As a Casper WY Real Estate agent, I know one of the hardest parts of selling your home is determining the selling price.  Sellers will oftentimes have put a lot of time, energy and money into their homes and find it hard to separate themselves from the personal attachment they feel towards their Casper WY home.

While it can be challenging to put your ideal selling price to the side, the best thing you can do when it comes to selling your home in Casper WY is to remain objective.  It’s also helpful to find an experienced Casper WY Real Estate agent as soon as possible as they will provide you with a good understanding of the current real estate market and what you can expect from the entire home selling process.

I thought it would be helpful today to give a few tips on pricing your home correctly from the beginning!  Trying to play the market and “just see” what happens with a higher list price can be detrimental, while pricing your home below the market value can mean you’re not getting the full value for your Casper WY home.  Take a look at how to balance these two extremes!

1. Study past sales- While this will take a little work, getting to know what other homes in Casper WY have recently sold for will be helpful in giving you appropriate expectations.  Your Casper WY Real Estate agent can also provide you with this list and can explain more about the current market value.

2. Do not confuse active listings with past sales- For those who are new to selling a home, this is key.  The active listings in the Casper WY area don’t reflect what the actual selling price for the home.  While these homes are your competition, they shouldn’t be the determining factor on the price point for your home. 

3. Do not overprice because you have the time- This can be one of the biggest mistakes sellers can make.  They reason that, since they’re not in any hurry to sell, their Casper WY home can sit on the market.  The reality?  This can have the opposite effect on your home.  The longer your home sits on the market, the harder it is to sell.  Buyers will assume there’s something wrong with your home, or may not even bother looking at your home if it’s overpriced. 

4. Leave some room for negotiation, but don't overreach- You never want to feel like you’re giving your home away, but you will want to leave some room for both parties to negotiate.   

5. Think like a buyer- You’ll want to talk with your Casper WY Real Estate agent about current buyer trends.  What are the top things they’re looking for in a home?  What type of flooring or finishes are desirable?  If you’ve been out of the market for some time, chances are things have changed since you last bought a home.  Getting to know what buyers are looking for will help you evaluate your home, help you consider any updates you’d like to make, and allow you to price your home accordingly.

6. React swiftly and decisively- Being proactive with the price of your home is key.  You want to remain on top of what buyers are saying during the showing of your home and how the market is moving.  Your Casper WY Real Estate agent will guide you with this information, and you’ll want to be prepared to respond quickly in order to keep buyers interested in your home.  Don’t delay the inevitable!

Armed with these tips and a trusted Casper WY Real Estate agent, you should find that pricing your home correctly from the beginning will give you the greatest success for the sale of your home in Casper!

If you have further questions about selling your Casper home or are still looking for a Casper WY Real Estate agent; please contact me today!  I would be happy to talk with you and help you successfully reach your home selling goals!

As we embark on May, you may be dreaming of warmer weather and spending time outdoors in Casper WY!  It’s been a long winter, but with the first signs of spring with warming temperatures and longer days, we’re all anxiously awaiting the opportunity to gather with family and friends over picnics, barbecues and other fun outdoor events.

In working as a Casper WY Real Estate agent, I not only enjoy helping buyers and sellers navigate through the Casper WY Real Estate market, but want to provide a holistic approach to what I do!  Part of this entails giving home tips for those that own a home in Casper.  While finding and buying the home that fits you is important, it’s also just as important to really enjoy and care for your Casper home!

Today, I wanted to give a few tips for getting your Casper WY yard ready for the summer season!  Spending large amounts of time outdoors is just around the corner, so you’ll want to prepare now to take advantage of all that the warm weather season has to offer! 

Take a look at these simple tips for beautifying your outdoor space for your Casper WY home.

1. Survey the Yard- Make note of tree limbs that should be removed. Rake mulch from beds planted with bulbs before foliage appears, and refresh mulch in other planting areas after soil warms. Check fences, steps, and pathways for disrepair caused by freezing and thawing.

2. Order Tools and Plants- Take note of tools that are missing or broken, and order tools for the new growing season. Choose new plants for the garden and order perennials, trees, and shrubs for spring planting.

3. Get Ready to Mow- Send the mower or leaf blower in for repair if needed. Refill the mower with oil and make sure all parts are in working order. Clear the lawn of winter debris, and look for areas that need reseeding before mowing.

4. Prune Trees and Shrubs- Remove dead, damaged, and diseased branches from woody plants. Prune cold-damaged wood after plants resume spring growth. Prune spring-blooming shrubs and trees after flowering.

5. Take a Soil Test- Check soil pH with a home soil- test kit, taking several samples from different planting areas for an accurate reading. Enrich soil as necessary.

6. Prepare New Beds- Clear the planting area as soon as soil can be worked, removing sod or weeds and debris. Spread a 4-inch layer of compost or well-rotted manure and any amendments over soil, and cultivate it to a depth of 10 to 12 inches with a spading fork.

