Are You A Victim Of The Market? Vancouver WA Real Estate
Mark Hall, an agent in Vancouver, Washington, wrote a great post about victims of the real estate market Although he wrote about his area, it might as well be Cary or Apex, North Carolina or any other market in the country.
I always tell my sellers that they control the condition and price, not the location or the market.
condition + location = price
Sellers and agents unfortunately don't control the market or the location, but they don't have to be victims of the market. They just have to ACT within the market conditions, not REACT to them.
Are You A Victim Of The Market? Vancouver WA Real Estate
It seems that you can barely turn on the news without hearing about how "The Market" has taken another victim. It seems this market has been indiscriminately targeting sellers and their agents and casting hexes on them. Their homes have been sitting for sale for weeks and months and years without any visits or offers. Certainly, they must be "victims" of the market! Right?
What do we know about victims?1. They think that they have no responsibility in their fate. Whatever it is, it has happened to them.
2. They think that there is nothing that they could have done to prevent the outcome from happening. Their actions did not affect the results.
3. They always have something else to blame their fate on. (The market, the weather, their agent, their neighbor, etc.)I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, if you have a home that has been sitting on the market for weeks and months and years without any visits or offers, you either need to start listening to your Realtor® or get a new agent.
The answer to your dilemma is quite simple. You are either over priced or the condition of your home doesn't warrant the price that you are asking. (i.e.; You are over priced!) There are a huge number of homes selling in this market and some are selling in just a few short weeks.
Don't be a victim! If your home isn't selling, then you need to do one of two things: listen to your agent's pricing recommendations or find a new agent! There are no victims of the market. There are only sellers who sold their homes and sellers with over priced homes. Which do you want to be?
