I'm often asked that question. "What's selling in this area?" The simple short answer is that properties that are priced correctly are the ones that are selling. In this economic climate, buyers have more to choose from than ever. They are looking for a DEAL. Sellers are well advised to use every tool available to make their home stand out from the rest.
Pricing, presentation, location are the top factors that affect a property's success in selling. Choose a Realtor that will effectively market your home. Find a Realtor that is able to think outside the box. If your Realtor advises some "staging" to get your home sold, give that some strong consideration. Staging works. Staging is important, as it "stages" your home to look its best. The way your home presents itself to potential buyers is important. Does it look like a model home? Is it cluttered? Does it have too much furniture and look "crowded?"
Price, presentation and choosing the right Realtor is crucial in getting your property sold in today's market.