7. Plant- Plant bare-root trees, shrubs, and perennials such as hostas and daylilies by early spring. Transplant container-grown plants anytime during the growing season except midsummer; be sure to water them thoroughly. Sow seeds of cool-season flowers like sweet peas, poppies, and calendula, and vegetables such as lettuce, parsley, and spinach.

8. Fertilize- Apply balanced fertilizer or other soil amendments recommended by soil-test results around trees and shrubs when new growth appears. Begin fertilizing perennials when active growth resumes.

9. Start a Compost Pile- Begin by collecting plant debris and leaves raked up from the garden. Chop these up first to speed decomposition. Turn regularly. Continue adding to the pile throughout the season for rich, homemade compost next spring.

10. Clean Bird Feeders and Baths- Disinfect the feeders and bird baths by scrubbing with weak bleach solution (1/4 cup bleach: 2 gallons warm water). Rinse and dry before refilling them. Clean birdbaths and feeders regularly throughout the season and change birdbath water once a week. 

Having your yard looking fresh and beautiful will allow you to enjoy your summer in Casper WY even more!

The Casper Real Estate market has been buzzing with activity this spring, and as a Casper Real Estate agent; it’s exciting to see buyers and sellers jumping into the market!  

A recent report on real estate site, Trulia, noted that the average listing price for Casper homes for sale was $317,362 this past week ending on April 17th.  This shows a slight increase from March of this year, and it looks like home prices will continue to show a steady incline. 

NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun noted in a recent report that he sees a strong housing market nationally. "Job growth in the improving economy and pent-up demand are causing both home sales and rental leasing to rise. Though home prices are rising much faster than rents, historically low mortgage rates are still making home purchases affordable," he said. "The only headwinds are limited housing inventory, which varies greatly around the country, and credit conditions that remain too restrictive."

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell a home in Casper this spring, entering the real estate market will take careful consideration.  Here are a few tips to keep in mind whether you’re hoping to find your dream home in Casper or hope to get your home sold this spring.  Take a look!

Buyers

1. Think Long-Term- When buying a home in today’s market, you want to plan for the future. Consider your basic needs such as security, proximity to your job and other daily activities, the school system and room to grow if need be. You want to plan to be in a home for a minimum of three to five years.

2. Be Prepared to Make an Offer- Before you even begin searching for your Casper WY home, you’ll want to get pre-approved for a loan. This not only helps you determine your home buying budget, but will make the process run much more quickly once you’re ready to make an offer. This will also force you to get your credit in order and gives you the opportunity to correct any credit issues before entering the Casper WY Real Estate market.  

3. Live Within Your Means- This is a lesson that our country seems to be learning collectively. We’ve seen the damage that can come from buying homes we can’t afford and digging ourselves further into debt. Buying a Casper WY home that fits your budget as it stands now will give the home a chance to appreciate. In the long run, your finances will be healthier and you’ll more than likely be able to afford your dream home next time around.

Sellers

1. Price Your Home Correctly from the Beginning- This is a vital factor in selling your Casper WY home. If you enter the market with an overpriced home, buyers will immediately cross it off their list and move on to a more affordable option. They have that luxury in a buyers market. The longer your Casper WY home sits on the market; the less interest it will receive. You’ll find that waiting for that to happen and then reducing your price will not generate the same excitement that a ideally priced home would in the beginning.

2. Make Your Home Irresistible- Buyers expect only the best, especially if they have the option to be picky. You’ll want to make sure your home shows like a model home and that its irresistible to buyers. Take care of any issues that you know of in your home, spend time updating your home (even if it’s just a fresh coat of paint), and spruce up your Casper home’s curb appeal. All of these little details will add up to a home that buyers can’t refuse!

3. Make Sure Your Home is Getting Ultimate Exposure- The main element in getting your home sold and for the highest price possible is exposure. Did you know that over 80% of people search for homes online? Getting online exposure for your home is vital for home selling success. Talk with your Casper WY Real Estate agent about how your home will be presented online and the types of sites they use to market your home. A strong online presence for your home is a service your real estate agent should be providing for you.

Buyers and Sellers

*Find a Recommended Casper Real Estate Agent- Having the right agent journey with you through the home buying or selling process will make all the difference. Conduct research online or talk with family and friends to get their recommendations. Many Casper WY Real Estate agents have testimonials on their websites that will give you a good indication of other buyer’s and seller’s experience with that agent. You’ll want to find an agent who has experience in the Casper WY Real Estate market and with whom you feel you can work with for however long it takes for you to find your Casper WY home. 

As always, if you have questions about buying or selling a home in Casper, please feel free to contact me!  I would love to talk with you about your real estate needs and help guide you throughout the Casper WY Real Estate market.

If you’ve been considering buying a Casper WY home this spring, you’ve come to the right place!  As a Casper WY Real Estate agent for a number of years, I thrive on providing clients with up to date market information, as well as home buying advice. 

My goal is to walk with clients through each step of the home buying experience from finding the right home to getting the keys and moving in to their home in Casper!

