Whether you’re trying to sell Indio real estate or Rancho Mirage real estate properties, if the market is stagnating or you’re having some trouble attracting buyers, then it may be time to incentivize. With a little creativity, you can easily make the transaction more appealing.
Pay homeowner association (HOA) fees. Springing for a buyers’ first year of HOA dues is deductible for you and will lessen the load of the down payment.
When it comes to Rancho Mirage real estate, there tends to be a lot of maintenance fees due to the ubiquitous pools, as well as standard garden and lawn maintenance. This is something buyers will need to cover and may even be required to do in the community, so paying a year of their maintenance fees is another way to help them over the hurdle of a daunting down payment. You may also want to consider making new buyers feel at home by buying some new landscaping features such as shrubs or flowers.
We recently saw the former owners of an Indio real estate property make this gesture: leave some treasure behind. If there are any furnishings or appliances that are custom fit, leave them for the new owners if you think it may help close the deal. If you hear a prospective buyer gushing about that gorgeous chandelier in the dining room, it may behoove you to gift them with it as part of the purchase deal.
