The Seller's Market within this Buyers Market

Yesterday one of my Realtors called to tell me that another of my Staged properties was in contract!! Wonderful! This one is such a sweet story ...

THE CONTRACT IS FOR 50K - YES - $50,000 OVER ASKING PRICE

During one of my MAPS Coaching Calls with Tony DiCello, Director of MAPS Tony spoke about a priced right AND Staged home in Texas that sold for $100K over the asking price - in 2009. The home was prepared beautifully - STAGED; attracted several Buyers; a bidding war ensued ... talk about the good old days!!

Who out there can share a similiar story? Our Real Estate Industry needs positive news - do tell!

What a wonderful testimonial to your talent as a Stager!! Great news! As I just wrote in my blog, I just had a home sell in 6 days with 6 offers for $21K over asking! This was from a $300 investment on the part of the Realtor who paid for the consultation. I told them what to do. They did it, and everyone reaped the benefits!!

Jan, I totally agree with you & the importance of staging! I recently had a listing that looked & felt like it had been professionally staged as one of my sellers in an interior designer, it sold for $16,000 above List Price in less than one week! It is SO a sellers market inside this buyers market!
