It
won’t matter how well your home fares in the New City property listings if
visitors are greeted with strong pet or any other blend of objectionable odors.
Strong cooking aromas are right up there with cigarette smells to top off the
quickest turnoffs to prospective buyers. In doubt? Ask a friend for their
honest opinion.
What Creates New City Property

A
clean, clutter-free home adds appeal to any property, and is especially
beneficial for those with smaller rooms. A Saturday spent cleaning out the
house and boxing up as many superfluous items as possible is guaranteed to pay
off.

You
can’t appeal to everyone — and you don’t need to. But you can set the
stage for success. I offer a complimentary in-house consultation to all potential
sellers, so if you’re looking to maximize your home’s selling price, call me today to chat and arrange that meeting! Call me,

Call Marcella 845 544 4026 or email me at riggsmarcella@gmail.com or check out marcellariggs.com for more information
Of all the things first time homebuyers in Pearl River and New City are told, some that turn out to be pretty important are too often overlooked. Here are four items first time homebuyers will find useful to know: What First Time Pearl River and New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told
4. Remodeling costs more than you think
You’ve found a fixer: your energy is to be applauded. But before you write that offer, if you are one of our Pearl River and New City first-time homebuyers, be certain to have penciled out the bottom line cost of bringing the home up to the standard you require to be move-in ready. You may well be able to live with some items that you will fix over time, but in all areas, budget 20% more than your estimate. What First Time Pearl River and New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told
5. What matters is what the bank’s appraiser thinks the house is worth
Getting a loan approved isn’t as simple as having great credit and a down payment. Your offer also has to pass the bank’s approval process before they will okay the loan. What First Time Pearl River and New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told
6. Getting inspected doesn’t mean there won’t be problems
Should you skip the inspection process? Absolutely not. You need to know if the home is structurally sound. But owning a home involves continuing expenses -- and problems can pop up even on Day One of ownership. Make sure you have funds set aside. What First Time Pearl River and New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told
7. Buying your first house can be stressful…really stressful!
One of the absolute best pieces of advice I can give is to relax — expect the unexpected! Buying your first house is scary only if you allow it to be. Since it is all but certain that there will be ups and downs, allow the possibility that may not get any particular house. Veteran homebuyers come to understand the cost of overly emotional involvement — when you do, too, you will be better able to roll with the punches…and to make financially sound decisions.Click here for for helpful hints!

First time homebuyers in Pearl River
& New City are told a lot of things —
“Save your money,” their parents
advise.
“Location, location, location!”
their friend’s friend cautions.
Reasonable advice, for certain. But
there some important elements of the home buying process which a typical Pearl
River & New City first time homebuyer doesn’t usually hear. I’ve
listed some of the most important ones, in no particular order: What First Time
Pearl River & New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told
1.
Mortgage
rates you see advertised aren’t usually what you get
The banner ads are everywhere online:
“3.2% rates!” “No money down!” But the truth is, mortgage rates vary greatly.
The only way you’ll know what rates you actually qualify for is to go through a
complete mortgage application including credit pulls and income verification.
One more point to consider: online mortgage calculators, while handy, can be
deceptive if you do not factor in the real cost of tax, insurance and PMI when
you’re looking at an FHA-loan. What
First Time Pearl River & New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told
2.
Every
Tiny Bit of Debt Counts
Think that $1400 left on your Visa
isn’t going to matter? Think again. Every iota of debt weighs in when your
credit is scored. What many Pearl River & New City first time homebuyers
aren’t told is that when you apply for a mortgage, nearly every element of your
financial history is going to be analyzed with a fine-toothed comb. All debt
will be factored in as the bank figures out how much it is willing to lend.
Standards have stiffened, so the earlier you dispose of even small issues, the
better. What First Time Pearl River & New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told
3.
Your
Choice of Agent Makes All the Difference
Let me guess: your friend’s friend also
has an agent to recommend (she carpools with his sister’s next door neighbor).
There’s no reason you shouldn’t interview her: maybe that’s the right fit for
you. But don’t just sign up with the first agent you find: this is a working
relationship that can shape your family’s future. Your agent’s connections,
experience, and market knowledge will be key — and can well make the difference
between your writing an offer that gets accepted or not. What
First Time Pearl River & New City Homebuyers Aren’t Told

When
real estate occupies most of your day (as it certainly does mine), you find
yourself receiving no end of information. Some summarize points of view that
are available elsewhere; some provide original information that isn’t
particularly relevant to our local market. Homes
for Sale Price Rises Highest in 7 Years
One piece that gets more than the usual
quick-scan-then-into-the-recycle-bin treatment is the HPI Data Report.
It comes in once each month from the demographers at CoreLogic ®.
This group knows what they are talking about: among other things, they collect
the most comprehensive property database in the U.S. Homes for Sale Price Rises
Highest in 7 Years
Last week was relatively quiet on the
news front, so when they checked in, I was able to give their report a thorough
going-over. What I found:
Holy smoke! Prices of homes for sale nationwide
made the biggest year-over-year increase in seven years!
Yikes! Year-over-year, even including
distressed sales, prices of homes for sale jumped by an average 9.7%
That’s just a whisker short of double-digits! Homes for Sale Price Rises
Highest in 7 Years
Good golly! Those homes for sale price jumps were
taking place everywhere — in 49 out of the 51 states (the only exceptions were
Illinois and Delaware).
One more exclamation! (I’ve run out): As if the trend direction isn’t
already crystal clear, this represents the 11th consecutive monthly
increase.
As we prepare for Pearl River’s spring
selling season, it’s noteworthy how much this year promises to be a notch up
from even last year’s —already a noticeable improvement. Homes for Sale Price
Rises Highest in 7 Years
If you have a property that is a good
candidate to join this spring’s complement of Pearl River homes for sale, now
is a good time to give me a call. Rising prices mean that the buyers are out

