I think I will wait........

Until the market gets better to sell!  I was talking with a woman the other day at a party and of course she asked me how I thought the market was.  I told her for me it was going well.  This summer has been fantastic and will, cross-my-fingers, keep going!  I explained to her that homes are selling, especially the ones that are priced right and in great condition, as well as the cheap investment properties!  I had a listing sell in less than 30 days because of location and condition, it was a bit on the high end on price but he didn't loose too much on what he wanted!

She was concerned that a home on her street recently sold as a foreclosure would bring the value of hers down dramatically.  She proceeded to tell me everything they have done to the home in the past few years and was worried she would not get that back, with the way the "market is" today!  I asked her where her home was located and she told me it was in a local town that gets quite the traffic when a home is listed, so as I had told her before, with the condition her home is in she wouldn't have any problems.  I asked her what she thought her home was worth, and after she told me what she thought, I really reassured her she would have no problems as long as the condition was as good as she says it was.

I know in every market location, price, and condition have always played a role in a home selling, and in our market today you can bet yours will sell quickly if all of these are together in a nice selling package!

Maria, Great post!   I agree totally!  Too many people are waiting for no real good reason.

A lot of people in the market today are kicking themselves for not selling a year ago. If you wait for the right time to come, it never will.
