What Makes An Alexandria La Home Likely to Sell In Less Than 90 Days?
The good news is that the housing market in Alexandria Louisiana remains strong. In fact, homes are typically going under contract in less than 90 days. But why do some homes linger on the market while others quickly go pending? Let's take a look at concrete steps YOU can take to help speed up the process.
1) Price Right From the Start-- Your home needs to be priced in-line with what similar homes have SOLD for. Ask your agent to provide a list of comps from the area.
2) Keep The Home Clean-- Granite counters are meaningless if there are dirty diapers resting on them. Yes, I have seen (and smelled) this. During mild weather let the home air out at least once a week. A clean house is a sold house.
3) Don't Be a Showing Diva-- Leave the property for all showings. Buyers need to interact freely with their agent. This is hard while the seller is giving a guided tour.
4) Respond To Agent Feedback-- After each showing it is important to get feedback from the buyer, even if they decide to purchase something else. After a few showings, feedback patterns will start to emerge. Try to address any consistent concerns that are mentioned.
5) Know Your Competition-- What sort of houses are selling in your market? What incentives seem to be attracting buyers. Unlike high school, there is no penalty for copying off your neighbor. Go with what is working.
Follow these steps and before long you will likely be doing the closing dance.
