Real Estate Resources For Sellers
Marketing is the key to getting the best price for your home and selling it quickly. The price has to be set correctly. If you set the price too high, you won't
get any offers and it will take longer to sell your home. If you set the price too low, you can
cheat yourself by not getting a fair value. Ask for a "comparative market analysis"
(CMA), which shows the prices of comparable recently sold homes, on-the-market
homes and homes that were on the market, but weren't sold.
One of the first things that needs to be tackled is curb appeal. The buyer needs to be drawn in. A large percentage of home buyers decide
whether or not to look inside a house or take it seriously based on its curb
appeal—the view they see when they drive by or arrive for a showing. Tackle clean up and repair chores first,
then put some time into projects that make the grounds more attractive. Kill
mold and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof, or driveway.
You should always have a professional home inspection when you're buying or selling
a home. A home inspector evaluates the structure of the house, and gives feedback about other systems such as the
roof, plumbing, electrical system, heating and air conditioning units,
insulation, doors, windows and more.
The most common reason your home is not selling is because your price is too
high. Even if you do get an offer for the high asking price, the deal may
fall through before closing because the buyer may have problems getting
financed. Your home is competing against other homes and what buyers are
willing to pay will determine the final sales price. The
condition of your home can also be a reason why it won't sell. Your home is competing with many other
homes.
