How to Know How Much Your Delaware or Pennsylvania Home is Worth

When you decide to sell your home in Delaware or Pennsylvania, you begin to dream about how much profit you can make and moving to your next location. However, there is one figure you’ll need to determine before you can make those dreams a reality— your home value.
It is not uncommon for homeowners to over-estimate how much their property might be worth, so as your local real estate experts, The Kat Geralis Home Team has put together a few tips that can help you determine just that.
Comparable properties
One of the first places to look to help find your home value is a list of comparable properties in the area. Look at homes that have a similar square footage to yours or those with the same types of features. Even if you think your home is better than the one down the street, you’ll need to consider if it has a larger footprint, updates that yours doesn’t have, or more bathrooms as these can add significant value.

How to Prep Your Delaware or Pennsylvania Home for Halloween

October is nearly here! That means fall is officially underway which brings about its own share of tasks for Delaware and Pennsylvania homeowners— raking leaves, cleaning out the fireplace, updating decor and now, preparing for Halloween. You might not have anticipated getting ready for trick or treaters, but there are a few ways you can make sure the path to your door is as safe as possible.
Clear the way
Just as you would do to prepare for potential Delaware and Pennsylvania homebuyers, you need to ensure the pathways are unobstructed. While it's still daylight, inspect your lawn, driveway and other pathways for anything that could prove an obstacle. That means tree roots, fallen branches, or even cracks in the pavement. Make updates and repairs where you can or at the very least, block off these areas.
It's also important to make sure your Halloween decor is not in the way. Things like extension cords or small pumpkins can cause trick or treaters to trip.
Light the way

Take this weekend to check off the following on your storm prep to-do list. With these tips, you can both secure your home and avoid any surprises that can come from Mother Nature as we head into fall.

The assumption that spring is the proper time is not always accurate. Below are four things to consider if you're ready to sell your home.
Spring isn't always best
Many believe that spring is the best time to sell your home, however according to Realtor.com, "one recent study found that sellers typically net more above asking price during the months of December, January, February, and March than they do from June through November."
