Headlines Boost Prospects for Selling Your Home

If you’re thinking of selling your Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale, you’re likely to have already considered different approaches to making it stand out from other properties. Will you repaint in the entryway? Stage the living spaces? Should you upgrade the appliances — or leave them as is to keep the asking price as low as possible?

Those are all pivotal decisions, and I would be delighted to offer advice on how each is likely to affect the sales effort. But there is also a less prominent element you may not have considered: the impact the text of your advertising will have on your marketing and – potentially – the overall results. The regimented way listings are presented tend to impart them with a similarity that may not be warranted. Overcoming that effect can make your message draw attention…and prospects.

According to real estate conversion content specialist Karen Hutton, next to the main photograph, the headline is everything. Hutton’s territory is Queensland, Australia, which goes to show how universal marketing truths are. Says Hutton of the headline tactic, “It must arouse curiosity, use meaningful specifics…and be intriguing.”

Clearwater Beach is rated as one of the best beaches in the USA every year. It has beautiful with sandy beaches, Pier 60 for fishing and sunset entertainment, and many great restaurants.

Clearwater Beach is a small welcoming beach town where many families choose to vacation each year. As a matter of fact, that is where my family vacationed each summer, and I was determined to live here when I grew up. Well, we moved here over 20-years ago and just love the area.

You will love the many boats that are available at the Clearwater Beach Marina. It has great fishing charter boats, sailing charter boats, sight-seeing boats, dinner cruises, dolphin tours, parasailing, and personal watercraft. There are restaurants, a gift shop, a barber shop, a nautical shop, a laundry, a mini-mart, a post office, and even a bait house. If you visit by boat, there are 23-boat slips available for transient boaters with vessels up to 125-feet.

There are several fun activities at the Clearwater Beach Marine Aquarium:

The Sea Life Safari Boat Tour a great 90-minute tour into the local intracoastal waters. We are looking for dolphins, sea birds, manatee on this narrated scenic ride to a shell island. They demonstrate how sea data is collected with a pull and then pass around sea critters before releasing them back to the bay. This is a great hands-on-activity.

You can get wet and wade with the aquarium dolphins. You get up close to an Atlantic Bottlenose dolphin and get your picture taken with the dolphin.

In the dolphin encounter, you will get wet. A 30-minute program working side by side with the staff while they train and feed a dolphin. The trainer also provides great info on the anatomy, intelligence and beauty of the dolphin. You will get a photo and t-shirt with this experience.

National Mortgage Rates Up — But Purchases Are Still Climbing

 
For Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale shoppers, it looks like the end for deeply depressed mortgage rates. Nationally, rising rates have temporarily created a downdraft in home loan applications.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, mortgage applications fell 4% in the first week of July after plummeting 11.7% the week before. ‘The Market Composite Index’ is the measure of mortgage loan application volume — and it decreased 4.0% from a week earlier (on a seasonally adjusted basis). Altogether, national mortgage applications so far this July are about a third below their level of a year ago.

The drop in applications comes as no surprise to those of us who keep a steady watch on mortgage rate trends. But there is one accompanying fact that wouldn’t have been as predictable. As USA Today notes, “Despite the rise in rates…the four-year average for home purchases continues to climb since it turned upward in November 2011.”

So what do these apparently contradictory stats mean for Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale shoppers preparing to sell or buy?

Whichever part of the equation you fall into, it’s certainly time to get moving and either buy or sell your Clearwater Beach Condo. If you’re considering selling, you will want to put your Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale on the market to take advantage of the still historically low mortgage rates in Clearwater Beach. It’s often the case that rising mortgage rates spur a last-minute home-buying rush. If you’re planning on buying a Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale, then rising mortgage rates are a pretty good indication that it’s time to put the pedal to the metal.

Either way, if you’re thinking of buying or selling in Clearwater Beach, I’m standing by to lend a hand. Give me a call to discuss the full picture — including the latest price movement in area neighborhoods.

Buying a Property in Today’s Exciting Clearwater Beach Market

Buying Clearwater Beach Real Estate means you’ll be joining the club: the home ownership club that Americans have traditionally recognized as emblematic of the fullest community membership. It’s an exciting endeavor — one that ushers in a whole new realm of pride, maturity…and of a truly major commitment.

It’s the show of responsibility that’s the reason Clearwater Beach home ownership bestows automatic respect from the community. It is, after all, unmistakable evidence of long-term stability, as well as commitment to deal with the future with all it holds — known and unknown. That commitment is something all Clearwater Beach Real Estate homeowners share.

Today, buying a Clearwater Beach home means entering a changing market. Still-historically low interest rates continue, but now they have started to rise. Broader lending prospects are improving along with that rise (which is the good news). But especially for first-time buyers, it should also mean that it is doubly important to think of the long term, and to let caution and prudence lead to a buying decision that will prove to be the right choice for the future.

What that means when buying a Clearwater Beach home, especially when taking advantage of an attractive adjustable interest rate (ARM) loan, is to plan for the likelihood that monthly repayments will eventually increase. Before taking advantage of a great deal, consider whether you will be able to manage monthly repayments if they jump by 1, 2 — even 3%. Although it’s only natural to expect that your family income will grow as time passes and professional experience broadens, cautious buyers keep their budget in line with actual current finances. And they make hard-headed estimates of the upkeep expenses that accompany home ownership.