Virtual Tourists Can Sight-See New City Homes
Virtual Tourists Can
Sight-See New City Homes
No wonder, then, that for
homeowners in New City, virtual tours have become such a powerful marketing
tool. Videos take time to watch, and search engines reward web destinations
when they hold prospects’ attention. That’s why presenting a virtual tour can
markedly increase a property’s online visibility. Virtual Tourists Can
Sight-See New City Homes
There’s more:
Virtual tours convince a wider audience. Out-of-towners give more credibility
to listings that are backed up by virtual tours. When people who are relocating
come to New City for home viewings, their time is short. Virtual tours help
determine in advance if a home is worth viewing.
The more interested a buyer,
the more questions they will have: yet they can’t repeat home visits every time
they think of a new question (or struggle to remember features they hurried
past). Potential buyers love the opportunity to re-visit at will. A virtual
tour is a superb way to present a home over and over – and always in its best
light. Virtual Tourists Can Sight-See New City Homes
I make it a point to put together
competitive, compelling marketing plans created to capture today’s buyer.

The sun rises in the east and, almost
as dependably, someone in Congress comes up with the bright idea of chipping
away at the mortgage interest rate deduction. Think of all that money
Washington could spend! Realtor®
Group Serves New City Homeowner Interests
The National Association of Realtors® is one of the main reasons that
idea doesn’t get much traction – nor many of the other threats to the
traditional benefits New City homeowners enjoy. The reason homeowners (even
those without mortgages) shudder at attacks on the interest rate deduction is
that the result would be to abruptly X-out a great chunk of the home-buying
public. That includes most young couples and many other groups, including many
retirees who are currently just squeaking by. Home values would necessarily
drop; jobs in the new home-building industry, dry up. The disruption of the
real estate market (the largest part of the national economy) would spread
mayhem through many other sectors. If the damage were widespread enough, total
tax revenues might even drop! Realtor®
Group Serves New City Homeowner Interests
Every year, the National Association of
Realtors funnels local members’ dues into providing a strong bulwark against
the forces that threaten homeowners. The NAR spends over $40 million annually
on campaigning and marketing public service messages about the benefits of
homeownership.
During the recent world financial debacle, they countered the
doom-and-gloom headlines. The underlying good news never changed: owning a home
is still one of the most attainable ways average Americans can build long-term
wealth. Facts:
·
Over the past half century, median home
values have increased by an average of more than 57% every 10 years
·
Home
prices typically beat inflation by one or two percentage points
·
Housing
sales in 2012 were the best in five years
·

When you have owned your home for
only a year or two, you may still be waiting to confirm all that
wealth-building potential the National Association of Realtors is always
championing. Nevertheless -- for New
City homeowners who have 10 years or more under their belts – the
equity they are likely to have accumulated is at least partly due to the
efforts of the NAR.
We all know that real estate is a
supremely local thing. But sometimes it’s nice to know that REALTORS in New City are doing their part
to look out for us all at the national level.

New City Open House Touches To Make Things Happen!
New City Open House
Touches To Make Things Happen!
Marcellariggs.com riggsmarcella@gmail.com 845 544 4026
When you are getting
near to zero hour for your first open house in New City, you should know some
of the simple moves homeowners can make to help ensure success. Here are three
of them -- three ways you can approach your New City open house to make sure
it’s a well-attended and effective marketing event: New City Open House Touches
To Make Things Happen!
1. Buy some flowers
It might
seem extravagant, but when you consider your New City home’s asking price, it
may prove well worth it. The amount you
spend on flowers will create an extra lift: the inviting aroma that greets your
visitors, together with the burst of color fresh arrangements add in key areas
subtly let buyers know you are willing to make an effort for a property that
rates star treatment. Plus, it’s almost springtime,
right?
2. Put up signage in advance
You
will already have a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but once you near the
day of your New City open house, getting the word out becomes a top
priority. If your agent is heads-up
(hint: I’m one of those!) – you will see that an “Open Sunday”' rider has been
attached to your sign days in advance.
It’s one of a number of small steps step that will help entice local
residents (who will tell friends who are looking) -- and definitely flag
weekday drive-bys to come back! Any extra exposure can be vital for courting a
goodly field of potential buyers.
3. Provide child-friendly
entertainment
Buyers have children,
and planned or unplanned, they may be along for the occasion. Bored kids are a
distraction – so why not have some coloring sheets and crayons ready? You’ll be
removing the hassle factor at the same time you are creating a welcoming,
kid-friendly atmosphere. New City Open House Touches To Make Things Happen!
When
it comes to a successful New City open house, small steps make a large
difference. I’d love to help set you up
for success this spring: contact me anytime for an in-home consultation to prepare for the coming selling season. New City Open
House Touches To Make Things Happen! Call me; Marcella 845 544 4026 Marcellariggs.com riggsmarcella@gmail.com
