Buying and selling a property can be frustrating at times, especially if you are doing it for the first time. There are many factors that affect the value of an asset. In one of our previous blogs, we shared some great tips for first-time real estate agents but in this section, we’ll discuss how you can best assemble your home to sell it. HOW TO MEASURE PRICE OF YOUR HOME TO SELL From job relocation to a noisy neighborhood to immigration- there are many reasons why people change their homes. Sometimes, changing homes may require you to sell your property and that process can be difficult. Please remember that there is no clear timeline for selling a house. It can take longer than expected because, at the end of the day, you want the best price for your property. While there are a few things you can do if your house is not for sale, problems can continue. In that case, the first thing you need to do is check your house price. The longer your home stays in the market, the lower its chances of selling at the price you want. But there are a few things that can help you balance your home so that you can sell it. Consider recently sold properties with similar attributes Check whether it is a Buyers’ market or Sellers’ market Ask your supervisor Check the water Now let’s take a closer look at all these points that will help determine the selling price of a home. CONSIDER THE RECENT GOODS SOLD Similar or comparable properties are similar in size, shape, attributes and neighborhoods. For example, a 10 m house in DHA Lahore will not have the same price as a 10 marla house on Bahria Town Rawalpindi. One needs to do research on homes that have recently been sold in their area or neighborhood to get a negative view of the asking price and the selling price of similar homes. The survey will only give you an idea of ??the average price of real estate for sale but you will have to determine the value of your home based on the condition, renovation, demolition and other factors involved in pricing. Make sure the price is not too high from the standard price range and it makes sense to attract buyers. CHECK IF THE MARKET LOVES BUYERS OR SELLERS You will know that it is the seller's market if there is a shortage of houses or the buyers have the power to buy a house. In this case, retailers have the advantage of asking for a better price because the chances of making a profit are much higher. In the consumer market, there is a surplus of real estate in the market and the number of buyers is low. It is also possible that there is not enough power for consumers and investors to spend money that could lead to a consumer market. The price of the house will obviously vary in both cases and the seller should take into account this factor when determining the price. ASK YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT If you are selling a house for the first time, you may not be able to determine the price as accurately as a professional seller can do. It is always best to hire a professional like ADVICE ASSOCIATES to help you sell the house because of their customers and sales experience. The realtor has a better understanding of the market than the average person and knows the current trends, which is why they can raise the right price. Although hiring a specialist will be an additional expense, it will definitely be worth it. CHECK THE WATER It is always best to ask for a higher price so that there is enough room for conversation. Some sellers keep a low price because they want to sell their house immediately and do not want to negotiate with the buyer. Some may keep the price low to attract more buyers and sell it to the highest bidder. If you are serious about selling a house, you should put a “sell” sign outside and check the water. Customer feedback is one of the best indicators to check whether you have set the price correctly or not. An unsuitable house can be someone else's dream home and they will be very interested if the price is attractive. These are some essential tips and tricks to sell your house on Right Price.

Apart from this, the project will have schools, shopping malls and a hospital. Upgrades are completed in Sectors I, F, D, and V and the availability is also available here. 5 marla plots sizes are only available on Sectors AA1, and AA2 but as this has not yet been developed, acquisition will take approximately 2 to 3 years.

The Punjab Provincial Department of Education has launched a program to develop more than 8,000 schools in the province in terms of structure as well as their status. The initiative will also create job opportunities for people who pursue their careers in the education sector. According to Punjab Education Minister Murad Raas, the government has taken the initiative to rehabilitate existing schools because of a dramatic reduction in the number of primary school graduates. The minister added that after conducting an afternoon school inspection program, there was an increase in the number of students, most of whom were girls.

