What Will You Cross Off Your Housing To-Do List This Summer?

Summer in Hampton Roads is the perfect time to move forward with any housing plans. Cross off tasks on those to-do lists one by one when you make a methodical plan and stick to it!

Make headway with housing by:

• Going house hunting. If you've considered buying a home, why not take some tours? Look online, visit an open house or two and keep those eyes peeled for new listings. Don't forget to tour new communities and check out the new homes builders are constructing.
 
• Locating an experienced real estate agent. It is crucial for buyers to have someone on their side who can look out for their best interests. The path towards home ownership can be filled with obstacles for those without knowledgeable counsel.
 
• Getting prequalified. Some buyers may not know this step can actually be quite simple. Answering a few questions over the phone can give you a better grasp on how much home you can afford to make house hunting that much easier.
 
• Putting current property on the market. Summer is an optimal period to sell a home; buyers who must do this before buying a new house can come out ahead in this property selling season.
 
• Renovating. If homeowners decide to stay put, summer is a good time to find contractors and get work done. Adding value to a home through sensible improvements can be a solid investment.

Don't wait until temperatures begin cooling down; make your move today! Whatever your goal is concerning housing this summer, you can achieve it in Hampton Roads.
