What is your home worth?


Have you lived in your home for several years and you are curious as to its worth if you sold it today? Many times it is not what we think at all. Whether your market area is in a Seller's market or a Buyer's market, the buyer determines the selling price of your home. How much are they willing to pay? What condition is it in? Have you upgraded it? Where is the property located, in the city, in the country, suburbia? Here in Montgomery County, TX new housing developments are booming.

The statistics from the Houston Association of Realtors say for July 2015:

  • The median price of existing single-family homes decreased to $222,500 down -1.7% from June
  • Existing single-family home sales increased 0.8% from June 
  • Condos decreased in price to $165,000 down -5.7% from June 
  • Existing condo sales decreased -4.4% in July over June  


Are you thinking about selling your home?  If you leave all the details of your home and an email address, I can run a CMA for a more accurate assessment. But for a basic evaluation you can just add your address.

The Importance of Curb Appeal



If you are considering selling your home there is nothing like the present to start cleaning up around the exterior of your property. First impressions are very important; home buyers decide the moment they drive up to your home if they want to go in and if they would want to consider purchasing it.

*By spending about $400 - $500 on freshening it up you could boost your home's value by $1600 - $1800! That's a minimum of $1,100 increase!

Here are a few things to consider:
  • Remove weeds and trim overgrown plants
  • Keep the lawn mowed and edged, fill in empty spots with sod
  • Plant some fresh flowers and put potted plants on the porch
  • If you have an extended porch add a chair to two with a small outdoor table
  • If driveway and walkway have stains, power-wash
  • Power-wash, clean or put a fresh coat of paint on exterior walls
