Incorrectly Pricing Your Home!

When you are getting ready to put your property on the market, there is a myriad of things to think about, to prepare for, and to organize. Here is a short list of some of the pitfalls to watch out for.

Deadly Mistake Number # 1

Incorrectly Pricing Your Home

Every seller wants to net as much money as possible when selling their home. Unfortunately, a listing price that is too high often gets the seller less than a listing priced at market value. If your house is not priced competitively, people looking in your price range will reject your house in favor of other larger homes for the same price.

At the same time, the people who should be looking at your house will not see it because it is priced over their heads. Overpricing usually increases the time on the market and that adds to the seller's carrying costs. Ultimately, many overpriced properties sell below market value.

Once you understand the principles of pricing your home, you will know how to sell your house for the best price. To help you avoid costly mistakes related to pricing your home… just call our office at 704-564-0807 and we will deliver to you a FREE Market Evaluation of your home.

10 Biggest Selling Myths

10 Biggest Selling Myths Uncovered

Selling a house can be a bit like having a baby -- everyone gives you advice that may or may not be true for you. Here are ten myths uncovered:
1. Myth: You should always price your home high and gradually lower it if it doesn’t sell.
Truth: Pricing too high can be as bad as pricing too low.
You may think by listing high you can always accept a lower offer, but if you do, you'll miss the buyers looking in the price range where your home should be. Offers may not even come in, because interested buyers are scared off by the price and won't bother to look. By the time the listing price is corrected, you will have lost a large group of potential buyers. Your real estate agent will offer you a comparable market analysis. This is a document that compares your home to other similar homes in your area, with the goal of helping you to accurately assess your home's true market value.

The Holidays: A Great Time to Buy or Sell

 

The Holidays: A Great Time to Buy or Sell!

Mortgage rates are at a low 5% and if you have been considering moving out of your apartment, or into a new home, this is the time to do it!

"But..." you say, "it's the holidays!" Yes, it is, and despite the fact that this is traditionally considered a slow time for real estate transactions, I am here to tell you that this might be the best time to buy...or sell a home.

Families are busy this time of year, no doubt. But because of job change, or other life event, moving in December or January may just be something that has to happen. And this could be a great thing! With the current high inventory of homes on the market in Charlotte and elsewhere, the buyer has many options to choose from, and the potential ability to move in quickly to a house that they get a great price on...and a great rate. Many buyers take the months of December and January off from looking, because they are moving from areas where the weather is cold and snowy and won't be able to sell their homes. But not here in Charlotte! And so if you have already sold your home or currently live in a warmer location, selling should be easier for you at this time of year.

Which brings me to the benefits to sellers...If you are selling a home at the holiday season, you likely have spent the time to decorate it, and make it "extra" nice. This is a great attractor to a potential buyer who will want that "home-for-the-holidays" feeling in a new home this time of year. Additionally, buyers looking in December and January are probably motivated buyers, looking at getting into a new home as soon as possible. If someone is taking the time away from family during the holidays, they are likely very interested in buying. So if your agent calls you to let you know there is a showing scheduled, it is well worth your time and effort.

It may seem like things stand still around the holidays, but there will always be buyers and sellers looking at moving. So if you are ready to buy a home, or sell a house, don't despair or "write off"  December and January... you may very well find a match.
