3 different listings-and it finally sells. What was the difference?

In just 79 days, this listing in Goose Creek, SC went UNDER CONTRACT after being on the market for 10 months between 2 other listings.

We listed the house about $2500 higher than where the last listing ended the price. How can this be?? Why would you increase the price of a house that isn't selling?

PRESENTATION! After reviewing the previous listings, we realized that the house was not marketable in its current condition given the new construction competition. While not all sellers can afford to make improvements to the property, this seller was happy to do so. He just needed to know what to do!!

The seller listened to our recommendations, repainted a very red dining room, staged the property, had a deep clean and did some landscaping. The cost equaled about 1% of the listing price for the improvements.

And viola! In 79 days, we had two 2^nd showings and 3 offers and 1 ratified contract.

So what was the difference?! The presentation. See for yourself in 2 example photos showing the difference between the occupied house, vacant house and staged house.

Next time you have a listing, please consider staging to make a difference in the sale of your home!

Buying Tip:

From the Home Buyer’s perspective, there are 4 Big Reasons Why you should Buy in the next 3 months:

1.) Low Interest Rates

2.) First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit – FREE $$$$$

3.) Low Home Prices

4.) Lots of Home For Sale

In the next 3 months, the low interest rates will start rise due to the government discontinuing their mortgage buying program and deadline eligibility for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit will run out at the end of April.

By not taking advantage of the low interest rates and the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, you are literally missing out on thousands of dollars.

Selling TIP:

From the Home Seller’s Perspective, here are the 3 Big Reasons Why you should try to Sell in the next 3 months:

1.) Serious Home Buyers are going to Buy Now

2.) Inventory of Homes on the market is expected to grow (i.e. spring market & Foreclosures)

3.) Home Prices may continue to trend downward

Many active home buyers, if they are serious will take advantage of the low interest rates and the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit.

In my opinion, those home buyers who were not very serious may decide not to buy due to higher interest rates and the eligibility for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit runs out.

By waiting to sell later this year and with the possibility of home prices going lower, you potentially could stay on the market much longer and sell for a lower price than right now.

Goose Creek Real Estate - Goose Creek South Carolina is a suburb city of Charleston SC. The real estate market in the Metro Charleston area has seen a decline in recent years, as has most of the country, but overall the market has stayed pretty sound. I say sound because the last few years has been the effect of the market balancing itself from the real estate bubble that occurred during the mid years of this decade.

The chart below shows the rise and fall of homes sold during 2009 in Goose Creek, SC. The year started off extraordinarily slow but with government incentives for first time home buyers the year ended strong, save December. The primary culprits for the low home sale numbers throughout the year included higher unemployment and tighter lending guidelines.

The next chart gives a big picture of the Goose Creek housing market from 2002 - 2009. Home sales began to escalate in the first part of the decade with a peek in 2006. Although home sales began to decline in 2007, home prices have only seen a modest decline in comparison to most of the other country. Why? According to Jeannine Cataldi, a senior economist at IHS Global Insight, "They (Charleston) didn't have such a big run-up, and they have a diverse economic base that enabled them (home prices) to stay stable."
