WHEN WILL MY AMARILLO HOUSE SELL?

There is no one answer to that question.  There are many things to take into consideration but one of the things that can point us to how long it may take, is to look at market statistics.  In this case we are looking at a Residential Inventory And Sales  Report for Potter and Randall Counties through 12/31/2013.


If you look at the overall chart, you can see that we have only 4.2 months of inventory at the moment. A balanced market is generally considered to be 6 months of inventory.  Above that it is a "buyer's market" and below that we are a "seller's market".  You can, however, see that not all price ranges are considered a seller's market at this time.  Take, for instance, houses priced between $300,000 and $349,999.  There are currently 8.4 months of inventory. There are 59 houses for sale and only 7 a month selling.

Many say that we are in a seller's market and in many price ranges we are. We are getting multiple offers on the really good, priced right houses.  That isn't happening in all price ranges, however.

 
(As an aside--If your house is priced at $349,999 and $350,000 only have 4.7 months of inventory, should you raise the price $1?)
 
If you are in the price ranges that have lots of houses for sale, it is even more important that you make your house stand out.  This is when we start talking about things like curb appeal, pre-packing, and neutral colors.  As always, however, price is the determining factor.  You may be able to get on the high end of the market price is your house really stands out as something special attracting more buyers.  
 
Those 59 houses will all eventually sell.  Where do you want to be in the mix? Do you want your house to be the last house to sell?  Or the first house?
