Since you have always heard that the best time to put your home on the market is during the spring months April-May. As a La Jolla Realtor that is one of the questions I get asked quite often from home sellers. I’m here to say Why wait? If you are truly interested in selling your home put it on the market NOW!

Here are the reasons why:

  1. Less competition: Most home sellers are waiting for the “selling season” to begin. By putting your home on the market early, buyers will have less to choose from and your home will stand out.
  2. Interest Rates: They are still at historical lows. Buyers are out looking at homes now and taking advantage of these terrific interest rates
  3. Buyers are out home shopping now: Home Buyers are out in force. I’ve seen more multiple offers on homes in the past several weeks then in the past six months. As a seller take advantage it! Be first to have all these anxious home buyers tour your home.
  4. The Banks haven’t released their Shadowy Inventory yet: We have been hearing it for months that the banks are going to start releasing their REO properties at an increasing rate. So far it hasn’t happened but it will. Why compete with the banks inventory.}

If you’re a home Seller and are serious about selling your home don’t wait! Remember to price it right, De-clutter and add color flowers to the exterior for curb appeal and put your home on the MARKET NOW! Be ready for all the buyers you will have! Because you’re competition will be waiting for the “home buying selling season”, while your home will be sold!

This past week our weather in La Jolla was in the high 70′s, it felt like Summer! I was wearing sandals to work and loving it!  In fact one day the thermostat registered 80 degrees a new record for La Jolla.  Along with the warm weather La Jolla was also experiencing a high surf advisory which made our fabulous beaches a surfer’s paradise. Windansea beach was one of the more popular surfing spots, it also was a great place to watch the high surf and waves crashing over the rocks.

As the New Year approaches I began reflecting on the year that was, and started planning for a fabulous 2012! Some years I’m sad to say good-bye to the past year, however 2011 is not one of them. In fact I’m happy to say adieu, adios, and ciao to this past year!

Last year a majority of my time was spent dealing with my aging parents and their declining physical and mental health. So for part of this past year my real estate business was put on the back burner, not willingly but out of necessity.

One of my favorite things I like to do with the arrival of a New Year is to create my theme for the year. 2012’s theme is FOCUS! Focus stands for: Future Opportunities Creating Unlimited Success. I want to continue to establish myself as a trusted go-to source in Real Estate. I’m going to Focus on me first, then my family, and then my business in that order!

If I don’t Focus on myself: my body and my mind won’t be prepared for the mental and physical challenges that the New Year will bring. My goal is to exercise consistently to get stronger and more toned. Which in turn will make me mentally stronger as well.

My Focus on my family is to always be in the present with them. To many times I find that I say, “let me handle this first” I have to realize I’m not a brain surgeon (even when my clients want me to be on call 24/7) it is OK to turn the phone off!

My FOCUS for my business is to create the greatest opportunity for my clients to have the best experience for success, within this real estate market.  I will focus my intention on always being positive, timely and always adding value to whatever I am participating in. By doing this I hope to create a strong bond of trust, which will create more raging fans along the way.

I’m looking forward to an exciting and successful 2012, so bring it on! I’m ready!

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to move to La Jolla or sell your home give me a call 619-980-2738! I’ll be FOCUS to make your move go smoothly!
