My CMA says...Your home is worth....

Getting a property priced right is 90% of the marketing efforts of a successful real estate agent.

There is no amount of money an agent can spend on an over-priced property that can induce an educated home buyer to waste their precious time looking at a home that is way over priced for the location, condition or neighborhood.

Please believe me, today's buyers are doing their homework. They are reading about real estate markets, values and have more power that ever before,thanks to sites like this one, Zillow and the Internet in general. They are reading blogs, constantly hearing news reports and becoming educated before they make one of life's biggest purchasing decisions

The past three buyers I have had used me to help them narrow down their internet choices. They had a shopping list, I provided access and guidance. They had been shopping online for months.

We are in a declining market which means home values are continuing to drop.

At the same time we are in a protracted "buyer's market", which means supply is more that demand, an economic in-balance.

Both of these situations mean..lower prices.

If you need to sell do you want to hear the real odds of selling your home and what it will take? Perhaps you want the get the "rose colored glasses" price that probably will not work, but that's o.k., because "we can always come down". Time is money and if it's not priced right today, you probably will not get many showings if any. You have to have showings to generate offers.
