Our current market has allowed sellers to reap the benefits of Humboldt's low inventory as we discussed last week. If you have decided to sell, and would like to increase your chances of an all out bidding war, there are a few little tricks you can try that might make a difference. One of the most notable and effective ways to guarantee more interest in your property is to focus on your curb appeal. The term curb appeal used to be used exclusively for a properties front yard, but in our technologically advanced world where you can see a properties every nook and cranny from your phone, the term has taken on new meaning. There are numerous house hold tasks that can help such as: power washing the driveway, cleaning the gutters, patching holes in the fence, de-cluttering your family room and counter-tops (Kitchen & Bathroom!) among countless others. Below I included a video from this past weekend where my family and I spent the majority of our time revamping our backyard. We invested about $250 on materials and I would argue that investment has an ROI (return on investment) around 1500%-2000%. That might sound a little high to you, but in our current market if there's two similar homes with similar pricing yet one has a fully developed backyard, I believe that would secure the buyers interest. When it comes to curb appeal the name of the game is tangible upgrades in exchange for minimal financial investment.

  • New listings dipped down this week to 57. We desperately till need more!

  • Pendings remain at 66 this week, once again increasing our new COVID summer average.

  • 45 properties closed escrow this week which is a double digit increase from last week.
