Buying a new house in the Sarasota/Manatee area is an exciting event, perhaps allowing you to live in the home of your dreams. As you make plans to move in, you may also be considering ways to create a stunning interior for your new living space. Florida interiors capitalize on the fresh breezes, warm climate and many days of sunshine.
Whether you are looking to buy, sell or invest in real estate, it is important to understand market conditions. Real estate is hyper-local, with market dynamics changing from subdivision to subdivision. However, county trends generally give you a good idea of what to expect.
When many Florida homeowners think about staging their home before listing it for sale, they think about property maintenance and décor. For example, if a dingy wall is an eyesore in the home, their staging efforts may involve repainting the wall a neutral color. Small decorative pieces, such as a few new wall hangings and throw pillows, may be placed strategically. While these and other steps each serve important purposes, depersonalizing your space also requires your full attention.
Many people think selling your home during the holidays or winter is not a good idea. This could not be further from the truth this year. Historically, it is true that the spring market is a better time to sell a house in most markets. However, this holiday season is different.
The local market for condos and townhomes is continuing its shift in the Pandemic. When compared to last year at this time, the market favors sellers across all price points in both Sarasota and Manatee counties.
