Selling
If you are ready to sell your home and wondering what makes a home sell, it basically comes down to price, terms, condition, location and exposure. When considering an asking price for your home, I would suggest pricing it realistically. In today’s market, our inventory of homes on the market is at a high number. A buyer is looking for homes that are priced correctly. Chances are an over priced home will stay longer on the market. One tool that is very valuable at this stage is a Comparable Market Analysis. It will show homes comparable to yours which are active on the market and homes which have closed. This is a report which can be completed and provided by your agent.
One suggestion would be to take a look at your home’s condition before putting it on the market. Does it need updating, repairs made or maybe just need some touch up paint? If so, try to look through the eyes of a buyer wanting to make an offer on a home. You would want yours to be considered with the others that are in move in condition. Also, you may be competing with new construction homes in the area. Being prepared when your home first goes on the market gives it a quicker chance of selling. Please look over the Show and Sell Checklist page in the navigation bar on the left for helpful tips for getting you home ready to market.
Exposure is always important when selling your home. When interviewing agents, go over their marketing plans to see which will give you the be exposure to buyers looking for a home like yours.
