Q&A
Shalini Sawhney, associate broker and top performer at Burns & Ellis in Dover, keeps her finger firmly on the pulse of real estate in central Delaware. Here are some of her observations on what sells homes—and how would-be buyers can win their dream home.
I want to buy a home, but the market is still very competitive. How can I increase the odds the seller will choose me?
Start with your best offer and show you are serious with more earnest money. Consider an escalation clause, in which your bids go up automatically based on the offers of competing would-be buyers. If competition is especially fierce, think about waiving contingencies such as home inspections. And be flexible with the settlement date.
Q&A
At Compass in Greenville, Stephen Mottola and his team guide buyers and sellers through their options in a market where there are more would-be buyers than there are available homes. The Mottola Group is ranked first in Delaware by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends Report.
Should I put money into my home before I sell it? If so, where should I spend my dollars?
There’s always value to be added to a home. Maximize [that] value with light cosmetic updates, which can return close to double your investment. Consider painting older kitchen cabinets, updating appliances and countertops, and swapping faucets and fixtures in bathrooms for more current styles.
Q&A
The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group in Lewes has ranked first in real estate sales in Sussex County for more than 20 years. Here are her insights on the market at the beach, where there’s a wave of buyers.
I’m concerned about higher mortgage interest rates. Do you have advice for me?
I don’t have a crystal ball, but I’m expecting rates will come down to the low 6% range by the end of the year. My advice is if you find a home you want to buy, don’t wait. You can always refinance. Prices at the beach are not going down because of interest rates. In fact, we are still seeing the average sale price going up.
