Designing Your Dream Home: Why Thinking About the Next Buyer Matters

Buying a home is a major milestone in anyone’s life. It’s a sign of accomplishment and a place to create lifelong memories. However, it’s essential to keep in mind that someday you will have to sell your home. With that in mind, it’s crucial to make smart design choices and think about what the next buyer may or may not like.

We’ve all heard the saying, “They’re gonna have to carry me out of this home in a box,” meaning that someone plans to live in their home until they pass away. While this sentiment may seem comforting, it’s important to consider the future when making design decisions.

Imagine you’re backing up to a busy road or a massive power line. Do you think the next buyer will be pleased with the location? Or maybe you love the color lime green and decide to install lime green flooring everywhere in the home. While it may be your dream home, it may not appeal to everyone.

As a result, it’s critical to make smart design choices and think about the next buyer. It’s not just about creating a home that meets your current needs; it’s also about creating a home that can appeal to potential buyers in the future.

While it’s essential to buy your dream home and live in it for as long as you want, it’s equally important to think about the future when making design choices. Remember that everything you buy will eventually be sold, and making smart decisions now can pay off in the long run. So, work with a team of experts and keep the next buyer in mind when making design decisions for your home.

Fact or Fiction?

Let’s have a quick game of FACT or FICTION:

1. HOMES ARE TAKING LONGER TO SELL

Facts! Homes are taking longer to sell. For the month of January in the Phoenix Metro area, sales were down 14% month over month.Year of year sales are down 37%. And the average days on the market right now are right around 80 days.

2. THE BEST DATE NIGHT IN QUEEN CREEK IS AT THE OLIVE MILL ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

Fact! Did you know that the 2nd Wednesday of every month the Olive Mill hosts a pizza date night from 6:30-9pm. You can make your own pizza, enjoy some nice local wine and relax by a firepit or stroll around the beautiful outdoor space at the Queen Creek Olive Mill.

3. IF YOU ARE A BUYER GOING INTO A NEW BUILD COMMUNITY & YOU HAVE A REALTOR, IT WILL COST YOU MONEY

Fiction and not true at all! If you are a buyer with a realtor representing you, it costs you zero dollars to have representation. The seller or builder pays us and works on behalf of the seller. So don’t go in that new home sales office without your realtor. Don’t do it!

4. THE BEST CUP OF COFFEE IN THE EAST VALLEY IS TOP CUP

This is a Fact! This super cute coffee shop is located on Val Vista and Riggs in Gilbert. They have a drive thru and some of the best Avocado toast I ever had!

5. YOU DON’T NEED TO DO A HOME INSPECTION WHEN YOU BUY A HOME

Fiction! It might be tempting to not spend money on a home inspection but don’t do it. The home inspector is going to look at everything top to bottom. You don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move in and how would you know if you bought a lemon?

Real Good Lucks in Selling Home

Selling a home is a significant financial transaction, and it’s natural to hope that a stroke of luck will help speed up the process. However, relying on luck alone to sell your home is a risky strategy that could cost you time and money.

Here are some tips that will really give you real good lucks in selling homes:

Price your home correctly: One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is overpricing their homes. Such a mistake might lead your property waiting too long in the market, which will drop its value.

Hire a professional: Real estate agents are experts in their field and have the skills and experience to market and sell your home efficiently. They know how to stage your home to attract buyers, negotiate with potential buyers, and handle the paperwork involved in the sale.

Use effective marketing strategies: Successful home sales require effective marketing strategies that reach the right audience. Never rely on luck as it will not guarantee you success. Use different online and offline marketing techniques such as twilight photography and enticing social media posts.

Invest in repairs and upgrades: A home that’s in good condition will attract more buyers than one that needs repairs. Invest in minor repairs and upgrades that can increase your home’s value and appeal, such as repainting walls, fixing leaky faucets, and updating light fixtures.

Be patient and persistent: Selling a home is not always a quick process, so don’t rely on luck to speed things up. Be patient and persistent in your efforts to market and sell your home. Keep your home in good condition, be open to negotiations, and be flexible with your schedule for showings.
