Waco CMA Summary Report

300 people put their homes on the market with a Realtor since January 1st, 2008. A lot of listings, don't you think? I do. You will notice on listing sold in 18 days and it was in Woodway on Ramada. 16 Realtors were able to get their listings under contract with an average days on the market for 8 days. Let's hope the loans close and see if next month will be better. Do you think the lowered interest rate, helped. As you look at this information notice that 3 of these home sellers decided not to sell. So you home buyers give us Waco Area Realtors a call. You have a lot of homes to choose from. In fact you have 280 fresh (less than 30 days) listings for sale in the greater Waco Area.

The information for this report is deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.

Simple Tip

Before hiring a Realtor®, do yourself a favor. Write a list of what you expect of your Realtor®, and then interview the Realtor according to your list.

Having an open conversation about your expectations and listening to what your Realtor® expects as well will greatly reduce the possibility of miscommunications and problems.

And if you find that you are on a completely different page, what better time to find that out than BEFORE you list your home.

If you are thinking of selling your Waco Home, write your list and give me a call. I would love to have an open, straight forward conversation with you about selling your home.

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!
