Home Seller Tips: Going it alone??

It might be tempting to save some money by trying to sell your house on your own, but consider this: almost one third of all sales come from agent-to-agent or past client referrals. 

This Month in Real Estate: March 2013

According to KW research almost half of sellers who price their house according to their real estate agents' interpretation of its market value sold almost twice as fast and for more money than the competition. 
If you're selling your house, the idea of pricing high to test the waters might sound appealing. But if your house is priced too high, you may be highlighting for buyers what a steal the house down the street is.

Home Buyer Tips: Low Down Payment

Good news!!  If you are a first-time homebuyer, you may not need a 20% down payment.  According to a recent survey, nearly 75% of first time buyers only put down 3.5% or less.  Of course, with interest rates still low, now is a great time to buy!  Contact your mortgage professional for your situation; then give us a call to help get you started.   Check out this video for more info:

Why Now is a Great Time to Sell Your Home

Some interesting statistics out now explain it best....Don't wait until Spring!  NOW really is the time to sell your home.  For starters, 89% of all homebuyers start their search on the internet and catering to those buyers will give you a jump on those sellers waiting until Spring.  When there are fewer houses on the market, those that are priced right and staged well will stand out even more.  On average, it takes about 12 weeks to sell a home, so those listed right now are in a better position to market to buyers looking to buy now and close in the Spring.  Check out the video below for more information:

Jumping Home Sales and Why Buying is REALLY Better Than Renting

Interest rates are starting to climb and now we're hearing talk of that ugly word...inflation!  And believe me, once inflation starts increasing, the rates are going to go up right along with it.  With the holidays literally right around the corner, NOW really is the time to buy.  Interest rates are still low and there is fewer competition.  And if you're currently renting, this means even more for you!

Why Some Houses Sit While Others Sell

I did a post on this a few months ago, but thought it was worth revisiting.  Pricing is critical.  Especially in today's market, pricing can either bring you many showings but no offers (bleh!), send you multiple offers from multiple buyers (which is ideal!), or it can put your home out of consideration all together (bad!!).  In simple terms, houses that are priced well and in good condition sell. Houses that aren't...sit...and sit...and sit.  And I make sure my clients understand this.  I'd rather be upfront and honest, than tell them what they want to hear.

Check out this short video to see how a successful pricing strategy will make your house stand out from the crowd.