If you are about to enter the stock market with one of your initial investments, you may be concerned about making common investment mistakes that can cost you your time, energy, and money. Do not be afraid! While there are a number of rules for investing in real estate that can ensure that you do not go too far, we will also write down the most common mistakes that any investor can end up making quickly to hit gold. Common Real Estate Investment Mistakes Some common architectural mistakes made by investors are: Not pre-planning Not enough market research Hiring the wrong people for help Intended for temporary recovery Spending more than your worth Not planning for unexpected expenses Lack of support system Now, let's talk in detail about these investment mistakes and how you can avoid them during your investment. Not Pre-Planning Not having a plan in mind is one of the top investment mistakes you should avoid, and the solution is to make a plan before you start investing in the real estate market. Investment is usually a costly endeavor and no matter how good the effort is, you need to think carefully about your decisions and decide what is best for you in the long run. When buying a home for the first time, you need to consider a number of factors, including the price of the property, your needs, future maintenance costs, growth potential, and more. Therefore, do not rush to make a decision. Always plan ahead to avoid one of the most common Real Estate Investment Mistakes. Not Enough Market Research Buying and selling goods requires a ton of research. It's not just about where you can buy the site or what is the closest thing to where you work. It is about knowing what kind of house you can build on that building based on regional design permits and who your neighbors might be in a particular community. Research is also needed to make all financial decisions related to real estate investments, including medium-term prices in a particular area, the need for local rental properties, and more. Lack of research, therefore, is one of the most important investment mistakes that should be avoided by all amateur investors. Hiring the Wrong People for help: From a real estate agent who has been hired to help you get a contract from the construction workers who will be working in your area; you need to hire the right people to get the best results. Therefore, you need to get referrals from people you trust and make sure you do a little background check to determine if you are hiring the right professionals for every job. Intended for Short Time Returns One of the biggest mistakes local investors make is that they enter the market unsure of their return or how soon they want to return to their investment. Both of these cases can lead to any confusion, frustration, and financial loss. Therefore, expecting quick and short-term gains is an investment that you should avoid if you are in it to make it bigger. Real estate is, in general, a well-paying industry over time and many experienced investors will tell you that you have invested in a development that will reap profits over the years rather than in a fast-paced capture and moving system that may not be profitable. The most common reason why real estate investments are often done for a long time is that real estate investment is not a liquid saving that can be converted into cash by a second notice. You will definitely lose money under such circumstances, which is why you should always consider the long-term benefits and strengths of the assets before considering your investment portfolio. Spending more than your Worth If you do well in your market research, you will always be hesitant to pay more than what the goods say under any circumstances. However, what if you have missed a major house fault or an insect attack that will cost you extra money to repair before you return the house to market? Under such circumstances, you may end up spending more than you can afford, especially if you spend almost all of your budget on the initial purchase. Not planning for unexpected expenses On the other hand, if you plan to rent a property, make sure that the property is unoccupied for a very long time. Employee employment becomes a pile of money that requires money in the end to keep it cared for but does not bring in income on return. In addition, be careful when trying to find a suitable employer for your area. Ask specific questions to your tenants so that you know you are renting a home to the right person, who will not only pay you on time but will also keep the property in its current condition, rather than adding to your costs in such a way that additional repairs. Lack of Support System This mistake of planting houses and land is very similar to the one above. You should not spend more than you cost when investing in real estate, but while making your financial plans to invest, it is best to set a higher limit and set aside the maximum amount for your emergency savings and sudden expenses. These costs can be personal, medical, or in the form of emergency or emergency repairs. Coming up with Plan A is good, but remember, there are 25 more characters left. So, have a plan B always! All right. Even if you have only invested your savings in real estate, make sure you not only diversify your portfolio by adding a list of properties and types of properties to it but also preparing for the worst. What if you can't sell your property for a long time? Will you sign up for rent? What if you can't find an employer anytime soon? Do you have friends or family who can help you or spread the word around? Plan everything, including what if your investment dreams fall apart?

