I spent the weekend showing buyers  Willoughby Ohio Homes For Sale


I have buyers in different price ranges for Willoughby Ohio Homes For Sale

 First Time Home Buyers  &  Move Up Buyers

All weekend long I heard the same questions - almost word for word - Don't the Sellers Know its a Buyers Market?  Why don't sellers do something about the condition?  Why do they have the house priced so high?

We walked into home after home after home of Willoughby Ohio Homes For Sale with buyers shaking their heads in amazement at the condition of the homes and what the sellers are asking for with the price.

My buyers set out to buy a home in Willoughby and instead they ended up with  Buyer's Disappointment.

Willoughby Ohio Homes For Sale can eliminate buyer disappointment with a few easy steps.

Match condition to price.  For years people have heard Location - Location - Location and while that is still very important, equally important is Price - Price - Price.   Buyer's are very savvy and information is easily and readily available to them.   Statistics show that while a buyer may start out in one neighborhood, they will search as far out as 5 miles from their original starting point if they don't find what they like and want.   

Fix it  -  If it is in your power to fix a flaw then do so.  Don't give a buyer a reason to say no.  And if your Willoughby Ohio Home For Sale is vacant - Flaws are the only thing a buyer sees - They stand out like neon signs.

Make it pretty, start on the outside and work your way inside.  Think of it like dating - ladies, you'd probably put on a bit of makeup and some perfume and men, you'd probably take a shower and put on some fresh clothes and a splash of cologne.  Willoughby Ohio Homes For Sale should have the same eye catching qualities to attract a buyer.

Bring it into this century.  Still have that 1970's shag carpet?  It may be in great shape and shag may be back in, but its today shag carpeting not something that was installed in 1970.  Get rid of it.     How about the woodwork - is it screaming 1980 Oak all over the house, everywhere a buyer looks?    Paint it.    There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint and new carpet to make a house feel and look great!

Match condition to price.  Nope not a typo :)   It begins and ends with matching the condition to the price.  If it is simply not in your ability to do the things mentioned then the price needs to reflect the condition.  


I hope these few easy steps help to turn your Willoughby Ohio Homes For Sale to SOLD
