The supply of houses on the market has increased substantially due to the housing uncertainty. It has become a “Buyer’s Market” after many years of Sellers being able to virtually set their own price.
The sales slump has been made worse due to the difficulty many buyers now face in getting a mortgage, and rising rates.
Don’t Despair! We Can Help!
There are three critical things you must do to sell your house now, in a very tough market, and to sell it for the highest possible price.
You must price it right.
You must show it right.
And you must market it right.
We are experts at all three.
Contrary to what many home sellers believe, it takes an expert to calculate how to price a home correctly, help you make the needed changes to appeal buyers through home staging, and come up with a strategy to market your home to sell fast.
Most Realtors and home sellers mistakenly believe that simply researching what houses in the local area have sold for recently is the best way to price a house.
But this is only the starting point! Stopping here can leave your house on the market - unsold - for many many months. Desperate to sell, you will then find yourself constantly chasing the market down in a race with declining prices, as you keep dropping and dropping your asking price in tune with a declining market.
It takes a broader expertise and analytical tools to review trends and forecasts, mortgage issues, credit factors, and more - to determine where the market is going - not where it has been. Only then can a house be priced correctly to catch the market now - and to sell at a fair price now - before delays force you to reduce your price further and further.
And once we price your home correctly, we must market it and promote aggressively to encourage a sale now.
Virtually all Realtors use the same limited and ineffective methods to market property, including MLS listings, ads, maybe a few mailings and perhaps - if they are web savvy, some online listings. There’s nothing wrong with these methods - except that thousands of other agents and home sellers are doing the same things at the same time. Your home will get lost in a vast ocean of listings and promotions.
We do much more. And we do it differently.
For us, all the traditional methods for marketing your home are just the beginning.
