Fall and All the Great Buys in Tarrant County....not just homes!

Attention all BUYERS and SELLERS  in Fort Worth and in Tarrant County...............Have you Noticed?

It seems that you don't pick up a newspaper or look at a TV commercial that you don't see that the latest best buy is!  As the economy receives more focus, the retailers just keep lowering their prices or offering incentives, or claim they will beat the "best price" on just about everything.

There are incentives to buy cars, deoderant,toothpaste, symphony tickets, 2 for 1 dinners, and it goes on and on...then in neighborhoods, beautiful homes sit, with very vew showings...and the question becomes, should the Seller lower the price.........Good agents run, yet again, another market analysis....they lower the price by $5K and wait to see how that effects the number of showings............not much.

The issue becomes...........a question.  "Are there any BUYERS actually looking in the area?"....Then a thought comes to mind...If the item is priced in the market range, and their are no other issues.....should we still lower the price?  My retail background kicks in with this concept...."If there are no buyers, there is no reason to have a sale at this time....?"

How do we know if their are buyers for the area or not?  Maybe a test open house on a "wide open, no football games Sunday"....if there are attendees, you must have buyers interested in the area......if there are none...maybe there are few buyers right now.

As we try to sell homes and we look at the numbers..........It is true that Price is the huge motivator...but there have to be buyers who want to buy....

............My personal thought is combining the two ideas........get the price to the bottom 1/3 values for the area and if the home is an obvious good value..........the lookers should show up.

Food for thought....if you need help anywhere in Tarrant County...

Just contact me........I am a thoughtful agent and want to help you and your family.
