Hello Friends,
The time of year we like to affectionately call “March Madness” has arrived….and not only in sports, but also in the local housing market. In the Triangle there are currently 6,925 houses for sale, 3,698 under contract, and 2510 houses have already sold this year. Let’s take a look at a few more stats from the latest Market Trends Report.

• New Listings in the Triangle region increased 2%
• Under Contract Sales were up 18.4%
• The Median Sales Price increased 6.1% to $275,900 (vs $260,000 this time last year)

Homeowner Maintenance Checklist
Having worked with homeowners for over 20 years now, I continue to come across sellers who want to get their homes ready for the market but are overwhelmed with the process. Life is busy with jobs, children, etc and homeowners simply wished they had paid more attention to updates and repairs over the years vs. rushing to do everything at the last minute (which is more costly). Below is a list of the items that when neglected, will negatively affect the value of a home.

1. Windows
2. Walkways
3. Driveways
4. Roof
5. Trees
6. Pest Control
7. Exterior Painting
8. Gutters
9. HVAC System
10. Landscaping
11. Appliance Repair/Replace

Feel free to check out our Homeowner Maintenance Checklist and start your own notes. And you are always welcome to call our office for the names of current, preferred vendors. We are here to assist!

Thinking of selling in 2020? Don’t wait until the Spring market - give us a call today to get started!

Until next month,
God bless from all of us at Linda Trevor & Co.
