Reducing Energy Costs to increase the real estate value of your Hillsborough Home

 

Welcome to Hillsborough







Real estate in Hillsborough North Carolina ranges from historic homes in the Hillsborough Historic District to new developments in the countryside. Historic Hillsborough is sometimes referred to as a museum without walls. The boundaries for Hillsborough were laid out in 1754, where the Great Indian Trading Path crossed the Eno River. You can visit the reconstructed Occaneechi village in the original riverside site within a block of the Orange County courthouse.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Hillsborough Historic District boasts more than 100 late 18th century and early 19th Century structures still standing. The residents appreciate the quaintness and friendliness of their small town, but also enjoy its fast, convenient access to other Triangle cities via Interstate 85 and Interstate 40. Hillsboro is only a 15 minute commute to Duke University and Duke Medical center to the east and about 15 to 20 minute commute to UNC and Chapel Hill to the south.

Vicky Olive of Piedmont Preferred Realty, Inc. is an independent real estate broker serving individuals who value expert representation in their search for a distinctive home and North Carolina lifestyle. Vicky will be pleased to introduce you to the Hillsborough and Orange County NC communities.

Home Staging to boost the real estate value of your Orange County Hillsborough NC home
How many times have you walked onto a property that a client has just enlisted you to sell only to find the yard riddled with children’s toys, old bicycles, and/or a hibachi sitting on the front stoop? Then, when you walked into the home you are greeted with sights of chaos, grime, and decorating styles reminiscent of early yard sale specials. While this example may seem extreme, the reality is that properties that look rough command 10-15 percent lower sales value then comparable properties that have had some cosmetic work to make them more appealing.

The problem for the real estate agent who is listing the disheveled property is how to tell the client that they need to put some work into the property if they hope to attain the highest value possible. After all, the clients probably do not see the chaos of their property and in fact probably see what others may deem as a dump as being a gold mine.

Home staging is a psychological art. A good stager will be savvy to the psychological desires of humans, will understand the cultural preferences of the likely buyer, and can transform an undesirable piece of real-estate into one that is more desirable. What I mean by psychological desires for example, is that most humans have innate desires for open spaces, lot’s of light, and not too much stimulus in a home. But, some of these psychological norms are influenced by culture.  Realty Times
