Nowadays, homeowners lookingto sell their homes know its not as easy

to do so as it might have been a fewyears ago. A struggling economy hasmade it dificult for many homeownersto sell their homes for a price theyrecomfortable with.

But the sagging economy is notthe only thing can make it dificult to sella home. In fact, a host of other things,some obvious but some not so obvious,can hurt a homes value as well.

Location: A homes location isarguably its best or worst selling point.A home in a great location wont beas dificult to sell as a home in a badneighborhood. But location goes beyonda neighborhoods reputation, especiallyin recent years. Homeowners who livein a neighborhood or development withmany foreclosures might ind thoseforeclosed properties are hurting theirown homes value. Lots of foreclosurescould negatively affect a neighborhoods

reputation, which might make a homewithin that neighborhood less attractiveto prospective buyers.

Appearance: A homes appearanceis another obvious variable that mightaffect its resale value. Homeownersmight want their home to relect theirown individuality, but thats not goingto help when the time comes to sell thehome. If the exterior paint is out of theordinary, then it might be wise to choosea more traditional or conservativecolor before erecting the For Salesign out front. The same goes for ahomes interior. If the interior designis especially unique, a more traditionalinterior decor might help the home sellfaster.

Size and style: Another thing toconsider when selling a home is itssize and style. A home that stands out

on the block might be an attention-grabber, but thats not always attractiveto prospective buyers. For instance, acolonial sitting in the middle of a streetilled with contemporary homes willstand out, but likely for all the wrongreasons. It will likely appear dated andout of place, which is something buyersmight not want. In addition, if the homeis considerably larger or smaller thanthe surrounding homes, then this couldhurt its value.

Non-conformity: In many ways,

conformity is not considered anadmirable trait. But when selling ahome, conformity could make thedifference between a home sellingquickly or remaining on the market formonths if not years. When shopping fora home, buyers often shop in certainneighborhoods and towns and mightsee many different homes within agiven ZIP code. Homeowners withhomes that dont conform to others inthe area might ind it dificult to selltheir homes. For instance, homeownerstrying to sell a two bedroom home in aneighborhood illed with three bedroomhomes might notice their homes valueis not as high as that of surroundinghomes, regardless of the neighborhoodor how similar the homes exterior is tosurrounding homes.

Age: Older homes might havecharacter and a sense of nostalgia, but

appraisers take age into considerationwhen determining a homes value.And buyers tend to lean toward newerhomes for a number of reasons, not theleast of which is the feeling that newerhomes have far more modern amenitiesthan older homes.

When it comes to a homes value,there are a host of things that couldultimately increase or decrease thatvalue in the eyes of prospective buyers.

Factors that might hurt a

homes value

The dream of owning your own vacationhome is one shared by men and women allover the world. Who wouldnt want theirvery own sanctuary from the hustle andbustle of every day life?

According to Andrew Nadalin, President

of Pace 2000 Inc., a leading custom homebuilder in Port St. Lucie, Florida, manypeople not only want their own vacationhome, but they already know what it is theywant from their home. Wereindingthatcustomershaveverydeiniteideasofwhattheywantintheir dream homes, says Nadalin. Theyvewaited until just the right time to make thatdream come true, and they dont want tocompromise the image they have in theirmind of what their ultimate home willfeature.

Whenitcomestoindingaplacetocallhome away from home, consumers tend toprefer somewhere that offers year roundwarm weather and unlimited games ofgolf, as well as proximity to local shoppinghotspots and access to community activities.This puts a premium on warm weatherlocales such as Port St. Lucie, which wasnamed one of the 10 fastest growing citiesin the country, providing vacationers all thewarm weather golf, shopping and nightlifethey need.

Located at the southern end of mainlandSt. Lucie County, in the southeastern part

of the state, Port St. Lucie has been calledthe Jewel of the Treasure Coast. More than300 years ago, several Spanish galleonscarrying gold and silver are thought to haveshipwrecked off the southeastern shore ofFlorida, dumping their vast treasures into

the ocean. And the Treasure Coast was born.But locale likely wont be all thats onthe minds of men and women shopping fora vacation home. Before shoppers start theirsearch, Nadalin offers the following advice.

Considercustombuilt.Manyconsumersmight think custom built homes are beyondtheir price range, but such homes aregrowing in popularity.

Sometimes customers come to us witha lot already chosen, other times we helpthemindjusttherightlot,saysNadalin.

Buttheyalwayshavedeiniteideasaboutwhat is going on the property. Muchofthebeneitofacustombuilthome lies in the options a homeowner hasas opposed to a resale where many of thedecisions have already been made. Buyerswho choose a custom built home can selectthe features and layout they want, instead ofbeing forced to live with the design preferredby a homes previous owners.

Workwithsomeoneyoucantrust.Becauseits a vacation home, chances are buyerswont know any local builders or contractors

they can trust. Nadalin notes that buyersshould be comfortable with a builder andavoid those who arent ready and willing todiscuss their history.

Its important to look for a builder thatcan deliver hands-on experience, dedicationand commitment to the project, saysNadalin. The builder should have as much

passionforfulillingthequestforthedreamhome as the customer does.

Shop around for a builder, asking otherresidents of the community if they canrecommend any professionals and if thereare any to avoid. Once you have narroweddown the list, ask to see some past andcurrent projects, and be as diligent aspossible when doing your homework ona builder. If a builder is reticent about his

company and work history, its best to crosshim off the list.

Your dream home doesnt have to be just a dream
