Here's an article written by Melissa Tillman, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent and a Rodgers Forge resident. It discusses home prices in the neighborhood and what residents can do to boost their homes' values.
"The Rodgers Forge market is booming! While it’s true that the market has leveled off a bit over the past few years, with more of a balance of buyers and sellers (versus the stressful, feeding frenzy atmosphere of a few years ago) our values are holding their own.
Sellers who have properly maintained and prepared their homes for the market and most importantly, priced their properties appropriately can expect a relatively short time on the market, achieving their desired price. And though I may be biased, the entire process will go much smoother and a higher profit will likely be achieved with the assistance of a Realtor.
Some of the best ways to enhance your property are very basic but often overlooked. A good thorough cleaning from top to bottom, from the oven, to bathrooms to ceiling fans and everything in between is job one prior to putting your property on the market. A home that is spic and span, regardless of updates and amenities will always be more enticing than an unkempt property – cleanliness often denotes a feeling of good overall maintenance – something all buyers are seeking." -- read the entire piece here --
