selling: Properties listed 20-40% under market value. - 08/21/07 07:25 PM

I've discovered a search method to find properties in Las Vegas that are listed under market value (Comps) and even quite a few that are under a recent, 3 month or less, appraisal or under comparable sales in the last 3 months.

Some examples:
Priced at 849,000 - Appraised at 1.1M. That is about 23% under. I even talked to the appraiser and he will still put it at an easy 1.1M today, … (0 comments)

WHAT'S THE "RIGHT" PRICE?

selling: Fifty One Home Sales Tips - 05/21/07 03:59 PM

Here are the 51 time-tested tips to make your home more presentable for sale. A good rule to follow is to do cosmetic improvements which will better your chances of selling, but avoid making major changes unless they will increase the value of your home more than the cost you incurred. Invest in landscaping where it can be seen at first sight. A well-manicured lawn, neatly clipped shrubbery, and cleanly swept walk create a good first.impression. An extra shot of fertilizer, in season will make your grass look lush and green. Cut back overgrown shrubbery that looks scraggly or keeps light … (3 comments)
