The Federal government leads us to believe that housing sales (number of units, not prices)will be up at least until April of 2010.  But, the Fed, along with other experts, have expressed fear that home sales will dry up after early spring, when the homebuyer tax credits expire and the Federal Reserve ends their policies that are keeping loan rates cheap for borrowers.  (Click here to Read the short article.)

What can you Learn from Foresight vs Hindsight this Year?

1. To make the most money in 2010…Get your house clean, cleaned out, staged and priced to sell NOW.
2. Do not wait until Spring is here to put your home on the market.  Do it NOW!
3. 90 percent of all home buyers shop on the internet, not newspapers, local or otherwise.  If you aren’t marketing your property on all major websites for real estate, buyers will not find your home.  There are simply too many homes for sale and buyer’s will not any waste time ferretting out information or for obscurely advertised property.
4. Use photographs and video’s to show and sell your home.   Add in video or snapshots of the neighborhood, nearby shopping, parks or attractions.   Pictures, and especially video, create interest and a glimpse of lifestyle that buyers crave.
5. Sell it yourself, but enlist the help of buyers agents.  Buyer’s agents use the MLS to find property for their clients.  Advertise on the MLS and offer up some commission to them, if they bring you their buyers!  Bonus: If you list your home on the MLS, it will immediately stop all annoying listing calls, too.
