Up the Ante in the Real Estate Market with New Entry Doors

A home is considered a major investment. But since the financial meltdown of the housing market in mid-2007 and the economic depression that followed in 2008, the real estate business has yet to completely recover.

But it looks like things are changing for the better with reports that things are bouncing back; the latest statistics show that sales of new homes reportedly increased, according to this update from the Albuquerque Journal:

Sales of U.S. new homes recovered in April after slumping in the previous two months. But Americans are still buying new homes at a slower pace than they did a year ago.

The Commerce Department said Friday that sales of new homes rose 6.4 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 433,000. That compares with an upwardly revised annual pace of 407,000 in March, when purchases fell 6.9 percent. Buying had dropped 4.4 percent in February, in part because of winter snowstorms.

While this is a welcome development, the Realtors Association of New Mexico noted that the median prices of new houses still dropped: the going rate in March was $169,000, down from $171,500 a year earlier. This scenario presents a hint for you to find ways to entice potential buyers. How can you confidently command the best price for your property? Consider investing in smart home improvements.

By enhancing your home’s curb appeal, you can increase your home’s retail value and at the same time hook the interest of prospective buyers. In the tough real estate market of Tucson and Albuquerque, competition can be demanding so you really need to make a good impression.

Up against new homes sporting modern styles, you should find a way to at least level the playing field.
