With all the talking heads screaming bloody murder about the financial markets, it’s enough to make any intelligent home owner think twice about selling a house right now. I mean with all the doom and gloom you’d think the world was coming to an end tomorrow.
Not true!!
Yes, we’re definitely going through some rocky times financially. Just ask Merril Lynch and Lehman Brothers. But, we’re very fortunate here in the Rock Hill SC, Fort Mill SC, and Charlotte NC area because the housing market remains very strong.
Is it down compared to previous years? Sure. It’s definitely a buyers market. Foreclosures are available in almost every neighborhood, which in turn can affect property values and the potential price you might get for your house, but that doesn’t mean you should sit on your hands and not sell.
If you’re thinking about selling your Rock Hill SC or Fort Mill SC home, now’s as good a time as any, believe it or not. The key to getting the most out of the sale of your home in this market is to do the following:
- Price it correctly.Nothing sinks a solid home sale faster than pricing incorrectly. Price it too high and it’ll sit on the market longer than it should. Under price it and you end up leaving money on the table. If you have questions about how you should price your house, I’d love a chance to help you come up with a price that will move your home quickly for top dollar.
- Make your house stand out.If there’s competition from other houses, you MUST make your property stand out. A fresh coat of paint, inside or out. Steam cleaned carpets. Refinished hardwood floors. Some simple, inexpensive staging. A refresh of the landscaping. All of these are things that can be done to help you house stand out from the crowd and even though it might cost you a little bit of money, it’ll be money well spent.
- Work with a professional that can get your home the exposure it needs.The key to selling your home quickly, for top dollar is to make sure it gets the maximum amount of exposure possible. Working with an experienced real estate agent that knows the ins and outs of marketing a house effectively in today’s marketplace can do wonders for getting your house sold very quickly.
Again, I’d love an opportunity to show you what I can do to help you sell your Rock Hill SC or Fort Mill SC home quickly, for top dollar.
Remember, just because all you’re hearing about is the doom and gloom of the economy today, it doesn’t mean you should sit on your property. Selling your home for top dollar in today’s marketplace is still very much within reach, it just requires a careful plan of attack to making it happen.
