Even though it is a "Buyer's Market" in Kitsap County and across the country,  We can still sell your home.  However, there are several things you must keep in mind in order to do so.

To sell your Kitsap County home, you must price it right, show it perfectly, and market it aggressively.  Example of a Sold Home in Bremerton, Kitsap County, WA

To price it right, ask your real estate agent to do a price point for you, showing you pending, sold, and active listings similar to your home.  Once we have the range for your home's proper pricing, you must price it at the bottom of that range. 

In other words, your home must be the best value for the money, against all the other homes in your price range.  If not, your home will not sell.

To show it perfectly, the home must be spotlessly clean, odor free, easy to show (no day-ahead appointments), have furniture arranged to take full advantage of a room, and perhaps be professionally staged.  The house must have excellent curb appeal.  And remember, a fresh coat of paint can do wonders. Call me at 360-689-6836 for free reports and tips on staging, including "27 Free & Easy Fix-ups" and "20 Low -Cost Ways to Spruce Up Your Home".  I also provide a free staging report to my sellers, with suggestions for improving the value of your home.

In other words, your home must be "best in show".  Make it perfect!

Marketing a home has changed somewhat in the last few years.  Putting a sign in the yard and an ad in the local paper won't cut it anymore.  Your home must be exposed to the widest possible audience.

Broker's Opens, virtual tours, word of mouth amongst agents, and most importantly a strong internet presence, will get your home sold.  Blanket the internet with your home.  Placing the home on a company website and in the MLS is not enough.  Put it everywhere that a potential buyer may find it.  And don't forget to tell all your friends!  Hire a real estate agent who is internet-savvy and aggressive in their marketing strategy.

In other words, tell everyone about your home!  The more people we expose the house to, the more likely we are to find your perfect buyer.

We must have each of these three components as part of our marketing plan. Two out of the three won't cut it! 

To sell your home in Kitsap County, Bremerton, Silverdale, and Port Orchard as well as other areas, use this guide to find your home's next owner.  And be sure to contact me for more information and ideas for getting your home sold!

Here you will find my thoughts and insights into the real estate market in general, as well as tips for Sellers, Buyers, current Homeowners and other real estate agents. Many of the market updates will apply specifically to Kitsap County, in other words, Silverdale, Bremerton, Poulsbo, Port Orchard, Kingston, and all areas in between. Many of the trends seen in Kitsap will overflow to surrounding cities, such as Gig Harbor, Belfair, Allyn, and even Bainbridge Island. I hope you will find this blog helpful and useful.
