The real estate market in Amarillo TX is kind of like that old grey mare… she ain’t what she used to be! Now don’t get me wrong, houses are still selling. But it the market is a little slow and competition is fierce. 2011 was better than 2010, but the market is not as good as it used to be. So this brings me to my point. How can you sell your house fast in this market? How can you sell your house in Amarillo without using a Realtor?
I am probably asked this question at least once every day. I could go on and on for hours about the mistakes that I see home owners make, but the biggest mistake of all is pricing the house incorrectly.
Many people price their house at what they would like it to be worth, or what it used to be worth, or what their neighbor’s house sold for three years ago. They rarely take the time to do research. Pricing a house correctly is a big key to getting it sold. I know that you want to get as much for it as possible but you also have to be realistic. You need to look at market comparables in your neighborhood. Try to look only at houses that are within 20% of the same size as yours, the same style, in the same condition, and that have sold within the last year. If you price it too high you will miss out on the first 30 days on the market, which is the time that your house will get the most exposure. Price it aggressively if you want it to sell quickly. Even if you are just 5% below the rest of the competition your house will stand out.
If you have a house in Amarillo that you need to sell fast you should call me and let me make you an offer. I can close very quickly and I take the house as is, so you don’t have to make any costly repairs. I would be happy to give you more information.
