The National Association of Realtors recently released its Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers for 2011. This is a very informative report of the demographics, experiences and preferences of recent home buyers and sellers. And, I use this information to help provide information to assist my Northeast Johnson County Kansas home sellers to become more educated on what prospective buyers are comprised of on average along with what their looking for in their new home.
The Profile indicated that67% of home buyersindicated that the biggest influence in their neighborhood choice of where to purchase was "quality of neighborhood." So what does this mean to you if your are selling or considering selling your home in JohnsonCounty Kansas? It means that what your neighborhood has to offer greatly influences the decision of a buyer to not only purchase your home, but to view your home to begin with.
It is critical to emphasize a number of features of our Johnson County KS neighborhoods when selling your home which I will be posting about over the days to come. The first being to emphasize the schools for your area.
My experience is that not just buyers with children are particularly interested in the schools, but also buyers without children are many times just as interested in the quality of schools for the area they are considering because of future resale. We know that the schools in Johnson County Kansas including the schools where I specialize in Northeast Johnson County Kansas, Shawnee Mission Schools, are rated some of the top in the nation. What a huge "quality of neighborhood" to emphasize and market even if you have the ugliest home on the block.

Folks, don't just choose a price to list your Northeast Johnson County Kansas home for without having information to "back it." I know that you may think that your home is worth "x" amount of dollars, but the market may not justify it.
Do you know what "comparable" homes to yours sold for? If you don't, you are setting yourself up for a possible mistake in pricing your home for sale. Just because a buyer is willing to pay the price that you want for your home, does not mean that the sale of your home will close. As a matter of fact, your home likely won't close.
Many lenders, in today's market, want to see comparable sales that are no older than 90 days from the date of sale. So, if a home that offers the same size, floor plan, location as your Northeast Johnson County Kansas home sold within the prior 90 days of your listing your home for sale, you better be aware of what that amount is because an appraiser for your buyer's lender is going to know and likely use it to value the price of your home in determining your buyer's loan.
Be careful when listing your home...know your competition that is available for sale, but alsoknow how to support your list price!!!

Are you ready for putting your Northeast Johnson County Kansas home on the market for sale? Be sure to put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer. Ask yourself "if I were viewing your home to buy, what would I think...what are the positives and what are the negatives."
Selling your home in today's market presents many more issues than in year's past and is not as easy. You have to have extensive local market knowledge, knowledge of contracts, experience in negotiations for example. You also have to have a real understanding of what your competition is. You can be certain that if a buyer is looking at your home, they are also looking at your competition's home as well. BE VERY FAMILIAR WITH YOUR COMPETITION!
Presentation of your home is critical and that include both inside and out. You don't want to be competing with homes similarly priced as your and that offer similar square footage, number of bedrooms, etc... as your home but that present themselves in better condition and appeal to the market buyer. If you do, you just helped sell your competition and not your home.
Getting your home prepared to sell is a critical first step in preparing to put your Northeast Johnson County Kansas home on the market. Don't put your home on the market until it is truly "ready to go" or you could end up helping sell your neighbor's home instead.
