The trouble is most homeowners think their house is worth more than market forces can sustain. Having guidelines for listing can really help. For example‚ arrange to have a Confidential Market Analysis (CMA) performed by two independent real estate agents. It is suggested that you should list the home for no more then 105% of the average of the two CMA’s. After the home has been on the market for 30 days it should be reevaluated. Have there been any offers? If not‚ counterproductive. Experts say you should make the cut significant enough to be noticed. Staging Staging starts before marketing even begins. You should take this time to fix a minor repairs that need to be done. There is no need to renovate‚ but the property should be revamped and neutralized. The idea is to create a home that is appealing to everyone’s tastes‚ not just the current homeowners. Replace old worn-out green carpeting with new beige carpeting. Freshen up the walls with new paint in either white or another neutral tone. Get rid of clutter and as many personal touches as possible. When potential buyers go into a house they will try to envision it as their own. That can be hard to do when there are too many family photos around. Clean up entry ways‚ and maximize curb appeal. This includes everything from making sure your house number is clearly visible at any time of the day‚ to sprucing up your front landscaping. Lastly‚ staging is not limited to just the house. When selling a home‚ sell the community‚ its neighbors and schools‚ etc. Consider writing a seller’s letter that answers any anticipated questions about the house and neighborhood. In this letter you should include the fact that the move is for a new job‚ and that otherwise the family would be happy to stay in the home for many more years to come. Include all this information in the home’s marketing materials. Buyers Incentives Offering incentives can help to entice buyers and their agents to view the property and hopefully make an offer. Incentives can include paying the real estate taxes for one year‚ paying closing costs‚ offering a redecorating allowance‚ and paying discount points to lower the mortgage rate. Some other creative incentives include a rider mower if the house has a large yard or a snow blower if the house is located in a city where winters are extreme. Don’t forget about the buyer’s agent either; offer a premium like an added point to their commission. Sell vs. Rent Analysis and Education In some parts of the country‚ home owners have seen dramatic drops in real estate equity. One example is the Phoenix metro area where a home purchased two years ago for $540‚000 has a current market value of $270‚000. Few home owners can afford a $270‚000 loss. Most companies would be averse to covering a loss on sale of that magnitude. In such cases‚ try a more suitable option for riding out the current financial storm by considering renting your current home. You can use a property management company that can take away the stress of being a landlord. By renting the home you are able to make your mortgage payments each month‚ and the hiring authority avoids either paying for duplicate housing or making a large loss on sale payment. Other Helpful Hints When listing the property highlight all the upgrades that have been made to it. The seller may be aware that those granite counter tops were an extra $6‚000‚ but the prospective buyer likely has no idea. Highlighting these features will give the home added value. Keep the listing and marketing materials fresh. Buyers are checking out the listings everyday. Update the pictures regularly; something as simple as taking a picture of the backyard from a different angle can make a big difference. When hosting an open house take advantage of all the senses‚ not just sight. Have an apple pie or chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven‚ it is a warm and welcoming scent that will remind prospective buyers of being “home”. |
