This is a tough market, home prices are down, it’s a buyer’s market… these are just some of the things we are hearing these days. Most homeowners are upside down in the home- they owe more than what the home is worth, which means that there is a chance that they will need to bring money to closing.
It’s true that homes are taking longer to sell than in the past but homes are selling. If you absolutely have to sell, then you must be realistic about the market. No matter what you think your home is worth, if buyers aren’t willing to pay what you’re asking, then you run the risk of your home not selling. The reality is that right now, buyers are determining what the market is doing.
Price is usually the main reason why a home either sells or doesn’t. If you over price then your house will sit while more reasonably priced homes sell. The longer your home sits, buyers & agents begin to question if there is something wrong with your home. Your home becomes & ‘stale’ & you may end up taking less than you anticipated.
Your home must be in pristine condition to get your asking price. Even if you are not in the position to put any more money into your home, you can certainly make sure that it’s clean, organized & smelling good. Remove any clutter, excess furniture & personal affects. Wipe down walls, baseboards, door jams & electrical plates. Clean, neat & crisp is the name of the game!
Incentives may influence homebuyers to purchase your home. Consider offering a home warranty to help ease buyer’s remorse. If you’re able, offer to help w/closing costs. Hire a Realtor w/a proven marketing plan. http://www.ninajmayberry.callcarpenter.com/pages/home-marketing-system-selling-an-indiana-home
