How to Sell a House Fast in a Declining Housing Market

This article provides some helpful minor home improvement tips for  selling your home quickly  in a decling housing market.

Minor Home Improvements that will Sell your House
When the housing market is declining and you want to sell your house it is more important than ever that your home look the best it can. Though making sure your home is clean, organized and uncluttered are critical factors in successfully selling a house; making some minor home improvements can also be key. Painting, fixing crack tiled floors, gluing down curled vinyl or linoleum floors, refinishing wood floors, replacing old exterior lighting fixtures, trimming shrubs around the home exterior, eliminating old ceiling water stains from previous roof leaks are just a few of the ideas. All of these minor home improvements can transform an older home into a new home with limited costs and time.

Paint Interior Walls
If your interior walls are looking shabby with marks and dents, and old nail holes then fill in the holes and repaint the walls. However, make sure you do a quality job by taping all trim first and cutting carefully around the ceiling. Nothing can hurt the appearance of a room more than a poor paint job.

Fix Cracked Tile Floors
If you have tile floors in your home’s entrance way and kitchen, make sure that you have fixed any broken tiles prior to attempting to sell your house. These are two highly visible and important areas of your home and poor flooring in these areas can make or break the selling of your home.

Glue Down Curled Edges on your Vinyl or Linoleum Floors
If your vinyl or linoleum flooring was put in after your kitchen or bath cabinets and appliances were installed, chances are there has been some curling at the edges of the Vinyl or Linoleum flooring. Apply some glue underneath the curling edges and press the vinyl or linoleum flooring back into place. You will need something heavy to hold down the edges while the glue dries.

Re-sand and Refinish your Wood Floors
If you wood floors are in rough shape then re-sand and refinish them. Quality wood floors can be a real selling point in a home. Scratched up wood floors, however, can be a real turn off to potential homebuyers.

Re-Paint the Ceiling to Eliminate Water Stains
If you roof at one time had a leak, make sure there are no ceiling stains. If there are, then repaint the ceiling. Ceiling paint is very inexpensive and can be easily applied with a roller and a couple hours of work. Leaving ceiling stains visible to potential homebuyers invites questions about your roof’s integrity. No future homeowner is interested in having to replace the shingles on the home as soon as they move in.

Update your Exterior Home Lighting
If your home is at least 5 years and your exterior home lighting is made out of brass, or brass plating, chances are that is dingy and faded and quite frankly an eye sore. Again, outdoor entrance way lighting is one of the first things a potential homebuyer sees. Installing two or three exterior lights is relatively inexpensive compared to delaying the selling of your home in a declining housing market.

Trimming Exterior Shrub
If your home’s front exterior shrubs are overgrown and swallowing up your home’s front exterior then pull out the trimmers and aggressively remove the overgrowth so that the homes front exterior can be seen again.

Power Wash the Exterior Siding
Make sure there is no mold and dirt visible on your home’s siding. Use a power washer and a proper detergent to remove any mold and mildew on the exterior of the home. Nothing looks worse to a potential homebuyer than to see a green sheen running up the home’s exterior.

With these minor home improvements, and pricing your home right to begin with, you can dramatically increase the chances of selling your home quickly. It is important to note that a potential homebuyer usually makes an impression of your home in the first 8 seconds of seeing it. Thus, it is critical that the home’s exterior, entranceway, and key rooms look as good as new before they show up at your door.

 How To Sell Your Home Quickly And Rent It Back

 As interest rates rise some homeowners are pushed into financial hardship with the increase in mortgage costs. Many facing repossession may have to consider selling their home quickly. However the housing market is slowing down and it is not easy to find a quick sale for your home. Waiting your time out with an estate agent can add further to the already financial and emotional distress. Many homeowners are reluctant to move as they have formed and emotional attachment to their property. For those who find themselves in such circumstances, to sell and rent back is an excellent option. The sale and rent back idea is simple to understand. The homeowner sells their property to a house sale specialist who then becomes the homeowner’s landlord and the rent is set at the market value for the area.

There are many positive points to this method as the seller receives the cash they need without any delay and without incurring any black marks on their credit file. If you choose to sell your house quickly and rent it back you will always be given an option to buy back in the future and a predetermined price will be set. Many find this a useful option when their circumstances improve. As there is no need to move, the children can stay in local schools and need not be cut of from their friends.

Repossession is not the only time when someone may consider a quick sale of his or her home. Here are some other situations where you may consider selling and renting back your home. Perhaps you are experiencing a rough patch in your relationship and may be considering a separation from your partner or spouse. One of you wants to remain in the home so that the children are saved from some of the effects of this separation/divorce.

May be for one of a number of reasons you wish to release the equity, which has built up in your property. This could be that you are facing financial difficult, have health problems and need money to pay for an operation or want to start a new business venture. Whatever the reason, a house sale specialist will buy your property quickly; release equity and rent back to you.

As we reach the end of another year, I find myself musing over the latest housing market trends and wondering just how hard it might be to sell my house next year. We have had more than a decade of non-stop house price growth, but now the housing market has reached a point of instability that indicates further slow down. Recent statistics show house sales falling faster than they have in the past eight years and the number of new house sales has dropped for five months in a row, bringing us the severest decline since 1999. Supply is more than demand as many rush to sell before the housing market slowdown, which is widely forecasted.

For the moment these down trends are regional and the most badly effected are Yorkshire, Humberside and the Midlands with the market in Birmingham being described as depressed. Northern Ireland has shown the most spectacular price boom of recent years. Yet recently has experienced the largest price falls. This month has also seen the Bank of England responding by cutting interest rates to 5.5 percent as they anticipate a slowdown next year. Assuming that mortgage lenders respond this should bring some relief to those who have seen their repayments rising sharply in the past year.

Another problem will be the nearly one and a half million people whose fixed rate terms end in the year to come. Will they be able to secure a comparable new rate or will this add to the rising repossessions? This week we have also been warned by Chris Huhne, the candidate for the Liberal Democrat Leadership, that the planned capital gains tax cut next April, could lead buy to let landlord’s hastening to sell. This could intensify what an already weak housing market.

One of the top DIY chains, Wickes is warning of a considerable slow-down of customer spending in the coming months because of the decline in the housing market. As housing prices fall, people are inclined to move less as equity diminishes and we also here more stories of people being repossessed due to excessive lending rates of the past and the Citizens Advice report nearly sixty thousand people seeking advice on loan and mortgage arrears since April 2007.

So if like myself you are considering selling your house next year, how should we proceed? Selling with an estate Agent can take six months, how much may the price of my house drop in this time? I have been in this situation before, though many years ago. I started out selling at fifty five thousand and eventually bagged a price of thirty eight thousand, so you can see the reason for my concern. However the answer may lie with a house sale specialist. These operated differently from an estate agent. Firstly they offer slightly less than the market value but there are no fees not even for a solicitor. One such company A Quick Sale Direct operates throughout the UK and guarantees a sale in as little as seven days.

When I weigh all things up, I believe this will be a better option than just sitting it out with an estate agent and watching my home devalue. What do you think?
