angry manSo your home never did sell after many months or maybe a year or more of keeping it neat and ready for prospective buyers.  It is easy to blame the economy and the down real estate market but the truth is that all homes will sell for the right price.  Proper pricing makes up the majority of reasons that homes do not sell, followed by incorrect marketing.  It is critical that sellers price correctly from the start especially in a downward trending market.  The price should take into account the likely depreciation over the next 30-60 days. 

A good Realtor explains this to homeowners and does not accept listings that are over-priced for the comparable market data.  It will not benefit anyone to list a home whose price is not supported by recent data and only leads to a seller's inconvenience, wasted time and money as well as frustration.

If you are still thinking of selling, please give a call or email and I would be happy to provide an accurate analysis of your proper pricing and outline my comprehensive marketing plan for sure results.  I can be reached at franklinmahomes@comcast.net.

Good point, Kathy.  Real estate is one of the last standing free market systems, and a home will always sell if priced right.  Now convincing your sellers of the market value is another story!

Buying a listing for the price that the seller "wants. needs.  has to have...." ends up tarnishing the reputation of the lister...reducing the sale price for the seller....making realtors look like .......

Craig--So true.  Convincing a seller of a price which needs to sometimes be lower than the current data in a declining market is especially challenging.
