Upgrade Fixtures Wisely
 If you're thinking about updating your kitchen or your bathrooms or what have you, whether it is to sell your house or to do whatever, don't cheap out on the fixtures. Let's look, take a look real quick.  This is from Real Realty Times reality Times new fixtures, the easy, affordable update you're not making to your bathroom or your kitchen.

So just consider it, right? It is going to cost a lot of money. Some faucets can cost five, six, $700. Some can be crazy expensive. You can go cheap. I suggest don't cheap, don't go out cheap. One. You get utility out of it if you're not selling your house. Do something as an investment to yourself. An enjoyment, right?

If you have the the little pull down hose where you can rinse down the sink and all that stuff, it's worth the extra effort. Trust me, I have it. I didn't have it for years. Now I have it. 

Avoid Cheap Valves

Don't buy the cheap off-brand stuff. You're gonna wind up replacing it because the guts inside. The valves, the ceramic, the rubber gaskets, et cetera. They don't last as long. They put cheap quality stuff in there, and then when you have to replace the whole valve, you can't, they don't have 'em on stock or you have to order them and it's three or four week backlog, or you have to figure out how to find 'em.

Stick with Delta Moan, and I tell you they're not great either, but Moan has lifetime warranty on the valves, and I can tell you that because I did my kids' bathroom, the shower, put new fixture, put new valves, put everything new, shower, the whole nine yards, and within two years, that valve broke.

I sent it off and they replaced it. So they sent me a free replacement. But because I needed it, I couldn't just, you know, leave it in there and not working. I went to the store and got a replacement valve, cost me 75 bucks, but now I have two just in case it ever falls. There you go. Something worth it.

Just something you have to be aware of. 

Paint and Partial Updates

Paint. Yeah. But paint is now getting non expensive or not cheap anymore. You're paying 250 bucks for a five gallon bucket of, of paint. That's not great. It does make a huge difference when you're painting your house a different color, but tile, new bathroom, new toilets, new vanity, new tub, new shower, that gets expensive and sometimes you don't need to update everything.

Maybe you have a couple cracks in the tile floor. Yeah, absolutely. Get those fixed. All right, so don't cheap out. on the valves, on the faucets. Don't cheap out on your fixtures. 

Timeless Finishes Tips

Try to find ones that are resistant to corrosion and spots and staining. They do have those available. And then if you're gonna go trendy, understand that it's only gonna last two, three years and then you're gonna wind up wishing you hadn't.

Go with chrome, go with brushed nickel, go with the brass. It's always going to be in style, so just keep that in mind. Alright, enough of that probate. 





Probate Sale Support
So part of our services is one, we don't want you to sell the house until you absolutely need to and you've made that informed decision. But also if you do decide to sell your house, you have other things going on, right?

You have to take care of getting your your parents into it. An active community or a mental care facility or let us take care of all the heavy lifting in the house, right? We want you to take all the sentiment stuff out, obviously, but there's stuff that we can do where we have, the state sales.

We can just take everything to a, not a goodwill, but a donation place. Which we do. we get your house fixed up. We clean it up, we get rid of the cobwebs. We'll paint if we have To. we don't want to do a whole remodel, new kitchen.

If you didn't do it five years ago, you're not gonna get the utility out of the cost. So we suggest we don't do it. We do wanna make sure that what you're selling is a complete home. we also want to be able to say, yes, we're going to affect these repairs.

These ones need to be attended to, and they're okay. You can deal with that later on. And we'll make that those hard decisions when we go through it. But we take care of all that stuff for you. we manage the project based on what we agree on, and then we go and do it for you.





Why Homescom Works
Loving this homes.com. I'm seeing my ads pop up everywhere. I think it's just great. They're a great partner. And here's the thing, here's something that you don't know about. homes.com. I hated them for years until I found out that they changed.  And Zillow and Redfin.

Zillow and Redfin is a lead aggregator site or lead aggregator sites. That means you put your email and your phone number and your name in. You're gonna have tons of people calling you, not necessarily the listing agent. So the agent that's calling you has to dig around and find that information, what you could actually do yourself.

But like you can call when you see my listings and be like, Hey, yeah, this listing on fell right here. Is it how many what's the floor plan look like? Is there air conditioning? How's the pool pump? And you're asking me, so I know. Because I'm the agent, so that's what's great about it.

And you're seeing my ads everywhere. When you sell your house, you're seeing your house for sale everywhere you go. It's awesome. It's just, it's great. And then if you want, I can give your friends and family the link so that we can get them onto seeing their ads too. So it's a, it's a good benefit. 

Top Sale Spotlight
This is the highest sold house in Santa Clara County this week. This is Lewis Road, not my listing. Sold for  $9.1 million. Took 27 days to sell, seven bedroom, four bath, 2,900 square feet. And  sorry. It looks like a compound. Flag lot. The flag lot is basically where you have, you know, the flag post, The flag lot is like a foot, and then this is actually a signpost lot, but you get the idea, you get to see it where it's like a flag.

But I think what they're selling is just the land. 'cause look at that. Those houses are dinky. This is for what? $9 million for nine tenths of an acre. Holy crap.

Wonder what they're gonna put on it, because they're definitely gonna be tearing those things down. that's pretty cool. Okay. 

Lowest Sale Off Market

And then the lowest sold house in Santa Clara County is in San Jose on Dale Drive, not my listing. Two bedroom, one bath, 1100 square feet, built in 1935. This one's gonna get torn down too.

$608,000. They sold it off market. Remember what I told you about selling stuff off market. Even the cheaper houses. This house should have sold for six 70 to $700,000.

So the listing agent and whoever offered this house up, they just said, yeah, we'll take it off market. We'll just put it up on comps. But they got a full almost a hundred thousand dollars off the value of this house for some reason. I don't think it's a good value. That's why I always say, get your house on market for at least 5, 6, 7 days and see what's out there.

See what the market's gonna command, because houses in the same condition are selling for six 70 to 700. Yep.

List to Sale Ratios

This is the highest list price of sales price ratio. It sold for 178% Over list price. This is a brand new house flip. They just dropped it down knowing that the houses are worth about $4 million. And guess what? They just dropped it down and said, let's get this thing sold, right?

They probably said, oh, my house is worth $4.5 million. I know it's worth $4.5 million, and it sat for 15 days and then all of a sudden they're like, Hey  it's not, let's drop it down two and a half and bring in the market. Let's attract the market and boom, there you go. If you listened to 'em before, it probably would've sold for 4.46 or whatever you thought it was worth. Same thing here. This is the lowest list price to sales price. It sold for 81% of list price. And boy, I tell you, marketing matters. Look at that picture. What the hell is that picture there?

Oh my God.

This is kind of a piece of crap 24 years old. The architecture inside I, I know you can't really tell, it's novo looking, but it looks dark and dank and the angles this guy did for the pictures are horrible. And look at the colors.

There you go, from $8 million down to 7.2. Look at that price range. You just don't know what the price is really gonna land at, but after 60 days, you know that the price has been overpriced. So there you go. All right. Those are the list price to sales price ratios right There. 

Market Inventory Update
we have now a thousand homes in Santa Clara County for sale.
We're back in the market, guys. It's March the 1st of March, right? And here we go. 10% or 11% are price reductions so far, but that doesn't really matter because right now we're still starting out the year strong. I think we're seeing a really good thing. 

Closing Thoughts

Thanks for watching. I'm Vito with Abano. We'll see you out there.
