There is no shortage of information about the current housing market. Most areas of the country have felt the pinch of this buyer's market. But what can you do if you need to sell a home and you can't wait for the market to pick up? You make sure your homework is done, and then make peace with this market trend. Breathe in...breathe out...
Tackle Your Homework:

Hire an agent that you trust, that comes with references from prior customers.

Allow your agent to determine the asking price. Don't be stubborn on this, you'll regret it every time.
Stage your home so it outshines the competition in your price range.
After staging, your listing pictures should look fabulous and include all of your home's best selling features (hardwood floors, fireplace, crown molding, nice landscaping, big bedrooms...these are some examples of great selling features that should show in your pictures.)

Be ready for Open Houses and showings. You have control to make sure the home is kept clean and tidy to impress buyers.
You'll add to your own stress level if steps on this list are skipped or skimmed over! Complete the whole list so that you can feel good about marketing your home for sale.
If the list is done, then relax, and your home will sell. Please, please don't call your agent and blame him/her because your home has not sold!! Casting blame is easy, but it doesn't help.
So let it go...make peace with this real estate buyer's market. And if you're buying a home, you're buying at a wonderful time. Rejoice!!
