5 Effective Tips For Selling Your Home Fast In A Slow Housing Market

Sometimes the housing market can slow down to a snail’s pace. During these times – even with relentless marketing and advertising – it seems like it is close to impossible to sell your home. So, do you wait a few years until the market picks up again and rent your home in the meantime, or do you trudge along? The truth is that there are countless measures you can take to make your home more sellable, so that you can get it off the market and off your hands in a much shorter amount of time. Here are five effective tips for selling your home fast in a slow housing market.

List the home slightly below market value. If the housing market is going through a downswing, you may want to bite the bullet and list your home for lower than it’s worth. This may be tough, but it may also be the smartest move. If you are in a precarious situation and need to move your home fast, lowering the offering price will attract many more buyers looking for scavenger deals on properties.

How To Determine The Right List Price For Your Home

Although the real estate market is certainly more stable than it’s been over the past several years, it’s still pretty tough. So if you happen to be someone who is thinking about putting your house on the market, it’s going to require some savvy and know-how in order to get your house to move fast and for you to make a good profit. In the efforts to help you do both, one thing that you have to do is determine the right list price for your home.

If you’re not quite sure about what all of that entails, this is a great article for you to read because we actually have five things that we feel will assist you in coming to the right asking price for your home below:

Get your home appraised. You might think that your house is the best thing ever but when prospective buyers are walking through the rooms of your house, they are going to want to get more than your opinion. This is why it’s important to hire someone to come over and appraise your home. It will give you a factual estimate of what your house is actually worth.

Look at it from a “local” perspective. Even if you and someone you know have extremely similar houses, including the floor plans, if you both happen to live in different states you can’t really compare the value of the houses. That’s because each market varies from state to state. So as you’re looking to get a general idea of how the real estate market is doing in order to figure out what to charge for your own house, narrow it down to the areas where you live; that will offer you a more accurate assessment.

This is what you need to understand because real estate is not all about flipping these days, there is a long term approach to it as well.

Is Home Staging Worth It?

We recently went through the process of selling our home. When we met with our real estate agent he introduced us to the idea of hiring someone to stage our home in order to make it more appealing to buyers. This was a new concept for us. Our agent referred us to a home stager who then came to our home and gave us some great tips on how to paint the interior of our home and how to fix up our kitchen. Her advice was invaluable and we did what she recommended. Rather than struggling to figure out what colors to paint each room and how to redo our kitchen cupboards, her professional eye and her experience allowed her to give us great suggestions within just a few minutes of seeing our place.

Why We Hired A Real Estate Agent To Sell Our Home

My husband and I recently sold our home and beforehand we had had a hard time deciding whether or not we should hire a real estate agent. We knew that we would have to ask for more if we hired an agent, as we would want to recoup the commission costs.

We looked into various options for selling our home privately including using Com-Free and decided that with working full time it just wouldn’t be worth the stress. We decided to hire a professional to do the work for us and hope for the best. We knew it would be so much easier even if it would end up costing us more. Sometimes it’s worth the extra money.
