How to Sell in a Competitive Market

When selling your home, you want to get the best deal. We have some tips to help you get top dollar.

1. Don’t get greedy. Waiting too long to sell your home can actually cause a 7-10% decrease in sales. The best time to sell is within the first 30 days. A home that sits too long on the market can really be stigmatized. 
    
2. If trading up, move fast. If you are buying a larger home with a bigger price tag it’s important to avoid appreciation and buy the home quickly. Inversely, if you are downsizing, you can move slower in the process to earn more money.
   
   
3. Curb appeal. Ninety percent of buyers look at a home online first. If the home is not appealing, they will not visit. Make sure all structural issues are taken care of, the carpet and walls are cleaned, etc. All of this should be done before the home is put on the market.
   
   
4. Guard against low appraisals. It is important to get an experienced agent who can provide good, valid comparables.

These are the steps we are taking in working with our sellers.
