Should I sell now or wait till the Spring market?

by Paula Clark

The Bergen County NJ real estate economy not only varies from year to year, but also from season to season. There are a few false facts about listing a home during various seasons. The following is information on deciding whether to list properties in Bergen County NJ during the winter months.

Things to Consider

Fewer Bergen County NJ homes are on the market during the the winter months, so there is much less competition. That is something overlooked by many Bergen County home sellers. Buyers still need to find housing and move during the first few months of the new year, so the winter months is when they need to finalize their home selection. Being one of the few Bergen County NJ real estate options for sale gives you a higher chance of selling. Additionally, potential buyers have more time to view homes during the holiday months. Relocation buyers also frequently use the time off to complete a home search. Thus, it is not uncommon to see homes in Bergen County NJ going under agreement right after the Holidays.

Deciding Whether To List Properties In Bergen County NJ During The Winter Months

If you are not sure about selling your Bergen County NJ property during the Winter months, consider the opportunities you may be missing from home buyers who absolutely need to find a home during this time and are out evaluating homes on the market. A recent survey of real estate agents by Realtor.com discovered that 79% of home buyers looking during the holiday months were more serious. 61% consider less competition among properties to be an advantage. Holding off until the Spring could result in your Bergen County NJ real estate being lost among the large number of new homes on the market or needing to be priced lower due to the competition.

This overview of deciding whether to list your home for sale in Bergen County NJ during the winter months was prepared by Paula Clark at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Contact Paula Clark at 201-930-8820 or RealtorPaula777@gmail.com for advice on placing your property for sale.

Tips on Pest Prevention in Paula Clark Residences

by Paula Clark

Pests such as cockroaches and rodents can cause a health hazard to you and your family. There are several things that you can do to control pest problems in your Paula Clark home, including chemical and non-chemical options. The EPA shares a guide to pest management on their website. Once a pest infestation grows, it can be extremely challenging to eliminate. To prevent pest issues to begin with, apply some preemptive precautions. Below are tips on pest prevention in Paula Clark of Coldwell Banker.

General Pest Prevention:

Address Water

All living things need water for survival, so it is important to minimize the dampness in your Paula Clark property. Repair leaky plumbing and do not let water remain standing anywhere in or around your property. Remove water-damaged items. Even high humidity can interest pests, so use a dehumidifier in damp rooms in your Paula Clark home. Reducing moisture will make it less sustainable for pests.

Normal Hiding

Take out any frequent indoor hiding places such as large piles of newspapers, paper bags, and boxes kept for enduring amounts of time. These easily store moisture and provide typical hiding places for rodents. Think about using plastic bins instead of boxes for long-term storage requirements.

Cover Entrances

Stop pests from having unlimited access to your Paula Clark property by filling small openings in floors, walls, and ceilings. Insert screens on floor drains, windows, and doors to discourage flying insects from openly entering the property. Install weather stripping to doors and windows to fill any permanent gaps. Especially in warmer seasons, keep doors closed to minimize access into your home.

Leaving Food

Be sure not to leave food out on counters and in sinks. This attracts pests into your Paula Clark home and enables them to remain nourished. Consider using containers that seal air-tight. Trash bins can also invite in pests, so find options that hold in odors. Place food in a garbage disposal if possible to minimize the amount of trash put in your bin to begin with.

Tips on Pest Prevention in Paula Clark Residences

Pests look for places to hide that fulfill basic needs for air, moisture, food, and shelter. The best method to control pests is to block them from entering your Paula Clark residence to begin with by eliminating the elements that they need to live as detailed above. Applying these easy steps can avoid the need for more serious measures later on. These tips on pest prevention in Paula Clark residences was offered by Kevin S. Clark at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and is intended to be only a basic overview of some pest prevention suggestions for homeowners in Paula Clark.
