Timing is Everything, when attempting to catch a fish in your mouth or selling a home.  Home Seller’s take note.  Several factors have converged to make this the TIME to Sell! 

Spring is here.  Tax incentives, low interest rates and deep discounts on home prices have buyer’s jumping off the fence to buy a home.   The question is “Are You Doing What it Takes to Sell a home in this Market?”.

Learn the 4 Mistakes That Prevent Home Sales

#4:  Not Using Effective Marketing and Advertising.   Simply put, people can not buy your home if they don’t know it is for sale.   Forget print advertising. 95 percent of home buyer’s shop on the internet, so you have to maximize its power.  Use a lot of photographs to showcase your home, buyers love photo’s more than anything else when they shop for a home.   Video tours are also great sales tools that expose your property to a whole new audience. 

#3:  Trouble Making Appointments to Show:  When a seller has trouble making his home accessible for showings, it is very likely that the buyer will move on to the next house and never look back.  It is imperitive that your home is available to be shown in a moments notice.  There are simply too many homes on the market for buyer’s to choose from.  They are ready to buy now, they will not wait on you.

#2:  Home is Not in “For Sale” Condition:  As a rule, buyer’s form a first impression about a house in 60 seconds.  If your home doesn’t appear neat, clean and cared for, buyers will walk.   And, if you have an interested buyer, don’t forget that will insist on a home inspection.  Fix problems and address delayed maintanence issues or risk stopping your sale in its tracks. 

#1:  Incorrectly Pricing Your Home:  If your home is overpriced, you will drive away buyer’s.  A high inventory of unsold homes means that buyer’s have plenty of choices.   And, the internet allows buyer’s to see what people paid for houses similar to yours.  Most buyers instantly know when a piece of real estate priced incorrectly.  If yours is, buyer’s will simply refuse to look at it, at all.
