 Former For Sale By Owner in DeMotte, IN - SOLD - Holiday Shoppers are Serious Buyers!

We've Blogged about Jasper County, Indiana and Homes we've SOLD in De Motte, IN before.

Home Sales over The Holiday Season!     There is a common objection that the topic of this Blog post addresses, however, that we've heard over many years from Sellers reluctant to list their home in any other season but Spring or Summer. The false perception being : "it won't sell at that time of year" ?

In our experience in the past decade, , during the Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year Holiday Season, the potential Buyers out shopping for homes tend to be more serious about purchasing!

Especially in Northwest Indiana, where winter weather of Snow and Cold, discourages "Looky Louies".

Recently, we Listed an AWESOME Custom Home with a Home Theatre System that was certainly a stand out amenity!

The Sellers had enough of the unqualified showings and casual buyers and limited exposure of the FSBO route of Real Estate, which brought them NO offers over many months.

 We met with them and explained our Professional Services, along with vast Internet presence + Marketing efforts would attract a Ready, Willing and ABLE Buyer bringing an offer on their home which was in move-in ready condition & priced competitively ...even at this time of year!

Only 37 Days later, despite the winter weather and holidays, an offer to purchase from a qualified buyer at list price was received and accepted!

 Only, 46 days in all, from signing The Listing Agreement + the For Sale Sign Going Up, to Signing The Closing Documents & the  For Sale Sign Coming Down.

We'd be happy to set up an appointment to Tour Your Property, provide you with a Competitive Market Analysis of Price, and discuss our marketing Strategy and answer any questions you may have.

That's awesome Keith! Buyers are definitely out there, Jeff jokes that you have to turn the nighlty news off to be able to recognize that fact :)

We did the final walk through for this home in a snowstorm and yes we got more snow and ice yesterday nite after this closing.

Thank God we closed in the morning - all parties had safe travel to & fro the Tilte Co!

Thanks for taking time to stop by and comment.

Sincerely,

Grace

Jeff and Grace, first Merry Christmas from your Indianapolis realtor!

I'm not surprised you are seeing success, you have a lot of enthusiasm and drive to get the job done.  It is a known fact that internet over print is the way to go; but I am still amazed at how many sellers ask me which magazines they will be featured in.  I've spent a lot of time educating sellers.

Congrats on selling at this time of year, you make it sound easy!

Hello Cindy and a belated Merry Christmas wish to you & yours too and a happy healthy new year - we've been out west in Tahoe skiing and enjoying the company of our daughters over the holiday. Latest stats show less than 3 % of people searching for homes use print ( newspapers or homes books). Most conumers do not know this! Thanks for taking time to stop by and comment. We love what we do - so to us, it is easy :)

Sincerely,

Grace

Thanks Bruce - appreciate you stopping by and sharing your validation. We have more buyers out looking at homes this week after new years than we can ever remember? even with our snow and cold here in NW Indiana - must be those LOW INTEREST RATES bringing people out of the woodwork as this window of opportunity may not stay open forever:)

Have an awesome year!

Sincerely,

Grace
