Press Release Summary = SELLING YOUR HOME in a cooling market is stressful at best. In the past, headlines screamed of bidding wars and of homes moving off the market within days. These days have come and gone. Across the county, new home prices are now down slightly from one year ago. And many predict housing prices will fall farther before they\'re done.
Press Release Body = So if you plan to sell in the near future, Corey Wick shares some tips that will help you in your efforts.
1. Call a handyman to make sure everything is in working order. 2. Call a Real Estate Professional to help you analyze your local real-estate market . 3. Find out what\'s selling, what\'s not and why. 4. Finally, don\'t expect to get more for your house than your neighbor got a year ago. This is a different market, warns Corey Wick, real estate marketing professional at RE/MAX. Use recent sales data to price your home appropriately.
That said, can you still get a good price? Of Course. Here are some more tips to help you get top dollar for your house.
Price. The best form of marketing a home is all about price. Ironically, homeowners who ask more for their homes tend to get less in the end.
According to Wick, statistics reveal that if you price your home properly it will sell faster and at a higher price than if the home was priced aggressively. \"Overpricing leads to lower offers,\" Wick says. More showings equal more offers and higher priced homes get less showings.
Curb Appeal - First impressions are everything.
Renovations - Some renovations are worth an investment, especially bathroom and kitchen enhancements.
Fixing Things - Make sure your home is in working condition. Fix your air, closet doors, visible details. Even minor repairs are critical.
