What Makes Dana Point Sell?
The Condition affects its salability and possibly price. Dana Point that is in move-in condition will usually sell for a higher price than a home that suffers from deferred maintenance.
The Home’s Accessibility refers to just that. Is the Dana Point accessible to shopping and local transportation? For some this would be a necessity and for others, the more remote the better.
Marketing Exposure refers to how Dana Point is advertised. Today the Internet is a fantastic way to market a home but it is still true that the best service a listing agent can do for sellers is to promote the home heavily with local brokers and agents. The Internet and other advertising certainly help, but it is still true that in most cases it is the agent that sells the home by making sure the right buyers know about it.
Dana Point DEDUCTIONS
One of the advantages of home ownership is that while most other types of interest are not tax deductible, the interest you pay on your Dana Point loan is deductible on your Federal and State income tax. This fact alone gives homeowners a distinct advantage over renters.
