Consideration of Current Market Conditions for your home:
Are home prices in your area trending upwards or downwards?
Are homes selling quickly or languishing?
Will your home be on the market in the spring home-buying season or the dead of winter?
What are current interest rates for mortgages?
Will you be selling in a Buyers or a Sellers market?
Is the local job market strong or are employees fearful of staff reductions?
How motivated are you for a quick sale?
Is it necessary for you as Seller to provide “incentives” such as a “pre-home sale” inspection, Home Buyers Warranty, financing assistance, Selling Agent bonuses? Many of these factors will be weighed in the First Step in marketing your Home – STEP 3 Determining the Listing Price.
Setting the Stage to Sell your Home:
Consider what you look for when looking for a home to purchase – Visual appearance, odors and noise all factor into your impression. Imagine yourself walking up to your home as though for “the first time”:
What do you notice?
How do you feel about what you see?
Is the home inviting?
Is the home well-maintained?
Would you be inclined to buy this home?
