What is an escalation clause?

Posted on February 3, 2023 by Gary Fayerman

Now that you know what an escalation clause is, when do you use it?

➡️ Escalation clauses can be beneficial, especially in a seller’s market. If homes are selling fast, you’ll want something that can help your offer stand out in a competitive market and let sellers know you mean business. Therefore, the best time to use an escalation clause would be during a bidding war scenario.

Home Staging Myths

Posted on February 1, 2023 by Gary Fayerman

We hear about home staging all the time, but what is fact and what is fiction?

Let's debunk 3 home staging myths! ⬇️

❎ Home staging isn’t necessary when the market is hot.
It may be easier to sell your home in a strong market, but without staging, you could be leaving money on the table. Staged homes sell anywhere between 3-50% over list price on average. Homes that are not staged sell only an average of 1.6% over list price.

❎ When the market is down, you shouldn’t spend extra money to stage your home.
It’s actually quite the opposite. If the housing market is sluggish, it’s all the more reason to stage your home. Staging will give your home an attractive edge over the competition. Not only does a staged home sell for more money, but staging your home helps it sell 73% faster on average.

❎ You will have to move out to have your home staged.
You do not need to move out to have your home staged. Occupied staging is very common, although it may incur an additional fee. Another option to consider if you still plan to live in your home is virtual staging. With virtual staging, you don’t have to worry about having anything physically moved into or out of your home.

I've got an extensive list of home stagers that can help you on your journey! Let's connect today!

Furnishing your home on a budget

Posted on January 31, 2023 by Gary Fayerman

Furnishing your home on a budget

➡️ Plan Ahead
One reason why many people go over budget in their decorating is because of a last-minute approach to purchasing items.

➡️ Use Annual Sales to Your Advantage
Approaching annual sales as an opportune time to buy the things that are already on our lists is a more intentional way to go about the process.

➡️ Go Slowly
Bringing a space to life is a marathon, not a sprint. Go slowly. When you’re in the mood to buy new furniture, sometimes the excitement of the process and the goal to fill a space with all the pieces you want can cause you to rush through it, quickly racking up purchases that take you way past your budget. Try to remember that there is no rush to finish your space.

➡️ Shop Secondhand
Buying secondhand is often an opportunity to snag some major deals. Shopping secondhand also allows you to find unique pieces that could assist in giving your space a distinct, charming look.

How much money do I really need to buy a new home?

Posted on January 31, 2023 by Gary Fayerman

Determining how much money you need to buy a house has always been daunting for first-time homebuyers, but the current housing market feels like a new level of frustration.

Between home prices hitting record highs and mortgage rates surging, thinking about your budget can feel downright maddening. Here are the costs to consider when buying a home.

➡️ Down payment (Typically between 5%-20% of purchase price depending on your loan)
➡️ Closing costs (Typically 2-5% of your mortgage loan principal)
➡️ Moving (Avg. cost $1,600 for a move under 100 kilometers)
➡️ Home Owner's Insurance

What affects the housing market?

Posted on January 30, 2023 by Gary Fayerman

The correct answer is D. All of the Above!

The housing market is influenced by the state of the economy, interest rates, real income and changes in the size of the population. As well as these demand-side factors, house prices will be determined by available supply. With periods of rising demand and limited supply, we will see rising house prices, rising rents and increased risk of homelessness.
