10 myths about the real estate market in Varese

The real estate market in Varese, in the past months, has shown great vitality. After the lockdown, in fact, the number of sales recorded very interesting numbers and, in general, the entire Varese area spurred the search for “homes for sale in Varese and its province”. When dealing with a sale, you always run the risk of running into some false myth. Let's debunk some of them.

1. COVID-19 HAS DAMAGED THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

Clearly the months of lockdown effectively immobilized the market, but the lost months were soon made up for with a strong increase in sales. Also, because everyone has become clear about the true value of one's home: a safe place in which to invest in order to live better.

2. THE HOUSE OUTSIDE THE CENTRE DOES NOT WORK

Absolutely not. Homes for sale in the centre of Varese are undoubtedly very demanded, but in the post-Covid-19 era, houses with independent outdoor spaces, located in quiet residential situations, are highly sought after.

A beautiful garden or a large terrace have become real pluses. And the “province”, also thanks to the possibility of working “remotely” in smart working, is attracting more and more customers from the metropolis, including Milan.

In a recent interview with Giuseppe di Palma, the real estate agent of Engel & Völkers Varese, he explained his point of view on the subject. We advise you to read it.

3. SMALL IS BETTER

For some large cities, small homes are particularly sought after by those who work on the move, for investments or for income-generating activities (such as tourist rentals). The real estate market in Varese, however, says quite the opposite: most of the sales, in fact, concern properties with at least 3 rooms (59.6%, as of July 2021) if not 4 rooms (10.1%). Only 1.3% concerns the studios.

4. THE PRICE IS MADE BY WHO SELLS

No, the price is made by the market. Also for this reason, relying on a serious agency allows you to go out on the market at the right price. A fundamental factor to shorten the time of the sale, but also not to close the deal downwards. Because when a property is on sale for too long, it is easy for it to end up being devalued.

5. THE PRICE IS EVERYTHING

The price is only one of the aspects that can determine the outcome of a negotiation. For customers who rely on Engel & Völkers, in most cases, this is not the first element considered. Rather, exclusive or extremely advantageous proposals in terms of quality of life are preferred.

6. THE HOUSE MUST NOT BE "PREPARED" FOR SALE

A house that has been lived in, in the long run, needs some minor repairs. When it is time to put the property up for sale, many ask this question: better to invest in some works to sell at a higher price, or not? Relying on a serious real estate agency also means evaluating together what could be the best strategies for selling. In general, small renovations can help, while it is useless to do large works whose investment you are not sure you will return.

7. FOR BUROCRACY, THERE IS THE NOTARY

A sale is a very complex act for both parties (buyer and seller). A qualified agency offers all the guarantees to live the negotiation in absolute safety and tranquility, well before arriving in front of the notary. Also, because this professional figure does not protect from any dispute by the buyer, but limits itself to ascertaining ownership and the existence of mortgages, foreclosures or other constraints.

8. MORE AGENCIES MEANS GREATER POSSIBILITIES OF SALE

Many are still convinced that entrusting their home to multiple agencies is synonymous with greater sales opportunities. Nothing more wrong. Having a single agency as an interlocutor makes life easier and avoids unpleasant situations. How to receive the same possible buyer several times, passed by different agencies.

9. IT'S BETTER ALONE

The real estate market in Varese never stands still. (Also) for this reason it is not convenient to rely on one's own knowledge, without relying on an agency. Because that house we bought (or sold) years ago is no longer valid. In the meantime, in fact, the scenario, the rules and the buying and selling strategies have totally changed. Are you sure you really know everything?

10. AN AGENCY IS WORTH THE OTHER

After reading all the previous false myths, it will become clear that not all agencies are the same. Engel & Völkers is the ideal intermediary for those who want to achieve their goal, because they know the real estate market in Varese perfectly and because it will allow them to do so in total tranquility, without having to worry about the bureaucracy that revolves around the sale of a property.
