4. Today’s Market Conditions
It is important to price your home competitively from the start and to sell fast
before another home similar to yours goes on the market for less money.
Although there are many incentives such as the 1st time buyer tax credit and
historically low interest rates, most buyers do not find urgency in today’s
market. They feel that if they do not get your home, there will be another one
like it next week and it may even be a lower price. It is also important to have
the buyers get their appraisal done quickly as we are still in a declining market
and need that value to come in at the price that the buyer and seller agree on or
the buyer can not get their loan. With all the short sales and bank owned
properties used for the appraisal, selling your home fast is crucial.
Homes That Sell Fast Have This In Common:
• Priced Competitively: I will show you what the last sold was so you know
what price will be used in an appraisal. What is pending so you know what
someone currently made an offer on and found value in. What is currently
active and if you should price yours competitive to that.
• Good Condition: I work with a lot of buyers and will let you know what
upgrades and colors they are attracted to. Most important is they want
something move in ready. They don’t want to put money into anything in-
cluding a pool or landscape. 1st impressions are everything so all should be
in working order.
• Shows Well: It is important to make the home available to show. I will
place a lockbox that is secure and records who is going in and out. Get calls
off of the sign when driving by. I will give you tips on how to stage.
• Desirable Location: Below are locations that are of more value to buyers.
The locations below will set you apart from the rest:
• Scenic Views (Golf Course, Greenbelt, etc.)
• Quiet & Private
• Cul-de-sac
• Single Story

6. Preparing Your Home For Sale
• First Impressions Are Extremely Important. Many buyers will not even
get out of the car unless their first impression is positive. This means that
you should have the landscaping neatly trimmed, the leaves raked, the lawn
mowed, the paint on the front of the house and any visible window
treatments looking nice. All of this will make a favorable ‘first impression’.
• Do Minor Decorating For A Fast Sale. Buyers would rather know how
good their home can look instead of guessing at the possible potential.
Faded paint, dirty drapes, peeling wallpaper, etc., lessen the appeal of your
home. Show them how good it can be!
• Darkness Promotes Negative Feelings. Light and airy homes appeal to
buyers. So, turn on lights, open drapes and shutters, and ‘let there be light’!
• All Those Little Things You Meant To Fix… are going to bother the po-
tential buyers as well. And, it will make them wonder if there are other
things they can’t see that may need attention. Fix those dripping faucets,
sticky doors, and find the missing handles!
• Clutter Is Out, Space Is In! You don’t have to take all of your furniture
out, but if you have a room full of clutter, get it cleaned up and make rooms
appear larger. A nest home without excessive furniture shows much larger.
• Kitchen & Bathrooms Are Critical. These two rooms in your home can
make the sale because they are expensive to replace. Make these rooms
shine and show their best! Wax the floors clean off the counters, and make
these easily scrutinized rooms attractive to the buyer.
• Lots Of People, Loud Music & Unpleasant Odors or Pets can ruin the
emotional appeal of your home by distracting the buyers from their true
purpose.
