Home Selling

It's been said that the only thing in real estate that is more confusing than purchasing a home is selling one – especially if you've never done it before. Where to start? Who to turn to?


These are good questions and – lucky you – the answers are right here within the pages of ActiveRain, the top real estate social network on the planet.


Within our content library you'll find more millions of articles, written by the pros, on home selling topics like how to choose a listing agent, the questions to ask before hiring one, how to stage the home and create curb appeal. What happens if the appraisal comes in lower than the amount the buyer has offered? Is an offer from a buyer with a conventional loan approval better than one from an FHA buyer?


We have the answers here at ActiveRain and chances are great that if you can't find them now (which is hard to imagine!) you will find them tomorrow or the next day because our experts add hundreds of new posts every day.


Only ActiveRain gives you the chance to read news and advice from professionals who not only talk the talk, but walk the walk – the boots on the ground every day in the real estate industry.


Expert real estate advice, free for the reading – you gotta love that!

When you put your house on the market, you want to sell it quickly and for the best price possible; that's generally the goal. But too many sellers are shooting too high right now. They don’t realize the market has shifted as inventory has grown. The side effect? Price cuts are on the rise, but they really don’t have to be. Here’s why.According to data from Realtor.com, in February, price cuts were the highest they’ve been in any other February since 2019 (see graph below):If you consider that 2019 was the last true normal year for the housing market – that's a big deal. We’re getting back to what’s typical for the market. This isn’t the same frenzied seller’s market we saw a few years ago. You may not get the same price your neighbor did at the height of the pandemic. And that means yo...

Selling your home isn't just a transaction; it's about creating an emotional connection.   Selling your home isn't just a transaction; it's about creating an emotional connection. You want buyers to walk in and instantly envision themselves living there, making memories, and calling it their own. So, how do you make them fall in love? Here's a guide to creating that irresistible charm: 1. Declutter and Depersonalize: Create a Blank Canvas Less is more: Start by ruthlessly decluttering. Remove personal items like family photos, excessive knick-knacks, and anything that might distract buyers from visualizing their own belongings in the space. Neutralize: Aim for a neutral palette. Freshly painted walls in light, airy colors can make the space feel larger and more inviting. Cleanliness is ...
