Preparing to sell

Sellers,

Your realtor will have a very good idea of what condition your home should be in to receive top dollar from the market. Also, your real estate professional will provide comparable sold properties to assist in pricing. Selling your home is a 2 way street. The agent markets your home to potential buyers, but the seller needs to follow the agents advice in home staging to get a fast, good price offer.

The better condition and price your home has will generate a much better response from potential buyers.

Winter Months

Hello one and all, Remember,

The winter months are still good for buyers as most home sellers are more anxious and tend to reduce price or negotiate a lower price more quickly in these winter moths to come. Also, good for sellers as the buyers are more serious during the winter time.

Do not forget to have vacant properties winterized for your and the pipes protection.

Todays Real Estate Market

We all are concerned with the current real estate market and will our home values ever recover?

The answer to this question is complex, but first and foremost job creation will stimulate a long lasting recovery. That is not temp or part-time positions, but a full time employment.

Current interest rates are very good and in fact as good as they were over 40 years ago. Yet homes are declining in value and market time is high. How do we remedy this?

Our total economy needs to be turned around first with job stability, job creation and a feeling from each and everyone of us that our job is secure. One does not venture out to get a bigger more expensive home, or purchase there first home unless they feel secure about our economy and their personal growth potential and value to their current employer.
