Information for selling your home in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, Tijeras and more.

Selling your home takes planning and preparation. As soon as you start thinking you might want to sell, call me so I can do a Comparative Market Analysis and talk you through the process. Even if you want to sell in a year, it's good to start discussing the process so when the time comes to put your house on the market, you'll be ready.  

The reason a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is important, even in the early stages is because each area, even within Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, have their own unique markets. Taylor Ranch will likely be selling at very different prices than Nob Hill, but even Ladera Heights, just a couple of miles away is likely selling for much less. This holds true all over the country. So if you're in Rio Rancho, you can't assume your house will sell for the same amount as if you lived in the northeast heights of Albuquerque. You need to find out what your house is worth so you know how much you're likely to get when you sell and you can decide if you want to do any updates before putting your house on the market.

Another common scenario in various Albuquerque area is that homes sell for vastly differently prices when they've been remodeled versus when they have not. But not all areas offer the same benefits for a remodel. Nob Hill is one of the most commonly known areas in Albuquerque that provides great rewards for a well done remodel. The same is true for Downtown, Uptown and the North Valley. But when you start looking parts of the Northwest heights of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, the story is different. Remodels are not always rewarded as much. Possibly because the homes aren't as old as those in the other areas listed, but whatever the reason, you have to be careful not to rush into a remodel before selling. It must be done carefully and with the likely financial rewards in mind.

When you know how much you are likely to earn from the sale of your house, you can decide if you want to move forward with putting it on the market or if there are other options you might want to consider (keeping it as a rental property, buying now and selling later…).  In the meantime, I have provided you with some resources to help you work through the process.
