Sales were a bit off from June as you will see when I post my graphs tomorrow.
Buyers: now is a good time to get in the market, there are plenty of homes to choose from and lots have been on the market a long time, especially condos.
Sellers: There is a lot of competition right now and if you don’t want your home to sit on the market without an offer here are a few bits of Advise:
- Price your home right, have your real estate agent do a CMA and price your home aggressively, that is in the lower range of similar homes if you want a quick sale
- Hava a pre-inspection done to your home and fix any problems
- Give your home curb appeal
- Offer a Home Warranty if it is an older home
- Get rid of clutter, start clearing out your things, even if you have to put them in storage.
- Think about staging your home, get advise from a staging professional or at least your agent.
