Do Trees = $

Do Trees = $$ ??



The following question was posed to SellingHomesByDesign:

Thought it was indeed very interesting! PLZ offer your opinion on this !!

"If you had two houses, identical in size, location, etc. but one had a marvelous tree on the property and the other didn't, would the list price be essentially the same? What if the house were in a heavily treed community vs. one that is in a cleared fieldlike community?"

This article from Realty Times says YES, Trees DO add value!!

THNX for your view on this subject!

K.I.S.S. - Common Sense Tips for Buyers and Sellers!

K.I.S.S.!! Let's keep it super simple!!

Considering jumping into the Real Estate Market ??
Here are a couple of common sense tips - no matter what side of the fence you're on (buyer or seller):

Remember to Keep your Buying or Selling Strategy Simple: It's easy to get overwhelmed with details. Get familiar first with readily available information on the internet. Next, consult with an agent to determine what's really imporant to you and let them help set a strategy with timelines.

SELLER'S TIP: At higher price points it's more critical than ever to get your home proactively appraised. In addition to getting an agent's opinion on what your home may net you based on comparable properties, for around $400 a professional appraiser is a sound "second opinion". Please feel free to ask me for a recommendation to see what your home's true worth is in today's market.

BUYER'S TIP: Getting preapproved for a mortgage is the most important step in preparing to buy your next home. Knowing what's comfortable to afford upfront will help you figure out what's realistic to be looking at. And don't forget to budget for added expenses like paint, new furniture, updates...and those family vacations!
