Home Selling Success

Having a Tough Time Selling in This Market?

Here are some tips to keep in mind to ensure your home will have more interest and bites and eventually an offer.

  • Stay Educated

Stay informed about the Moses Lake real estate market. Find out about the recent sold homes in your neighborhood.  Was a house sold really cheap? If so, it could have been parents selling to their children or a  bank-owned Foreclosure. Understanding your market is a huge key when Buyers strive to use other comparable sales against you in negotiating. Know what is going on in the Moses Lake real estate market and your own neighborhood.

  • Be Realistic on the Price

The best advice to sell quickley is to price your home 1-2% less than similar homes in your area to help attract Buyers. The higher your price is over comparable homes in your area, the longer it will sit on the market. This is a buyers market and to compete you have to go lower than the lowest comparable to beat it. There are more homes on the market today than ever before, and if your price is a little high, it may not even be looked at.

  • Find a GREAT Agent

 This is not only an assumed tip, it is absolutely invaluable. Consider my Southern Idaho real estate affiliate and their article on selling with an agent to find out more on why this is crucial! Ask the right questions on how long they have sold houses? How many a year do they sell? What is their listing price to selling price ratio? Having an experienced and agressive agent on your side can help market and sell your home effectively.

  • Consider paying the buyer's closing costs:

   Paying the Buyers closing costs is a great incentive you can offer a buyer, especially with the tougher lending guidelines. Buyers have a hard enough time getting loans in today's market and any help you can assist them with makes your home become more attractive. 

 Closing costs include:

  • Appraisal
  • Loan points
  • Credit report
  • Title insurance
  • Homeowners insurance
  • Closing fees

Having these paid for takes a huge burden off the buyer and it really makes them considering closing the deal with you than a seller who is not.

  • Virtual Tours and Additional Advertising

Even though your agent (A really great one!) will do all this for you, remind them to advertise on sites such as Craigslist.org, Google and other real estate sites for added exposure nation wide to your listing. Print advertising in military locations may be a great idea for those returning to the area.