When you are looking to sell your house, you must think of the ways its value can be maximised, so you can get the most of what you’ve invested in the first place. While the value of any property is based on a number of factors such as its location, size, ratio of covered to uncovered, etc, there are more factors that can surely usher in higher value and are well within your reach. These factors are the ones that you can control and improve to sell your home at the highest price, as the time for selling your house comes near. This blog has all the details on how to sell your home at the highest price. Let’s begin by reviewing each factor. SELL YOUR HOME AT HIGHEST PRICE: IMPROVE ON THE LOOKS If you really want to sell your home at the highest price, the first thing you need to do is to invest in the looks. You need to think about the next person who will make your house their home, and offer them the best opportunity to do so. Let’s see how this can be done. REPAINT YOUR HOUSE Start by repainting your house. These are the signs you need to look for to know your house is demanding to be repainted. Studies have shown that repainting significantly increases the value of a house, so this is the first thing you need to do. Do your research on the top trending paint colors and get to it! It’s best to stick to neutrals for the interiors, and a bit warmer for exteriors. For interiors, ash wite is always a good neutral option. If the next owner wants to change the color, they’ll be easily able to do so in lighter tones. Before repainting, start with filling any nail holes, and address the seepage problems. Also, get your windows cleaned, and doors polished, and look at any gaps that exist in your window panes. These small repairs, if checked before repainting, will give your house a smooth finish. RENOVATE YOUR FLOORS Improving your home flooring will significantly increase the value of your home. For the flooring, there are many options to choose from. Choose one that is neither too expensive nor too cheap, and gives a matte finish. For the flooring too, stick with a neutral tone. Lighter tones make a house seem more open and spacious. Also, with lighter tones, there are various ways one can style their home. Choose marble flooring over wooden flooring, always! While wooden flooring looks much more beautiful, it is expensive and has to be maintained regularly. It also limits one’s options about the decor. ADD OPTIONS FOR BETTER SPACE UTILIZATION An open store is no good anymore, install cupboards or racks so space can be used efficiently. A pantry, dirty kitchen, and laundry area is a must on the ground floor, provided you have space. Create a laundry area, and if you can, install an automatic washing machine as well. Such designated spaces allow the buyers to know exactly what needs to go where and gives a starting point for what needs to go where. INVEST IN FURNISHINGS Small furnishings go a long way! Whether you want to live in a particular house, or sell it off, it’s nice to have window blinds. These can be floral or of a neutral color. Pick a shade that works well with your kitchen cabinets so the next person who moves it, doesn’t have to worry about finding new ones. Work on window shades, especially on your first floor. This adds to the value of the house as it serves as a shield against monsoon rains. Also, install a thick-glass door at your terrace entrance, along with a thick steel door. Your windows should have a movable grill that can also be locked. These are all safety features as well serve as protection against drastic weather changes. In your dining room, having a showcase for crockery also brings in more money. These really small changes are what the home buyers are looking for these days and will surely help you out as well if you are looking to sell your house at a higher price. If you are confident in your taste preferences, you can also get new curtains, and factor the price of this in the total cost. Anything that looks good, sells for a much higher price! Always remember this. In some cases, if your electronics, like air conditioners or kitchen appliances are relatively new, you can also leave them behind. Some people love to take on as much as they can from a newly-bought house. INSULATION Home insulation is all the rage these days. It allows for effective heating and cooling and saves on energy costs. This is a huge undertaking, and so any house that comes with it will be greatly desired and sold for a higher price! LANDSCAPING Present your outdoors in the best possible way with these easy landscaping tips. The size of your lawn doesn’t matter, what matters is how it looks. Make the best use of space. In most housing societies it is against the bylaws to have the lawn tiled, so avoid that at all costs. Hire a landscaping professional and plant flowers that are in season. If you have a bigger space, that’s all you need to let your creativity with natural beauty flow! For a smaller lawn, you can get more potted plants. There is a wide variety of pots now available at all local nurseries. The vertical frame of pots makes the best use of space. Get a small hedge for your outdoor lawn or use pebbles or bricks to construct a small boundary or install a white picket fence. Get some potted plants for your garage area and the colors run through.
