Selling Your Home - Key Market Factors

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty

How long does it take to sell a property? Some properties sell in a few days, others may take several months. By recognizing some key factors that influence marketing a home, you can get significant control over market time.The proper balance of these factors will expedite your sale:

  • Location
    Location is the single greatest factor affecting value. A neighborhood's desirability is basic to a property's fair market value.
  • Competition
    Buyers compare your property against others in that neighborhood. Buyers interpret value based on available properties on the market.
  • Timing
    The real estate market may reflect a "buyers" or "sellers" market. Market conditions cannot be manipulated; an individually tailored marketing plan of action must be developed for each property.
  • Condition
    The property condition will affect price and speed of sale. Optimizing physical appearance and advance preparation for marketing maximizes value.
  • Terms
    The more terms available, the larger the market, the quicker the sale and the higher the price. Terms structured to meet your objectives are important to successful marketing.
  • Price
    If the property is not properly priced, a sale may be delayed or even prevented. Reviewing the Comparative Market Analysis assists you in determining the best possible price.
