The 2014 Bend Oregon Real Estate Market will be different compared to 2013 thanks to mortgage interest rates which are at least a percentage point higher than the same time last year and also higher home values.

We can expect to see fewer home buyers in Bend than in previous years but that doesn’t mean that a homeowner won’t be able to sell their home, condo or vacation home in Bend if they follow this simple strategy.

Eliminate Buyer Objections before Listing Your Home

Some of the areas of your home that you should consider repairing and getting into shape are your: kitchen, bathroom, doors, windows and roof. You may not need to make any major improvements or repairs to your home but doing making small improvements to each room of your home like: painting walls, replacing flooring or fixtures can in the end help to increase your home’s value and make it more sellable.

Get Your Home Really Clean

That’s great that you’ve made repairs to your home and fixed any possible areas that might lead a buyer to submitting a lower offer but is your home clean?
