How to Prepare for that Smaller Home when Downsizing!

What a sweet relief! Can you survive & thrive with meager square footage?

If you have too much stuff but want to sell your home and move to a smaller home with lower taxes and less upkeep you can do it!

Of course you will have to get rid of “stuff”. A small space will feel very cramped with too much “stuff”. If you conquer the clutter before you move in moving day will not be so overwhelming.

How to choose what to keep and what to pitch...

Don Aslett, author of Clutter’s Last Stand: It’s Time to De-Junk Your Life, says to give each item the same test.

“How long you’ve had it, who gave it to you, how much did it cost -- all that’s irrelevant,” says Aslett. “Just ask yourself ‘Does this enhance my life right now?”

If it hasn’t been used in two years, it’s gone. Get rid of anything you have in duplicate. If you have children who live elsewhere, tell them to pick up their things or it will be picked up by someone else...Good Will, etc. Don’t keep notorious clutter items like unfinished projects, unread books, unused paint, and cleaning products that are more than half empty.

Once you have sorted out the keepers, have a sale...yard sale, Ebay, local Penny Ads, Craigs List, etc. Take a load to the Good Will or call your local Charity group who may pick up. The more than you are able to sell or give away the less you have to pack and pay someone else to move. Be willing to accept lower offers for hard-to-sell items. There is a sweet release that comes when we downsize our things.

We have all heard the “Less is More” and it is true! There is nothing that zaps your energy like clutter in your home. And there is nothing like a tidy place to rest your head, relax and enjoy in peace.

Happy moving!

ADVANTAGES TO A RE-SALE! CONTACT US TO SEE THE RE-SALES WHEN PUTLE MOVES OUT OF PHASE 1&2

Soon the day will be here in Sun City Shadow Hills when Del Webb/Pulte will move their Sales Office out of the gates of Phase 1 & 2 over to Phase 3. At that time all sales traffic will be directed from I-10 to Monroe Exit, to 40th St and to Phase 3 main gate. Totally skirting the main gate to Phase 1 & 2. This is scheduled for November 2011.


Buyers who are looking at new homes but would like to view and consider the alternative, re-sales, can find access to Phase 1 & 2 homes on the market by staying in touch with this Active Rain connection, Bonnie & Clyde Team, or going to our web site at:

www.BonnieAndClydeRealEstate.com


We will also advertise once a week in the Desert Sun homes that are on the market and Open houses.

ADVANTAGES OF A RE-SALE!


So what are the ADVANTAGES of buying a Re-sale rather than New? They are MANY! First of all there are expenses one will immediately incurr with a new home that a re-sale may already have in place such as:

Ceiling fans

Window coverings

Upgraded lighting fixtures

Beautiful built-ins

Custom paint

Custom walls, fireplace surrounds

Landscaped backyard

Extended patios

Patio covers

Front courtyard

Storage in the garage

Custom closests

Healthy mature plants

Outdoor water features

Perhaps all the appliances

Some may even negotiate furniture for pennies on the dollar

And a One Year Home Warranty can be negotiated in the purchase

And the list goes on...


If you are financing this home ALL those things (other than furniture) are included in the financing! If you buy new and add all these upgrades you can pay $20,000 and UP on top of your original down payment investment. Some of these home owners have added upgrades up to a hundred thousand and some more to their original investment.


Another benefit is the quirks in the home have been worked out already for you. And it doesn’t matter how well built homes are - and these are - there will always be things that need to be attended to.


The re-sales we have here in Sun City Shadow Hills are impeccable! Think about it! Contact us to see the best!
