Mr. Seller have you been asking yourself "when is the right time to sell?" Every sellers goals and motives are unique individually and what may be good for one seller is not good for another. It is important to evaluate your goals, the market, interview agents and focus on YOUR needs as a seller specifically to determine if it is the right time for you!
The next question you probably ask is "Is it the right time of year for me to sell?" Again this is an individual specific question (this is where it is important to find a knowledgeable local agent) depending on your goals. But don't let the thought of Fall and winter deter you. It is not a bad time to put your home on the market if you are realistic in your pricing. There are generally fewer homes on the market; therefore buyers have fewer choices.Your home tends to be shown more because there are fewer choices which increases your chances of being seen and sold. Again a local knowledgeable real estate agent is vital.
Fall and winter also seem to bring out serious buyers whereas the other seasons mix a lot of "lookie loo's" if you will, or 2nd home buyers who do not NEED to buy. Your home tends to be shown in the worst weather as well which is not a bad thing - it gives the buyer the worst up front. If they are traipsing through rain and snow to see your home, they are pretty serious.
Our local area is currently experiencing a Buyers market. Here are some things to consider when selling in this type of market.
Selling in a Buyers Market - Again your goals need to be evaluated and quite possibly this may NOT be the best time for you to sell depending on specifics in your neighborhood and your goals. I offer a FREE Market Analysis of your home specifically, to help you determine that.
A buyers market is heavy on housing inventory for sale making competition tough. Again with so many choices on the market, the buyers will not hesitate to make an offer on a lesser priced home that fits theirs needs as well as yours would if you are not the best priced. They will cross the street for a better price!
Price, curb appeal and condition of the home have to be top notch and spit shined. You have got to beat . It is s your PRICE that is going to drive that buyer to your door. You have to be the better value. Unfortunately it isn't about YOU; It's about the home's price and the buyer. The buyer does not care what you NEED, they only care to pay what they feel the house is worth to them. Your local agent is the perfect person to discuss where you need to be priced to get the job done for the most value in the least amount of time.
Gas prices are a perfect example of pricing right. If the two gas stations are close in price, you will probably not go out of your way to get to the one that might be a penny or a nickel or even a dime cheaper. There has to be a substantial, motivational difference and reason (Price) to entice the consumer to cross over the road, or make that left hand turn to purchase their gas. I am probably not going to cross the road for a nickel. A dime I might consider it depending on the time of day. Now a considerable difference - I will wait in the middle of commuting traffic if I have to. We'll find that gas station usually even if it means driving around the block to get to it! Buyers will do the same. they'll change neighborhoods even if it still fits their needs. They will make compromises for a better deal.
As a seller you have a lot of emotion attached to your home. You need to step back and look at the sale of your home as a business decision (which can be difficult to do as a seller) and leave the emotion in the cedar chest. This is also where using a local agent can be extremely helpful so that they are dealing with the emotions of the buyers and details - not you. Everyone is unique and something you see as an added value (a hot tub for instance) may not be in another persons' eyes.
Selling your home and living in your home are two totally different things. Selling your home is a business decision. If you make the decision to sell do so with knowledge of the current market and the best techniques, tools and the best agent you can find around. You have heard of the saying of surrounding yourself with successful people and you will succeed? Surround yourself with a successful agent and company. If you have questions or would like more information, please give me a call or drop me a line .Again, I offer a FREE NO OBLIGATION MARKET ANALYSIS with timely updates. I love to share information about our market and local community! Let's talk about whether it is the right time for YOU to sell.
