You Can Sell your Home in a Declining Market
www.DeanGraziosi.com/ Regardless of what you have heard on the evening news, home buying has not come to a complete standstill. In fact, there are many eager homebuyers just waiting for the right deal to come along. Therefore, your job as a seller is to make your home as appealing as possible when it comes to looks, price and terms.
Step One
Before you even list your home, make sure that you have not neglected to do the necessary small repairs around the home. It goes without being said that potential buyers make assumptions, and if you have not even attended to the cheap repairs, they will never trust that the important things have been well-kept. This also applies to real estate investors looking to sell, flip or rent a property.
Step Two
There is no better time to de-clutter your home than before you list it on the market. In fact, if you can afford to utilize a professional home stager, by all means do so. Buyers are looking for the most bang for their buck, especially in today’s economy, so you want to make your home as spacious as possible.
Step Three
Step three involves practicing due diligence. In other words, do your research and make sure that your home is not only priced fairly, but in line with other home sales in the area. For real estate investors looking to flip a property, expect to walk away with a little less than you would have a few years ago. We are currently in a buyer’s market and that gives buyers the upper hand. If you want to sell your home, you are going to have to be willing to negotiate both on price and most importantly on terms. The bottom line is this-if you have the ability to be flexible, bend.
