Selling Your Home in Bucks County - A Recap of Best Practices to Sell Your Home

I used to say that selling a home in Bucks County was all about pricing and pictures. As I've been blogging more, I've adjusted that saying.

Selling a home in Bucks County is all about pricing and presentation. Just a little distinction on the second half of the equation, but the constant is pricing.

When you're selling your home in Bucks County, you need to have both pieces of the puzzle in place.

Pricing:

• Seller and Agent need to come up with a pricing plan. This should include analyzing the homes that have sold in the past 3 months.
• In this market, you should also take a look at the pending sales, since they may give you an early indicator of any dips in pricing.
• It also makes sense to take a look at your competing inventory. If you have 30 competing properties, you really need to tweak your pricing in order to get noticed and get people through the door. Click on this link to read some of my thoughts on pricing your home in a high-inventory market.

Presentation:

• You need to have good pictures of your home. Period.
• Your online marketing needs to be extensive, and you need to have accurate information and well written material available to Buyers who find your home online. How your online marketing looks is as important as where it is.
• Your house needs to show beautifully. That doesn't mean that everything has to be new (although I've written a ton of blogs on rehabbing on the cheap and staging). I means that what you have must be ruthlessly clean. Even if you are selling your house with children living in the home.
• Your print materials should look professional and be of good quality.
