You hear so much about this being a "Buyer's Market".....but, you don't have a choice, you have to join the other 8000+ sellers on the market and put your home up for sale. Are you doomed?
The answer is...you don't have to be.
Yes, our market has changed. As long as you understand the current market, you'll be okay.
- You can't take what your neighbor got for their home last year and add $20K to it. That doesn't work, don't try!
- You can't figure out what you owe on this home and what you need for a down payment on a new one and price your home that way either. That just doesn't make sense!
- You can't listen to your friends and relatives who have bought and sold many personal residences in past and always seem to come out ahead. That is just dumb!
What you need to do is be informed, most importantly... hire an agent who is informed.
Keep in mind that when pricing your home it is in the agent's best interest to get the most for your home.
- More $$ for you makes you a happy client, A happy client equals referrals for us, Referrals for us equals more business for us, More business for us equals more $$ for us!
- Most agents are paid a percentage of the sales price. A higher sales price equals a higher paycheck for us. It really is that simple.
When pricing your home, it is all about Price and Condition!
Price reflects the condition of the home.
In this market it is important to spend a little time and truly "spruce" up the house. Curb appeal is more important than ever. To sell...we have to get them to want to come in!! Once inside the home, we have to get them to want to stay!
Your agent can help you decide what needs to be done prior to selling. Pre-sale inspections are a great way to know what needs to be done and lets not forget the importance of staging.
Condition reflects the price of the home.
Price reflects the conditions of the home.
