Homes

There have been several developments at Mueller in the last few weeks - Meritage have left their model home, ten new homes in the MLS are pending and the developer has kept quiet about future development plans for 2010

What does this mean for buyers and sellers at Mueller? Here are a few articles that may help:

The old articles I wrote about selling your home in October 2008 still hold true - the third part of that series considers what you have to do to sell your home and compete with the builders.

Given a lack of certainty on the timing of the next builds, we could be in a supply vacuum in Q1 2010, or the developer could announce something new and exciting and we could be in eager anticipation for Q2 / Q3 2010.

Here are some additional points when considering selling a home at Mueller as the number of models decreases:

  • Be open. If there are no models and your home has an open house, it could have the availability edge
  • Take advantage of visitors coming to the neighborhood. Mueller has tonnes of events scheduled. If you can make sure to get in front of all of the people who come in and out and fall in love with the parks, you could do well
  • Stage like crazy. "Staged homes sell faster" used to be the maxim. Now it's "staged homes sell".
  • Steer potential buyers to the community. There's an active community here that is very welcoming to new neighbors and potential neighbors. We've all drunk the koolaid, so buyers can come and taste it too.

Thanks for the updates, Garreth. I hadn't been over in about 60 days, and it sounds like the landscape has changed. Great for resellers to have an opportunity not to fight new construction for just a bit!
