Sellers beware

Wednesday, 05 March 2008

If you thought pricing was important before. Buyers are looking for weaknesses in sellers. The biggest clue is always days on market and if they have dropped their price. If you overprice your house up front and it sits for 30,60 + days and then you start dropping to get buyers you have now just invited the bargin seekers in. They will come no where near your asking price and if you have to move the property you will be forced to sell below market value. How do you protect against this? First make sure the house is ready for viewing before you start marketing. Second the first 30 are the best possible chance of you selling your house so price your house to sell. Check out the competition and price your home below them. Don't let an over enthusiastic agent talk you you into putting a big price tag on you house becuase if it sits it will cost you thousands in the end. Remember a little discount now or a big one later. If you need some help with pricing and marketing of your home in the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Morrisville, Chapel Hill) give me a ring I will let know what the market value is and what is the best way to market your property.

The Triangle's Home Buying Resource Site:
An Agent's services and expertise are almost always FREE to Buyers, yet many do not take advantage of this valuable resource. Many Buyers prefer to read the ads, make the phone calls and do all the leg work themselves. In so doing, they risk tipping their hand to someone who's job is to get the Seller the highest possible price.
