Homes are taking over 90 days on average to sell in our area. On an existing listing that was first posted in the spring, I decided to withdrawal the listing during a recent price change. The photos were changed, along with the description, the virtual tour, and the photos in our database. Because are closer to fall now than summer (can you believe its almost September?!) I really wanted a photo of the house with the trees in full bloom. Unfortanately that means you can't see the great architectural features of the exterior.

Here are the 2 photos. What do you think?

What a fabulous month July has been. Median home prices have increased and average market time decreased. Promising news as we continue into the 2009 selling season.

During a recent Sellers Consultation here are some pointers I suggested:

• Have a pre-inspection. Find problems and fix them BEFORE listing the home for sale.
• Consider a professional home stager. Statistics show homes sell significantly faster when staged.
• Hire a professional cleaner. Clean sells and it's cost effective in the long run.
• Price right. This is the biggie. The first 2 weeks are imperative. Price right and reduce as needed!
