antioch foreclosures: Absorption Rate is KEY to Your Successful Home Sale
- 06/03/10 10:02 AM
Absorption Rate Key to Successful Pricing Telling sellers the price they want to hear may get an agent the listing, but it won’t sell the home. Only pricing the listing right will do that. And the right price depends in large part on the current absorption rate in your market. Here’s how you find that: First, determine the number of homes closed in your market over a specific period — say, 12 months. We can get you this data from the MLS. Next, we divide the number of homes by the number of months in the period — in this case, … (1 comments)
antioch foreclosures: Staging Your Home to Sell
- 06/02/10 12:58 PM
Want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar? "Staging" can help. "Staging" is presenting your home in its best and most appealing light to the majority of home-buyers. In theory, "staging" isn't hard or costly, but in reality, many homeowners find it difficult because it's often hard to see something objectively when we love it. An easy way to see effectively "staged" homes is to visit decorated models. Decorating a model is expensive, but builders are willing to invest the cost because they understand just how well a "staged" home sells. You too can profit from this knowledge. Basic … (0 comments)

antioch foreclosures: Do Price Reduction Signs Really Work?
- 12/06/09 08:49 AM
What do buyers think when they see sign riders stating the price of your home had been "REDUCED"? Today we were driving through a couple of local neighborhoods and the “PRICE REDUCED” sign riders caught our attention. In an area where some houses seem to fly off the market and others languish it made us wonder what do buyers think when they pull up in front of a house with the “PRICE REDUCED” rider front and center. The first questions that popped into our minds was: Was the house originally overpriced? Wonder if the seller is desperate? Is the house in … (2 comments)

antioch foreclosures: Exactly What is a Short Sale You Ask? 50% of all Homeowners Will be Upside Down by 2011?
- 10/08/09 06:53 PM
If the experts are correct and you HAVE to move, a short sale may be your only choice! (or at least the better alternative) In real estate, a short sale occurs when a property is sold and a lender agrees to a discounted loan payoff due to financial hardship on the part of the seller. In these situations, lenders will release the lien that is secured to the property upon receipt of less money than is actually owed. Why would lenders agree to such a thing? First and foremost, banks will use loss mitigators to determine whether it is worth more … (0 comments)
antioch foreclosures: What Wonderful Sellers We Met Today........
- 03/11/09 05:01 PM
This job to us is HUGELY run by the heart. We met 3 sellers with similar situations today alone. Our first seller bought his home in Antioch at the peak of the market. As a matter of fact all 3 of our sellers today did. He and his wife both had full-time jobs and could afford to live in their 3000 sq foot executive home. Then they decided to have babies.......3 of them.....2 of which are twins. Doing what moms do, she wanted to stay at home and raise her own children. But this decision lost them 1/2 of their income. … (0 comments)
antioch foreclosures: $8000 New Home Buyer Tax Incentive is now in effect!!!
- 02/22/09 07:26 AM
Retroactively back to January 1st of 2009 until November 30th of 2009, first-time home buyers get up to $8000 back from the federal goverment when they purchase a home this year. That $8000 does NOT have to be paid back. Think of what you can buy with that much money. You can repaint, re-carpet, buy appliances, furniture, landscaping.....or save it, OR pay down your mortgage and save yourself additional thousands of dollars in interest payments over the life of your home loan. Here's how it works: If you make less than $75,000 ($150,000 married) you get $8000 back at tax time when … (0 comments)

antioch foreclosures: Advice for Sellers of Expired Listings
- 01/07/09 03:22 PM
"My home Hasn't Sold and I Don't Know Where to Turn!" First of all, you are not alone. There are approximately 1800 homes on the market right now in our area. Almost every single week (the numbers change), there are around 80 new listings, 100 sellers who drop their price, 15 homes that actually sell, 20 that expire off the market, 5 go under contract, and around 40 home owners cancel their listing. Those are the facts as of this writing. If you consider these numbers, it would take YEARS to get your home sold. In fact, the average days on … (0 comments)

- 06/07/08 03:55 AM
If you are a seller in the northern Lake County area and are frustrated about the sale of your home, please know that there is hope. It is true there are not as many buyers out there looking right now. But if you price your home correctly and beat out your competition, your home WILL sell. There are a few things you really need to take a look at. The MOST important issue is definitely price. Granted you don't want to "give" your home way, but you won't be able to sell it at all unless you price it for the … (0 comments)
