Housing...Leading the Way!

How Housing Is Leading Us Out of the Great Recession by  THE KCM CREW  on  APRIL 30, 2013  ·  0 COMMENTS We are often asked if the housing market can truly rebound if the all-round economy remains sluggish. We answer by explaining the housing market is not dependent on the economy but rather the economy is reliant on the housing market. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at   Moodys.com , addressed this issue in a recent  report .   “Historically, housing has always led the U.S. out of recessions. It is the most interest rate-sensitive part of the economy, and as rates fall during recessions, housing rises first .” How does real estate impact the economy? Real estate impacts the economy in several ways. As Zandi explains: “Housing’s resurrection is crucial to the creation of more jobs. Every new single-family home creates and sustains almost five jobs for about a year. These include not only construction jobs, but manufacturing positi...

Lost Opportunities

I met with a seller today who was asking me about painting, landscaping, refinishing floors and more small improvements.  They wanted to know if they did all those things how much more could they sell the home for. I explained these are things that might not significantly increase the overall sales price of the home BUT if they are less than average will cost them buyers willing to make an offer.  Once a buyer gets a perception that the home is not up to par it might just totally turn them off. So, even if you don't get a dollar of return for your dollar spent on home improvements (which in most cases you will not), you may very well get some of your "return" in other ways, like more interest from buyers, and a faster sale. The bottom line is that you need to evaluate the return on your investment in home improvements from a buyer's perspective, and consider the value of each investment in terms of its overall impact on the value of your home.
