Let me explain while the giggling subsides! Selling a home in Michigan these days is challenging. The truth is, people are still buying homes in Michigan at the same rate they always have. The difference is, of course the number of homes buyers have to choose from! It is no surprise that if you can get your home sold, you can enjoy the tremendous benefits of being a HOME BUYER in this market - earning you instant equity in the home that you never thought you could afford! Ask yourself these questions to see if you are in the best position to list your home on the market:
Within the next five years, do you think you will need a bigger home or a better school district for your growing family? How about a closer commute to work?
Do you wish you could host a holiday dinner party or a family birthday party but just don't have the room? Do you see any reason at all that you will want to move in the next 5 years?
What about investing? You keep hearing about people buying, fixing and selling homes for a huge profit or using them as income-generating rental properties - have you ever considered this?
Are you currently renting?
Will you be a first time home buyer?
How do you get your home SOLD in this market?
1 - Price it Right! Have a professional (like myself) get you the comparibles in the neighborhood. Pay close attention to the homes that sold in the last three months.
2 - Make it the nicest home for sale in the area! It's amazing what a splash of paint, a fresh curb appeal and a clutter-free home can do. Don't be afraid to spend a little to get it sold. You will make that money back in your next home. Out-shine all the others. I can help you with staging your home to make it more appealing to buyers.
3 - Advertise! But don't just do it yourself, let me help by adding your home to an impressive list of websites that get your home the attention it deserves! Let me create a professional feature sheet for you to give to family and friends as well as have these sheets posted on your for sale sign for buyers driving by.
