Factors to Selling a  Home Quickly

You need to sell your home in LA or Ventura County and you need to do so quickly. For whatever reason it is you put your home for sale on the traditional market and you’re hoping to get it sold as fast as possible, but you may quickly realize that selling traditionally leaves you at the mercy of the current housing market conditions. The market will influence whether you will be able to sell quickly when you sell traditionally. Housing market factors that determine your ability to sell a home quickly on the traditional market in Ventura County: 

National economy

The local LA or Ventura County economy

Condition and popularity of the neighborhood in which you live

The condition of your home

The listing price you have set for your home

The listing price of similar properties in your neighborhood (Market competition)

Current mortgage rates and availability

Etc.

When selling quickly sometimes current market conditions can stick a wrench in your plans. It will twist your timeline into a much longer period if conditions are not ideal for your particular property when you want to sell. This may not be a huge ordeal if you can afford to take a little more time to sell your home but if you are in need of selling right away this can present quite a problem and added stress.

Strategy for selling quickly

Here are some steps to take when trying to sell quickly on the traditional market

1. Remember that your house is not the only one for sale on the market   

Since your home is not the only one of its type in your neighborhood there is going to be competition in pricing. The price that you may feel you should get from your home may not be reflective of reality on the traditional market. If you price your home well above ones that are similar to yours in the same neighborhood it will take much longer to sell. A home priced competitively or even just below competition will sell much quicker.

2. Think of your target audience/target buyer  Who would most likely be searching for your type of home in the neighborhood which you live? Do you live right next to a school? You may want to think about marketing to buyers with young children who would be going to the school nearby. Do you own a small home but it is tucked away into the woods? You may consider marketing to retired couples looking for a quieter place to call home. The help of a real estate agent or stager really helps in this area they can help you decide who will most likely be drawn to your home and how to make that home appeal to that set of buyers and help it get sold more quickly. 3. Invest time and money into preparing your home correctly    A home staged exactly for the right target audience with the best curb appeal  is the one that’s going to see a larger number of buyer appointments and showings. You  want to do whatever you can to make your home as appealing as possible and have just the right person to fall in love with it and give you that offer so you can move on to your next home. This could include meticulously cleaning, keeping the yard pristine, painting, updating, and maybe even some light remodeling