If the past seven years have taught anything about buying a Clearwater Beach home, it’s the advantage of tempering optimism with realism. I’m here to help my clients make educated Clearwater Beach Real Estate decisions for the short term and long term. If you’ve been preparing to make a Clearwater Beach purchase, I hope you will give me a call to meet and discuss your goals and the current market – I’d love to hear from you!

Preparing Your Clearwater Beach Condo for a Virtual Tour

 
Putting your Clearwater Beach Condo For Sale on the market makes you a key player in a marketing team led by your real estate agent. But you don’t have to attend seminars on salesmanship or study the latest marketing best seller to make valuable contributions to your team: heeding a few guiding principals will take care of that.

One of the most valuable is simply this: great marketers know they should appeal to the widest market possible especially when you cannot put a sign in the front yard. Today, we can attract a much wider market than ever before — from across the nation to (amazingly enough) buyers around the globe! It’s due to an increasingly popular tool: the virtual tour on the Web.

Because a standout virtual tour doesn’t just happen by itself, here are some fundamentals for preparing the most effective Clearwater Beach Condo For Sale virtual tour:

- Disorderly rooms as viewed through any old webcam don’t make the grade. Remember that details you see as assets may be perceived as clutter when viewed through the camera’s lens. This can include personal pictures, books, ornaments and toys. When your home is free from clutter, potential buyers can much more easily picture themselves living in it.

- Make sure your furniture is placed to communicate the appearance of spacious, open areas. This may means being willing to move furniture — even pieces that actually look great in person — away from the middle of the room.

- Since taste is an individual matter, it is hard to present a color scheme that appeals to everyone who views your Clearwater Beach Condo For Sale virtual tour. The most universal rule of thumb is to stick to neutral color combinations. While you may love a vibrant blue wall, others may see it as an unwelcome chore — on extra thing they will have to change were they to purchase your home. In contrast, neutral colors can present a blank canvass.

Getting your virtual tour right means showing a pleasing series of comprehensive views that are neat and minimally but attractively furnished. Looking for a Clearwater Beach agent with the right tools to help you sell for top dollar?

I think you will find I am the right choice when you watch and listen to our client testimonial videos at this link:

The Search for the Perfect Clearwater Beach Real Estate Agent

 
No matter what triggers your decision to sell, a crucial next step for every homeowner is selecting the Clearwater Beach homes for sale agent who will bring in the best results. If you don’t already have a bead on an agent, there are any number of factors that can help guide your agent choice. Some will be narrowly applicable to your home’s special characteristics, and some will be more universal.

The first consideration should be deciding whether you will be best served by finding a specialist. Perhaps your property cleanly falls into the luxury category, then your first move may be to seek a Clearwater Beach homes for sale agent who has a marketing plan for your luxury property. Know that we are with Sotheby’s International Realty and that means you get the very best marketing plan available in the world-wide real estate market. We promote your property to more websites than any other company, we advertise your property in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, we market heavily for buyers and have a large database of buyers looking for properties in the area, and we have over 450-offices world-wide with 12,000 agents showing your property pictures and descriptions to their buyers.

Another approach is to consider what other’s have to say about their Clearwater Beach homes for sale agent. It isn’t always what the agent says about himself of herself that matters; it matters what their clients say about their agent. While many agents have a few written and unsigned reviews, the most dependable way to get a candid and unbiased opinion of an agent is to see client video testimonials from our clients.

In any case, before settling on the Clearwater Beach real estate agent who will be your marketing partner, select someone who will focus attention on your property and not be so busy with 15, 25 or even 100 other listings that your property doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

This is a great time to sell your Clearwater Beach Real Estate, and we promise to focus our attention and vast marketing resources on selling your property for top dollar. If you are preparing to bring your home to market, we always offer you a no-obligation in-home consultation — and always put the strength of our vast Sotheby‘s worldwide network to work for you.

Easing the Move to a New Home in Clearwater Beach

 The Census Bureau tells us that 43 million people move households each year. That definitely makes it a Big Business opportunity! You would think that huge commercial empires would have sprung up to take care of every tiny detail for moves to Clearwater Beach Real Estate (for a price), but in truth, those companies generally serve a minority of corporate clients. For most of us, we can plan on being pretty much on our own.

If you are going to be moving to Clearwater Beach Real Estate (or know someone who is), there are a few things you can do to make the move a little easier.

Before you move to your new home, make sure you get ahead of the curve: reserve some advance time getting everything organized. In the process of packing, you’ll work more efficiently if you have more than enough boxes and trash bins at the ready. By having ample storage containers available, you can pack your belongings slowly and in an organized manner.

If you have young children, arrange childcare well in advance of the move. Unless your children are older and able to help, your suspicion that they are not wholly compatible with the moving process will prove to be correct.

Inform your utility providers well in advance of your move. The few minutes spent could give them the option of a smooth transfer of services to your new property — sometimes even avoiding restart service fees.

Let your bank know that you are moving your residence. This will reduce the risk of your sensitive banking info ending up lost in the mail (or in the wrong hands). It also makes it much less likely that your bank will block your account for suspicious activity when you first begin using your cards once you move into your Clearwater Beach Real Estate.

A new Clearwater Beach Real Estate home will be an exciting beginning – so if you’ve already found that home, congrats! If you’re just getting the search started, or are preparing to sell before you find your next, contact me this week to go over your options.

Call me at 727-710-8036 or email me at jackhaydon@gmail.com to discuss properties for sale at the beach, or to receive a free home evaluation for your current property.
