Greer Real Estate Outlook For 2014

Orlando Real Estate Projections

Believe it or not, but we are almost one full month in to the 2014 year. With an increase from $267,000 to $281,000 for new homes and $196,000 to $207,000 for existing homes, it is plain to see that Greer real estate equity is on the rise and will keep that trend going towards the future.

Now we must put in to perspective that these are figures for the median price range of what we can expect. Obviously some homes could only increase by 5%, where another property could actually see 20% increase in the first year. The main part that we want to specify though is that it will increase. Sellers beware though, this does not mean that sitting on that Greer real estate for a few more years will yearn you the return that you always dreamed of.

Greer real estate is set to increase year over year with our current economy making drastic steps to get back to where it was previous to 2008 and, more than likely, make substantial steps to beat that current pace. Greer homes are in the perfect spot to receive a boost from not only the nation economy, but our local and statewide economy as well. Recently, it was noted that unemployment dropped again to another record low for the year as well as stating that the average household income had risen once more. This is a great sign of things to come for our real estate future.

Greer Real Estate A Top Purchase For Millennials

In the past year alone, we have stated multiple times that the millennial generation is in fact looking to purchase Greer real estate more than you would expect. Although many believe that the new generation is a little reluctant to purchase a home, and who would not blame them with the way the economy has gone over the past few years, but with home prices starting to rise and mortgage rates still at relatively low prices, many of the younger home buyers are seeing the potential return on investment in comparison to just renting. Even though many experts may speak the other way when talking about the millennial generation and Greer real estate, the newest report from the National Association of Realtors saw a larger market share in the recent purchases nation wide than previously.

The results are in and here are the percentages of Greer real estate buyers over the past month by generations:

30 percent – Generation X

30 percent – Baby Boomer Generation

9 percent – Silent Generation

Even the National Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun stated, “Given that Millennials are the largest generation in history after the baby boomers, it means there is a potential for strong underlying demand. Moreover, their aspiration and the long-term investment aspect to owning a home remain solid among young people.” It was also discovered through the survey that 87 percent of those that purchased a home and were 33 years of age or younger stated that a Greer real estate purchase was a great investment financially. The middle age of the millennial generation that purchased a home was 29 and the median income was approximately $73,600. The good news is that 87 percent of those that did purchase a home purchased an existing Greer home and are planning on keeping their home for a long investment of approximately 10 years. And of course to the biggest surprise, the younger generations were looking for information and help from real estate agents in comparison to the older groups that searched on their own. Although all of the information is readily available online, a source that many millennials cherish, older generations have the experience and know how of the process from previous purchases, making a real estate agent a necessity for the paper work process, but not for the finding process.

From this entire survey, it seems that millennials are ecstatic to begin their work with Greer real estate agents as the market continues to thrive. Of course, if you are looking to purchase or sell a home, please feel free to contact Carolina Mountain Real Estate for any and all information you may need on where this rising market is going in your area.

Increase Your Greenville Real Estate With Staging

We are almost to the conclusion of our 10 week, 10 tip challenge. This week we will take a look at another fairly simple weekend project that can make potential buyers fall in love with your Greenville Real Estate, dressing you home. Although this may sound strange, dressing and staging your home are relatively one in the same.

Of course we have talked about the importance of cleaning, patching and painting the interior and exterior of the home, but how are you going to make the home stand out even more on the inside? Staging your property is the best way to make the buyer envision themselves in your home. Creating a model home type feel will allow any person that takes a tour of your property to really fall in love with everything that you have done. On a positive note, those that do put in the extra time on their home tend to receive a higher priced value on their Greenville real estate as the buyers will believe that the property has been taken care of. This may or may not be completely true, but perception is key to getting the home sold.

When you are in the bathroom, most importantly, it is time to get a shower curtain that is lined in elegant and luxurious fabric. A new bath mat will also allow for you to stand out, especially if you are looking to purchase one that many hotels would buy. Do remember, these are your items as well. Once the Greenville home is sold you will get to keep these particular staging materials so buy something that will stand out and look perfect in your new property as well. A new roll of toilet paper is always a nice touch as well. Think upscale hotel bathroom or model home when you are staging.

Clear out all of the counters and make them shine like new. If you happen to be one of the millions of home owners that uses a toothbrush holder or soap dish, be sure to clean them out completely. You never want to leave a trail of dirty soap out, yet want the new owners to imagine themselves wanting to buy the Greenville real estate as is since they love the decor so much.

As far as the bedroom goes, look to the comforter to change. If it is torn, stained, ripped or just all around dated, it may be time for you to throw it out. Keep the focus on the room entirely and add a little extra flare with a duvet cover. Once again the whole idea is to make the buyers love what can be done with the room.

Never let windows pass as well. Curtains are a necessity to add that luxurious touch, but do not over do it. Windex every possible window and make them sparkle like they were just installed. Although you will be leaving this Greenville home soon, you still want to leave it as presentable as the day you purchased it.

New Flood Insurance Bill Helps Travelers Rest Real Estate

It looks as though the President of the United States is taking a stand against the rising flood insurance premium rates. With the passing of this bill, there will not be a limit to the flood insurance premium which will not allow any greater than 18 percent increases per year.

“We fought the good fight and we won and thousands of middle class families in Louisiana and throughout the nation are going to get immediate relief,” stated Senatore Mary Landrieu. “Most importantly, we reestablished in this arduous legislative process that affordability is important to the long-term stability of the flood insurance program.”

For the past two years, legislature has fought to limit these increases for those the 5.5 million policyholders who are in flood risk areas. Of course Travelers Rest real estate owners know this very well as the increase in the policy has brought double to ten times the amount that they were paying on their previous premiums. This priced out many middle class families making the program extremely unaffordable.

The new bill, The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act, will limit price increases to an approximate average of 15 percent per year from the 9 FEMA categories. With the bill’s passing, you will also see the grandfathering provision reinstated allowing for those that are now listed with a greater risk of flooding will not be hit with a substantial increase. You may also see a refund to your Travelers Rest real estate as well if you purchased after July 2012.

Senator David Vitter even stated, “This huge victory saves families in Louisiana and across the country from losing their homes.” With these changes, there should be almost instantaneous change in the real estate market allowing for an increase in those willing to buy and sell their Travelers Rest home. With this now off of the plate of millions of home owners around the county, expect to see a sharp change in the market as more owners will begin to have a positive light towards the flood insurance.

For even more information on how Travelers Rest will be effected by this new bill, please be sure to contact the Carolina Mountain Real Estate experts at www.CarolinaMountainRE.com. We would love to answer any questions you may have about this new legislature passing and how it will benefit your home buying or home selling options.
