So what’s the secret to selling your home in Murphy, NC? Well, these “secrets” have always been the pillars of marketing and selling your home, and now more than ever you need to be following these...

Price it Competitively
With so many foreclosed homes and short sales out there (and even next door) you’ve got to be priced competitively. It’s a buyers market and they’re looking to get the most home for their dollars so don’t lose time and money by not pricing your home competitively from the start. Let’s face it; more and more buyers in this market will usually go for the lower priced home even over the “better home” that’s priced higher.

Showcase Your Home  
Now that your home is priced right, it’s time to make sure you’ve got the “wow” factor. Many foreclosed and short sale homes will require some or a lot of work before the buyer can move in, so having your home standout and move in ready is priceless. From the first impression at curb side, to the inside and back yard, every bit of time and a little money spent really count. Check out our previous post on ways to showcase your home for more tips. 

Market to the Max
Marketing your competitively priced and showcased home is next. Making sure you have a Realtor partnering with you that will take great photos; do a virtual tour; create fliers; advertise locally and blog about your home. Your online presentation is out there for an estimated 90% of potential buyers that start their search for a home on the internet. Essential in our area where most of our buyers start looking online from other states for the homes they want to see in Murphy, NC.
