So you may be asking, "How were you able to sell this home so quickly?" Well there are a number of factors playing into that equation.
One is laid out above, this house was in great shape and the future owner will have nothing to do for a long time, that's including the mechanicals. This is a huge selling point and a difference maker in todays market.
Another main factor was the sellers were realistic with the market and the asking price. A very common reason homes are on the market for a very long time in todays market is that a high percentage of home owners believe their house is worth more than it is. They over price it, miss out on many buyers who would seriously consider it if it was priced right, it sits on the market for a while and then the listing starts to get stale and worn. Future buyers then wonder if there is something wrong with the home and wonder why it hasn't sold. After presenting these sellers with the market comparables in the area they decided to set the price right. A huge factor in today's market. If you or someone you know needs to sell a home, and I mean NEEDS to, take the advice from professionals that see homes get listed and sold everyday, you'll save yourself a headache.
The other major factor is the presentation. 90+% of home buyers start their search online so it is crucial that home sellers present their house well online. I had my stager go in and work with the sellers to make sure the home was set well for showings as well as the photographer. After the sellers completed the items the stager suggest I sent in my professional photographer to take high resolution photos to ensure each picture captured the true feel of the home. This part is often over looked by home owners and even some agents, but if the pictures don't get the potential buyers attention online, you'll probably miss them. Here is the virtual tour for this property so you can see what others saw online: www.314elm.com.
Well I hope this info helps you see into the process a little more clearly and what it takes to get a home sold quickly in today's market. As always, let me know if you have any questions.
