Increase the Odds of Selling Your Home... Look at the Numbers.

Relevant points for Sellers in Haywood County, North Carolina:

  • Your home must be priced for today's local market.
  • Is this the best time to sell your house if you do not have to? No.
  • Is this a good time to buy a house? Yes.
  • If you sell your house now for less than you had hoped for, you will probably pay much less for your new house, depending on where you are moving and when you buy.
  • If your house needs work done after someone buys it, and another home priced in the same price range does not need anything done to it, guess which one will sell first...

Here are the active listings today in Maggie Valley and Waynesville, broken out by price range. Price your home in the range with the fewest options closest to your selling range, if at all possible, to increase your odds. For instance, instead of $209,900, $199,900 will increase your odds.

Hi Susie, sorry it has been a few days and several post I missed commenting on. I will catch up. I liked this post. The second bullet point about selling. I would answer that a yes and a no. Yes, if you are going to be buying a new home because you will benefit ( as you mentioned elsewhere in the post) and then No, if you don't have to sell and you are not going to take advantage of the lower sales prices in another home. That makes the message really really clear. Good post and I have some more that I need to comment on. I will be back on commenting tonight. I have 50 or so responses that I need to get out,:-) on my post. I love to be featured but it sure is a lot of work to read the comments and then respond,lol. I should complain, right? Actually thrilled that I have the problem to deal with.

Good advice to non-serious sellers. There are too many people who are desperate to sell. Having so many listings clogging the market, when half of them don't really need to sell, is causing others to lose their homes! Non-serious sellers really need to take this seriously.

Good tips Susie... Has your market area picked up any?

Certainly if you're selling and buying in the same market at the same price or higher, it's a good time to buy. What you "lose" on the sale, you'll more than gain on the buy.