Oftentimes, buyers will wait until the spring market when more homes come on the market and sellers seem more eager to get their home sold.  If you are hoping to move into your new home just in time to enjoy summer in Casper WY, here are a few tips that will help you streamline the home buying process.

1.  Start Your Search Online- Instead of spending your time searching for open houses or for sale signs, get online to streamline your search.  There are many great homes in Casper WY which you can view online.

2.  Get Pre-Approved- Finding the home of your dreams and then shopping for a loan is a risky move, as most home sellers won’t even look at an offer that’s not accompanied by a pre-approval letter.  Getting pre-approved ensures you know your exact budget and can save you from a bidding war if many are vying for the same home.

3.  Look for Motivated Sellers- Again, this shouldn’t be hard to find motivated sellers in the fall since they’re more than likely wanting to sell before the holidays.  Don’t settle for sellers who aren’t willing to budge on a home at the top of your price range; there are too many other great Casper WY homes out there that will have motivated sellers.

4.  Prioritize Your Housing Needs- Finding a home fast means being flexible.  The longer the list of requirements, the harder it will be to find a home.  Keep your list short and to the point.  Focus on the key elements you’re looking for and let the extras fall as they may.

5.  Find a Great Agent- This may seem easy, but finding an agent that truly knows the Casper WY Real Estate market and can show your properties that are right in your price range and meet your style and needs can be challenging.  Of course, I’d love to help you in your home search and know that my experience and proven success will make the home buying process an easy one.  Bottom line?  Do your homework and really research local Casper WY Real Estate agent.

6.  Negotiate Repairs- If an inspection reveals that the home you want to buy requires repairs, taking the responsibility off the seller can help you close the deal quicker. After obtaining estimates, ask the seller for a credit rather than asking them to complete the repairs themselves.

7.  Have Cash Ready for Closing- You don’t want to be scrambling for funds at the last minute, so be prepared for this important date. A day or two before closing on your Casper WY home, you’ll get the final settlement statement, detailing the terms of your loan and all the closing costs. Be sure to get a certified or cashier’s check made out for the total amount you owe at closing, including the down payment since you can’t use a personal check.

8.  Have a Plan B- Because not every transaction goes smoothly, be sure you have a property or two as a backup; you don’t want to have to start from scratch!

I hope these tips help as you begin your Casper WY home search!  If you would like to learn about the current market or begin viewing some of the homes currently available in Casper, please let me know!

I would be happy to talk with you about your real estate needs, budget and lifestyle and help you find the home of your dreams in Casper WY!

For those of you who live in Casper WY, you know of the beautiful setting and probably can’t imagine yourself living somewhere that didn’t have the spectacular views and wide open spaces.  If you’re new to the area, you’ll soon find that those of us that have lived here for some time truly value our city and the environment around us.

In fact, Earth Day is just around the corner and will be celebrated nationwide this year on April 22.  This is a great day to take note of the environment around us, see areas of improvement whether in our own homes or community, and continue on in the care of our city.

As a Casper WY Real Estate agent, I would encourage you to spend the Earth Day outdoors and enjoy the beauty that surrounds our city.  Below are a few more ideas for celebrating Earth Day in Casper WY!

1. Plant a tree in your back yard- Besides being a fun activity for your family, planting trees help to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and they provide a habitat for a variety of other plants and animals. More trees in your yard can actually lower your cooling bill by providing shade over your house this summer.

2. Plant or renew your vegetable garden- April is the perfect time to plan your garden. Section off an area of your yard, and decide what you’d like to grow this year. If you don’t have a yard, window boxes and large pots work just as well. Home grown vegetables are pesticide-free and help you save money. You can also nourish them with recycled kitchen scraps and grass clippings.  Let the children choose new types of fruits or vegetables to try out each year, and give them responsibilities in the garden.

3. Go on a nature hike around Casper- Nature hikes are a great way to appreciate the details of our beautiful earth and you’ll get to know the area even better!  You can even venture over to Evansville to visit the Edness Kimball State Park!  This stunning park is just six miles east of Casper off I-25 and is great for hiking, picnics and other outdoor activities!   

4.  Clean up litter around Casper- This is a great way to give back to our community and make our environment even more beautiful. Bring some large bags and gather up trash to revive our community. Use sticks or gloves to pick up the litter you don’t want to touch.

5.  Cook a special Earth Day meal using all non-processed foods- Invite the friends and family over to share a healthy, home-cooked meal. Get creative and decorate in an ‘earth day’ theme using leaves or potted plants, and let each guest take a plant home to add to their garden.

Earth Day can be a fun time to gather with family and friends and reflect on taking care of our environment.  It may not seem like much, but taking small steps in your Casper home can help the community at large!

If you don’t currently live in Casper WY, but have been thinking about relocating to the area, I would love the opportunity to talk with you!  My experience in the Casper Real Estate market can ensure that you’ll be getting the service you deserve and the area knowledge you need to make an informed and confident decision in the Casper home you choose.
