Painting your home to sell!

Paint your home in Leesburg VA before listing it?  Yes! It is the right thing to do.  If you are thinking of selling your Leesburg VA home, the best advice I could give anyone thinking of selling their Leesburg VA home …is paint it first.  This is not the real estate market for offering creditsor a discount to the buyer instead of doing the work.  Those days are over.  Before you list your home its smart to neutralize your personal colors and decor to prepare for the next owners.  Think of painting as a strategy to sell your home not as a chore.  The same way you want to avoid it, buyer do too!  They want a home not a project.

Before listing your home in Leesburg, take a trip to the local paint store or home improvement center, and you’ll be amazed at all the new formulations and improvements have resulted in a new class of paints for any need.  There are stain-resistant paints and some that are odor-free,  There are now energy-efficient paints, and kitchen and bath paints, that are mildew-and mold resistant paints, and as well as a plethora of paints for decorative purposes and special effects.  Think of it as a fine suit you can dress your home in to show it at its very best.  A fresh coat of paint can also hide a multitude of sins, they brighten a dark home, mask the smell of a vacant stale home, hide pet odors and a smoker’s home.

Loudoun VA Average Sales Price

 Loudoun VA Real Estate Update:

December 2009 saw a 6.17% increase in the number of homes in Loudoun VA compared to December 2008.   It isn’t hugh, but it is a very good sign.  In the sales of homes in Loudoun, the List price / Sales Price ratio of 95.18% shows us we are still clearly moving in the right direction. Loudoun VA home sellers are not still not getting what they are asking for in their original list price,  but the gap has narrowed substantially.  So there is still a little give and take in what a home actually is selling for. 

My thoughts? I would loved to see more sales of Loudoun VA homes given the lowest historical interest rates in decades.  That is very dissappointing.  However, recovery will not take place over night.
