A Few More Good Listings Needed

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Results MN#20344949 WI#93113-94

Looking back at what I have seen come on the market and go off the market the first month in the North Metro of Minnesota I can tell you that the good listings are not lasting long.

Good listings are the ones priced at or below market.  They could be bank owned, short sale, or traditional sellers.  Either way they were selling if the value was there in the eyes of the buyer.

In fact areas likes Monticello, Otsego, Elk River, St. Francis,Princeton and surrounding cities seem to need a few more quality listings.  Sellers do need to know the prices are still at the bottom of the market. Yet if your situation points to making a move then now is a great time to sell your home.

Make your home a GOOD listing by:

1. Pricing it AT or BELOW the market price. You can go through the sold and pending listings in the area to see where the MARKET PRICE is. 

2. Make sure the home is clean and decluttered.  You want your home to stand out (in a good way.)

3. Make it available to show.  Not all buyers give 24 hours notice, so have your home ready to show because if you have it price RIGHT and LOOKING great the phone will ring.

A FEW MORE GOOD LISTINGS ARE NEEDED NOW!  So don't wait, lets get your home SOLD!

Chuck~It's hard to believe that there is a shortage of good listings, especially in this market.

Have an awesome day!

We are seeing the lower end listings sell fast here as well as long as they are priced right and clean. Heck if priced good enough, even the dirty homes are going fast.
