Relocation is, without question, a complex coordination exercise. Homeowners in Las Cruces get in contact with us each week looking to sell their homes because of relocation reasons. We are in a position to help these sellers get their homes sold very quickly. In fact, we are actively buying homes in the city of Las Cruces as we speak!
There is an abundance of details that you’ll need to put together. The stress that comes with the relocation itself may already be overwhelming for you. You might have to move because of a sick family member or job promotion. Regardless, the actual transition is always paired by dramatic changes.
This begs the question – how can you go about making the best out of difficult situations like this?
Organize Instead of Agonize
You shouldn’t pay maintenance costs for a vacant home. Doing so will not be cheap. Fortunately, you don’t have to.
As stable as the market currently is, relatively speaking, things can drastically change at a moment’s notice, especially for Las Cruces homeowners. Some have told us horror stories about the scenarios they found themselves in. Chances are you are not rich enough to wait things out for the home to sell at full asking price.
How can you go about making proper choices when you are in the midst of relocation and are in a rush to get your house sold as quickly as possible?
Selling Your Home Fast – What Your Options Are, and What Steps to Take
First…
- Determine the value of your home – get in touch with a reputable realtor or contact us. We will provide you with a no-obligation, no-cost valuation for your property. After you establish what the home could sell for, you can put together a timeframe of when the house should be sold by.
- Determine when you have to get the house sold by – this is an important step. Many professionals that have relocated for job reasons have seen their properties on the housing market for as long as 12 months before they ended up selling at a price lower than expected. You need to figure out a timeframe for this transaction. You also need to calculate how long you’ll be able to afford to make mortgage payments for 2 properties (along with other associated property payment expenses, like insurance).
- Find an experienced realtor before you begin packing – try to start as early as possible so that no time is wasted. For each month that the house remains on the market, you will need to pay the costs associated with it. If you would rather not use a realtor to sell your home, consider giving us a call. Level Cash Home Offers is a reputable house buyer that will make you an offer that is more than fair in cash. Just fill out the form through this link to get started >>
- Determine the value that comes with selling your home quickly in comparison to waiting for the right buyer – every seller wants to get the most amount of money possible. Not everybody tries to determine how much money it will cost them to hang onto their homes, though. The expenses to consider include your mortgage (assuming you are currently within the initial decade of its lifespan, and that most of your payments are going to the principal and not the interest), maintenance fees, taxes, insurance, and the like. If you are interested in selling your home for about $200,000, but the mortgage payment you make each month is about $1200, your taxes are $200 each month, your insurance payments are $100 a month, and your maintenance fees are $100 a month (which cover repairs, lawn maintenance, etc.), then those costs will sum up to about $1600 a month – and that is just for “non-equity” expenses. As such, if your home sits on the market for 7 months before selling for $200,000, then you will need to pay $11,200 for “holding costs” directly, in addition to $12,000 worth of realtor fees (if the buyer and seller’s real estate agent charge 3% each). That means you will have lost $23,200 overall. This figure does not factor in the cost of your precious time, or the stress involved with watching your home sit idly on the housing market. Think about what that money could instead have been spent on during that 7-month span. That means the actual costs would likely round off to $300,000 or so. However, you do have the option of selling your home this week and bypass all of these hassles, worries, and expenses. If you were to sell your home for a reasonable discount (under retail price, perhaps $175,000), then you will still come out on top. Selling your house immediately to a property buyer at a fair discount will actually be to your advantage, in comparison to holding out for 7 months to get full price (since you need to pay agent fees and holding costs, among other expenses).
- Taking action – whatever your decision is, follow through on it. If you would prefer to you use a realtor to sell your home, there is nothing wrong with that. You are sure to find many reputable ones in the Las Cruces area. On the other hand, if you would prefer not to pay the agent commissions and don’t have the patience to wait around for the house to get sold, then consider selling the place to us.
If you have some time to spare, and a one-of-a-kind property, then test out the market and sell it at a profitable price. It is possible that somebody may want it bad enough to overpay for it.
A majority of properties are fairly average, believe it or not. They usually look like other ones surrounding it. People that live beside each other also have things in common as well. Unless you have a one-of-a-kind property, you won’t be able to bring in anything above asking price.
Your house should be marketed for sale and rent simultaneously in order to determine which of the two listings are more popular. You will need to regulate this process, as it may end up confusing a lot of people, even seasoned property brokers.
In some situations, Level Cash Home Offers partners up with homeowners to secure agreements for lease options, assuming eligible buyers have rented-out a property for a specific time before making a purchase.
In other scenarios, we might have the ability to conduct loan renegotiations, assist with monthly payments, and/or participate in a quick sale in association with the bank.
Level Cash Home Offers will go above and beyond to help people resolve complicated issues.
Creative resolutions are capable of bridging the gap in order to help you get to the place you want to be.
