If you own a house in Tallahassee and want to move, then read these tips for selling a home and you should be able to reach your goals. Currently, 57% of homeowners who put their house in Tallahassee on the market last year failed to get it sold, and it simply was the result of not understanding a few simple things.
The real estate market is bound by the same sets of rules as any other commodity, and that means supply and demand will rule the movement of values over time. If too little supply is available for buyers, then prices … (2 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Home Sellers: You Cannot EXPECT What You Do Not INSPECT - 09/24/10 01:42 AM

Are you interviewing real estate agents for the job of selling your home? If you are like most new home sellers, you invite an agent or two into your home and you have them “pitch” to you the reasons why you should hire them to sell your home. They come right to your home so that you don’t even have to visit the real estate office in which they work.
And therein lies your biggest mistake. It is expected that 70% of the homes listed for sale this month will fail to sell during the term of the listing period. … (0 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: My Message If You Are Trying To Sell A Home - 09/17/10 02:26 AM
If you are trying to sell a home and have not succeeded, then you are like much of your competition. It is expected that 70% of the homes on the market today, as well as those that will enter the market over the next year, will fail to sell. It should be obvious to anybody paying attention that home values are dropping and that competition for home sales is rising.
So, if you have been trying to sell a home and have not heard, the market’s message to “borderline” home sellers is “just go ahead and remove your home from the … (6 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Home Sellers Should Check Home Listings For Completeness - 09/09/10 01:42 AM

If you have a home for sale in Tallahassee (or anywhere for that matter), you should check to make sure that your listing in the Tallahassee MLS is both accurate and complete. A review of the Tallahassee Board of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service this morning showed that many “tricks of the trade” are not being utilized by all of the real estate companies in Tallahassee.
I was prompted to do this check because recently a reader wrote in with a question about where to go to find information about creative financing and other options a home seller needs to consider … (4 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Tough Decision For Home Sellers Must Be Made Today - 07/21/10 02:49 AM
 
Home Sellers must decide to stay or go. It is as simple (though very painful) as that. This has been a recurring theme in real estate conversations that many of my troubled customers and I have discussed on a regular basis for more than two years. There are enough buyers in the market that we can sell just about any home, so ultimately the ability of each and every homeowner to sell their house is in their own hands.
Home Sellers: STAY OR GO! If you go back to articles that I was writing in 2008, I urged homeowners to … (6 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: How To Sell A Home Using The Internet - 06/25/10 05:35 AM
Do you want to know the truth about how to sell a home in today’s real estate market? If you try and find information on what REALTORS® are doing, it seems you get information overload.
With roughly 60% of the homes on the market failing to sell over the past year, it is obvious that most home selling plans are not effective. Would you hire somebody if they told you they had a 40% chance of selling your home? The fact is, that is most usually the case.
The Traditional Home Selling Plan
The National Association of REALTORS® conducts a … (0 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Active Internet Marketing Requires Full Time Commitment - 06/22/10 12:11 AM
There really is a huge difference between the two different types of plans for marketing a home for sale on the internet. It has taken me three years to complete the evolution from where I was based in traditional realty methodologies to being a much more active marketer on the internet.
You see, the two methods are diametrically opposed, but very simple to understand.
Passive Internet Marketing occurs when a real estate company starts the evolutionary process from traditional methods to the use of the internet. “Ads” are placed on the internet in the hopes that consumers will contact the real … (6 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Are You Selling Any Homes? - 05/28/10 01:17 AM
Are you having any success in selling a home in Tallahassee? I get this question from prospective home sellers in Tallahassee, as well as from REALTORS from all over the internet. I think it is one of the more important issues defining our housing market nationwide.
Most real estate professionals define a “good housing market” as one where when somebody wants to move, they can sell their home. Simple. Concise. Understandable. There is a market for homes and somebody will want to purchase mine if my family needs to move. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for the past few … (6 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: How To Find Home Buyers On The Internet - 04/08/10 01:18 AM
The internet has had a profound effect on the way consumers buy products, and this has definitely reached the real estate market. The recent survey compiled by the National Association of REALTORS showed that 94% of home buyers used the internet during the purchase of their home indicates that anybody who is trying to sell their home must not only be on the internet, but must also know WHO they are seeking as well as WHEN and WHERE to be waiting for this new generation of home buyer.

sell a home in killearn acres: Avoid This Crazy Home Seller Mistake - 04/06/10 01:23 AM
Home sellers have been making a consistent mistake for all the years that I have been in the real estate business. I suspect that this shocking error in approach to selling a home has been around as long as there have been homes, home sellers, and real estate agents. Of course, I’m referring to the method that they use to select the real estate company they will hire to sell their home.
A recent survey of home sellers by “Texas Realtor” (and made known to me by Bill Cherry in Dallas, Texas) was performed in an attempt to determine how current … (4 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Home Sales Success Rate Is Rising - 04/05/10 09:21 AM
One statistic that we have been maintaining at The Market Bulletin is a measurement that we refer to as the “Home Sales Success Rate.” Currently, the one-year trend is at a two-year high!
By dividing the total number of closed sales by the total number of new listings, over a specific time period, we can show a trend that gives a hint at how many homes (as a percentage of the total) are actually selling.
We are more curious about the direction of this trend as opposed to its absolute value because we know it does not track the history of … (0 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: All Homeowners Have Four Options Today - 09/02/09 12:12 AM
 
So many homeowners have seen the summer market come and go without so much as a low-ball offer on their home. I am getting more email pleas for help than ever right now and most of these are from people who are really hurting and need help.
Since this is becoming more of a common theme and is occurring on a daily basis, we decided to video tape a recent appointment with a frustrated homeowner. This is not an unusual response from a homeowner after we discuss recent housing market activity in Tallahassee.

I saw this video before and … (6 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Formula for Success – Multiple Offers & Sold in 5 days! - 05/26/09 11:08 AM
 
This is a great example of "doing it right" as a great listing agent in Tallahassee. If you price the home to sell, even in a buyers' market, you create an optimum situation for the home seller.
 
Who would have thought that a modest home in an average neighborhood without A-rated schools would create a feeding frenzy?  But it did.  As soon as it went on the market, the showings started and every showing brought an offer!  The owners settled on one that brought smiles to their faces with terms that fitted their needs exactly.  It's great to know … (0 comments)

sell a home in killearn acres: Killearn Acres Real Estate On Different Path - 05/20/09 10:46 PM
Killearn Acres has been one of the top selling Tallahassee neighborhoods ever since I started my real estate career in 1991. It features homes that are priced near the median home price range in Tallahassee and you can use its historical home sales graph as a near-identical copy of the average home appreciation in the Tallahassee real estate market. Something interesting I found when I studied the historic home sales in Killearn Acres was that the “boom market” of escalating sales ended early for some reason.  Home sales slowed more than a year earlier here than it did in most other … (0 comments)
