The good new is everyone is now available to take the tax credits! The bad new is It is only available to you until April.
If you have been thinking about selling your home NOW is the time to put it on the Market! The average days on the Market in the Augusta Ga Real Estate market area are about 200. That is 9 months! And that is having your home in the best condition and PRICED to sell.
In today's Market you can not play the game of pricing to high and expecting to reduce the price if you don't price it correctly to begin with. You will actually sell for less than what a home priced correctly in the beginning will sell for.
If the average sale price is you neighborhood is $170,000 and your house has been upgraded with the new flooring and paint and corian counter tops DO NOT expect to sell your home quickly by pricing it higher (expecting your dollar for dollar return) than what has been selling. Home buyers are getting the most for there money and are not afraid to make a few upgrades themselves.
Be the best home at the best price and you will beat the average time on the market!
For more information about the correct pricing strategy for you Augusta Evans area home, call me today! Time is not on your side!

We met Marie when we were relocating to Georgia from Ohio. My wife and I had one weekend to find a place to live, and after an unsuccessful search Marie acted on our behalf locating and researching properties while we retuned to Ohio. We felt completely at ease trusting Marie to act on our behalf and made an offer on a house without physically seeing the property. The property is now our home, thanks to the tremendous effort on Marie's part going above and beyond what was expected or required. We thank Marie for our new home and for making our transition into our new life a little easier.
