Pricing your home to sell in Allen, TX

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Pricing your home right in this market is very important. You can not base it on how much you paid for it, how much you have put into it or how much you think it is worth. The buyers determine your homes worth. You have to look at the housing market in your area and price your home based on the solds in your market area. If you do not price it right from the start buyers might not even look at the home because they know it is overpriced. That is why having a real estate agent is so important. We are here to help price your home right because we have the up to date information on what is going on in the real estate market. We know the numbers!

An article called Your house will sell if price is just right talks about how “Sellers are overvaluing their homes to their own detriment” sellers need to “bit down hard and slash tens of thousands from their ideal listing price if you’re serious about selling. And you should be prepared to get even less than that…if no one shows up for an open house, if no one calls and if there are no offers, then the price is to high…almost a quarter of all listings on the market in July had at least one price reduction. The average discount from the original listing price? Ten percent, according to Trulia.com”….Sellers do not take it personally…put your emotions aside and remember that “The market couldn’t care less about your personal situation.” Unfortunately that is the hard truth!

Call The North Texas Home Team today and we can help your price your home to sell!

Staging your home to sell in Richardson, TX

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

 

Staged homes sell 50% faster and for 6-10% more money. It is important to start packing up the personal items in your home. You want the buyer’s to walk through and feel like “your” home could be their home! Here are some home staging tips from www.realestaging.blogspot.com

  • WORK ON YOUR ENTRANCE – Whether you are on a job interview, going on a first date or selling your home… first impressions matter. What buyers see on the outside starts to inform them on what to expect on the inside. So clean it up, touch up the paint, add plants and flowers… in general, make the buyer feel welcome.
  • CLEAR OUT CLUTTER – We think counter tops, cabinets, closets, garages, basements, and attics as storage spaces, but often they become clutter keepers. Purging out the old is not only therapeutic but allows a path for the new. Remember too much clutter distracts and obstructs buyers from seeing what you are selling. So clear it out.
  • LESS FURNITURE = MORE HOUSE – A room full of furniture can feel as cluttered as an accountants desk top during tax season. Removing all but what makes sense and is necessary will make the room fell bigger… plus it may free up a piece better used elsewhere.
  • LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN – Letting natural sunlight in always helps buyers SEE the home and its features. Draperies that are not open, or even when they are open still cover up a large portion of the window. Either way they can make a room feel closed-in and smaller. However, equally important is the fact that sellers may need to redirect a buyer’s attention from the view out the window. If that is the case, there are plenty of options today that downplay the outside but lets the light inside.
