Here's a sign of a shift in the real estate market.

NOT A FORECLOSURE OR A SHORT SALE -- important to note that because they are typically priced below market.

Last Thursday, I placed this home on the market:

Poplar Street - Sterling, VA

Family Room - Poplar Street

The 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home in the Sterling Park subdivision of Sterling, VA (out near Washington Dulles Airport) shows great and was priced at $225,000.

But, guess what, none of that matters here, since I'm no longer marketing the house.  It's not necessary.

No sooner did I finish typing the information about the home into the MLS and uploading the photos at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday than I got a call at 2 p.m. from an agent who had shown the home and was ready to submit an offer. 

By the next day we had a total of 3 offers (and about 8 other interested phone calls from agents!)

The sellers chose the best offer, and it was signed, sealed and delivered on Sunday.

LISTED AND UNDER CONTRACT IN 3 DAYS! 

Give me a call at 703-626-0715.  I can do the same with yours! * *

 

**  Fine print:  You must agree to price your home correctly.  The home must show well.  There's no guarantee that we will have 3 offers, let alone a ratified contract in 3 days, but we'll try our best.

Great! In our county we have a shortage of properly priced homes under $225,000 and once one goes on the market (or gets reduced to the price buyers are willing to pay) the home goes under contract quickly. We are even seeing some multiple offer situations.

That is the way real estate should be done.  Price sells and in this market it sells fast!

Brian, when you price it right, a listing will fly off the shelf!  Same thing happened to me this week.

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your success story. Looks like it could have been a hard sell with only having one bathroom. Picking the right price from day one pays off!!
