sell house tallahassee fl: Home Seller: Did Nobody Tell You The Seller ALWAYS Pays For Repairs?
- 07/31/16 11:51 PM
During a real estate transaction, it is very typical for a house inspection to be performed on behalf of the buyer. It is not uncommon for this report to reveal some issues with the property, and this raises the question of what will be done moving forward. There are several options. First, the issue(s) can be ignored, second, the homeowner can repair or replace the problem(s), and finally, the buyer can repair or replace the problem(s). Regardless of the option chosen, it is the homeowner who will "pay" to bring the house to "market" condition. Do you want to know why? Supply And Demand Determine Real … (8 comments)
sell house tallahassee fl: Why Are You Forgetting This Disclosure?
- 09/27/15 11:13 PM
The State of Florida requires house sellers' to disclose all known defects that might materially impact the value of a home, yet this seems to be an area where most sellers (and their listing agents) appear to "forget" to be totally forthright. When a real estate company is hired for the job of selling a home, the listing agent typically has the homeowner fill-out and sign a Disclosure By House Sellers statement. The seller is supposed to record all changes that have been made to the property and itemize things that might be wrong with it too. For the most part, I think … (12 comments)
sell house tallahassee fl: Where Have All The Sellers Gone?
- 09/21/15 09:47 PM
Fewer home owners are entering the market this year to sell their houses. This is actually "news" for the Tallahassee real estate market, and it might be the most significant news of the year for our ailing market should it continue. If you saw The Weekly Special Report a few weeks ago, than you likely understand the impact on house values as the imbalance between supply and demand for houses in Tallahassee improves. But I'm wondering how the market will react to this in the early stages of 2016, as it appears that houses priced below $300,000 will either be in-balance or actually entering a … (9 comments)
sell house tallahassee fl: Do You Suspect Your House Is A Turkey?
- 09/10/15 10:58 PM
If your house is listed for sale and has been on the market for more than a few weeks, you have to ask yourself this question... Is your house highly desirable, or is your house a turkey? Value is in the eye of the beholder, and we can confirm or refute the expected value of a house by exposing it to people who are in the market to buy one. And therein lies the rub. If you've been on the market long enough for your house to have sold (a house should sell in 4 to 14 days to maximize seller's dollars), has it been properly … (2 comments)
sell house tallahassee fl: Has Your "Buddy" Sold Your Home Yet?
- 08/30/15 11:06 PM
So you finally decided to sell your house. You called your buddy who is "in real estate" and asked him to take a look at your house. He came over, told you how great your house was, and even said he had several people who would be interested in it right away. He asked you what you wanted for it, whipped out a contract (listing agreement), and had you sign up on the spot. He told you to start packing, he would 'get er done.' He put the sign in the yard, the lock-box on the door, took a few pictures, and he was gone. But that was … (4 comments)
sell house tallahassee fl: One In Eight Home Sellers Make This Mistake
- 07/19/15 11:37 PM
As part of my diligent effort to seek and find new trends in the Tallahassee real estate market, I do a weekly analysis of every single listing (house for sale) in the Realtor MLS. Lately, I have noticed that about one in every eight homeowners is choosing to raise their asking price when they come back onto the market after having failed in the past. The logic of this has me at a loss ... what are they being advised? How does that chain of thought go ... "Nobody wanted your house when you had it listed for sale for $250,000, why don't we try to … (6 comments)

- 08/07/13 11:10 PM
Owners of unique homes have been the most frustrated segment of the Tallahassee real estate market during the past seven years. Of course, the one thing that all houses have in common is that they are unique ... think about it. No two houses are exactly alike, so is being unique really any different for you than it is for your neighbor? But there are certain features in homes that you do not find very often, so how do owners of unique houses get their houses sold in a real estate market where buyers are being very cautious?

sell house tallahassee fl: Why You Should Know The Success Rate For House Sellers In Your Area
- 07/24/13 12:33 AM
Before you put your home up for sale, make sure you identify the success rate for house sellers like yourself. This will help you prepare your negotiation stance to mirror your market position. And if you don't think this is important, then you will likely be like the 41% of home owners who failed to sell their house last year!
