How to effectively sell your condo in a slow Maui market?

Luana Kai Condominium Kihei

We all know that the real estate market has really slowed down. Maui condos for sale are not exempt from this current market. So what can I do to sell my Maui home or condo more effectively? Pricing your condo to current sales in the last three months is really important. Have your Realtor do a price comparable of condos recently sold. You might also think about getting an early appraisal. This will also help all potential buyers, and sellers get a reality check. In some cases you might price a little under the last sale, being the market is still slow and hasn't hit bottom, or it is close lets hope.

Clean Decor

I would recommend getting an early home inspection. This will save you time, so your buyer has full disclosure. You can also list any defects or have them repaired. Holding open houses is a great way to give your condo exposure to the public. Serious buyers are driving around in their cars to view units. Yes you do get the curious lookers, but that's okay.

Very important is to use an experience Maui Realtor. Marketing your home through the Internet is Hugh. The number of buyers on line is close to 87%, and most likely they will see your condo on line before they even walk in your front door. Networking with other realtors to promote your condo is very important. I have sold homes and condos from working out in the gym, or surfing with other realtors. I would always look for an agent who is aggressive and creative in marketing ideas.

Last is curb appeal. Clean up your unit, and if needed apply fresh paint, carpets, and drapes. A little art work placed in the right spot to enhance your atmosphere in your unit. Some times buyers are on line and they need a connection to your home. Created that picture or video that will draw in the buyers. In a tough market you need to create interest to set your condos apart from the pack. So get creative and draw your buyer into your paradise.

If you are looking at selling your Kihei or Wailea home or condo. You might want to consider our sales office in The Shops at Wailea, with Hugh display areas and currently being remodel to enhance the display of properties that we represent. Also I am a bit of an internet geek and very effective on the internet. So call for additional information on selling your property.
