Attention Waco Home Sellers!

Do you need to sell your Waco, China Spring, Hewitt, Woodway or surrounding area home?

Have you heard all the gloom and doom and don't know whom or what to believe? Please understand that what you may be hearing or seeing in the media or even from your neighbor next door, may NOT be accurate information.

  • Did you know that some of the best listings may not even stay on the market for one day? Yes, even in this market.
  • Did you also know that some listings stay on the market for more than a year even in great selling markets?

So what is the secret to quick sale even in a buyer's market? I am here to help you solve that mystery.

Homes are still selling in the Waco area and it's important for you to know what and why homes are selling besides local market conditions. I can tell you right up front that pricing your home appropriately is essential. Does that mean giving it away? Absolutely not! It means pricing it right to match the current market, condition, location and other crucial factors.

I am a Waco Area Listing Specialist who stays current with market trends and uses the Internet aggressively to ensure homes proper marketing exposure.

I do not rely on cheesy or gimmicky advertising techniques to gain business. I rely on straight talk even if it is less than wonderful to hear. I am in this to help you sell your home, not to help your home sit. If you want a professional that is serious about helping YOU, contact me today for your FREE initial Home Selling Consultation.

FYI--As of this day, I am the ONLY Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) and 1 out of only 4 e-Pros in the Waco area. I am dedicated and focused on getting homes sold!

Waco TX Real Estate--Residential Snapshot, January 1 2008

HAPPY NEW YEAR WACOANS!

Time to review the past month's residential sales. Sure, it's a traditionally "slow" time of year for real estate, but not so gloomy here in Waco.

On a positive note, Median Home Sales price is actually higher than this time last year. Not only that, our inventory is slowly but steadily decreasing.

However, Average Days on Market have increased slightly from last year and last month and the actual number of units sold have also decreased a bit. Nothing too shocking here but nothing too be alarmed about either.

The real KEY here is that REAL ESTATE really IS LOCAL even as local as neighborhood to neighborhood. I am sure you have heard that before, but please pay close attention to what that really means. It means that NOT EVERY area of the country is suffering. And certainly not many areas of Waco. You have to understand more than just Waco, you have to also understand each neighborhood, zip code, and even street before you understand what's REALLY happening.

Consultation with a Real Estate Professional allows you some of the most up-to-date, accurate information about your area real estate that you can possibly find. Without good information, it's very difficult to enter into ANY type of transaction. GET YOUR facts and figures straight, don't make assumptions based on media hype. Then buy or sell confidently without regret.

I wish EVERYONE the most PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR EVER!
