Fast-Sale Tips for Your House

Seeing your house sit on the market without any bites is the ultimate frustration. And unfortunately, some sellers are in that tricky spot today.

According to data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the average time a house spends on the market has changed over the past few years .

4 Tasks That Every Smart Homeowner Does in October

The temps are starting to drop, and the smell of wood smoke is in the air. That's when veteran homeowners know it's time to do these four things if they want to avoid trouble or overspending.

#1 Clean Windows

Daylight is about to dwindle so why not get as much of it as you can? Clean off all the bugs, dust, and grime from your windows while the weather is still warm enough to comfortably do the job. For streak-free windows, combine one-quarter cup of white vinegar with one-quarter to one-half teaspoon of eco-friendly dish detergent and two cups of water.

#2 Schedule a Heating Unit Checkup

To help your family feel their toes all winter, schedule early in the month for your heating unit to be serviced. As temperatures drop, service companies get busier.

They'll clean soot and corrosion from the combustion chamber, replace filters, and check the whole system for leaks, clogs, and damage.

#3 Disconnect, Drain, and Store Outside Hoses

In October, you can get so focused on leaf cleanup and shrub trimming that you forget about your outdoor spigot and hoses. When the temperature drops below freezing, the water inside an outdoor hose can quickly freeze, and the outside spigot can even burst.

To remove the nozzle and hose, start by closing your shutoff valves to outside faucets.

#4 Insulate Exposed Pipes

If you've ever dealt with a burst pipe, you know it's a sad, wet disaster that's worth preventing. To avoid the stressful (not to mention, expensive) ordeal, prep your home's exposed pipes with foam or heat tape, choosing the one that will work best in your climate. Remember, the most at-risk pipes are often those in unheated areas such as an attics, crawl spaces, and garages, so secure those first.

Buy Now, or Wait? 

Bottom Line:

If you’re wondering if you should buy now or wait, here’s what you need to know. If you wait for rates to drop more, you’ll have to deal with more competition and higher prices as additional buyers jump back in. But if you buy now, you’d get ahead of that and have the chance to start building equity.

Should you buy now or wait? Let’s talk through it together, so you can make your best decision.
