Selling and Pricing Your Home in Today’s Market

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

There is no question that economy and the real estate market are in a state of flux. However, that does not mean that homes are not selling.  It just means that a seller needs to be more aware of the market around them and even more aware of what buyer’s are looking for.

Right now in Weber and Davis County, there is currently 9-11 months worth of inventory currently on the market. This is called an absorption rate.  What that means is that it would take us 9-11 months to sell everything we currently have on the market, given the current buyer pool.  Don’t let this fact get you down. It just means that your home won’t sell in 5 days. It takes more time, perseverance, aggressive marketing and accurate pricing.

Accurate pricing and aggressive marketing are 2 of the most essential ingredients in the successful sale of your home.  Choosing a Realtor with the backing of a nationally recognized and respected brand is essential. No other company is going to provide you with the powerful exposure, market share and network that I can. For starters, I’ll be marketing your home on more than 300 websites around the country. And with 90% of buyers starting their home search online, it is essential to have this kind of aggressive internet exposure.

Pricing your home is a bit more challenging. However, you can go to www.UTHomeValue.com and enter your information to determine the market value of your home.

I have more answers to many seller’s questions in a Q&A format that I can email to you or deliver to you at your request. Just let me know. Email to kristin.graziano@utahhomes.com or call me at 801.499.6087.

The bottom line, is that YES! Homes are selling and Yes! We can get your home sold too!

Selling a Home In Ogden – Should I Use a Realtor?

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

 

Since, I believe honesty is the best policy…I will say that no one has to use a Realtor to sell their home. There are many people who try to sell their home For Sale By Owner and some are successful. There are benefits to using a Realtor and you need to choose what work the best for your needs.  A few of the benefits include:

1. A safer home-selling environment.  Realtors use lockboxes on properties that are 100% safe. They ensure that buyers coming through your property are qualified to buy the home and are attended by a licensed real estate agent.

2. A larger marketing reach.  Realtors have the marketing tools and ability to connect with millions of potential home buyers locally and across the country. Marketing is a key component to a successful and timely sale of a property.

3. Realtor Network.  Realtors network with other real estate professionals, thus allowing them to tap into their buyer pools as well.

4. Ability to qualify potential buyers.  Qualified buyers are harder to come by these days.  Within minutes we can know if a buyer meets the qualification needed to secure a home loan. Many For Sale By Owners get into contracts with potential buyers who do have the credit or down payment to purchase their home.

5. Access to information to do pricing analysis.  Accurate pricing is critical! Unfortunately, it is the most difficult component of selling a home. The market has been up and down (mostly down) over the past year and pricing can be difficult. Market information on comparable properties is crucial to determining market value for any property.

In any event, consult a Realtor for pricing information and market statistics as well as information on the appraisal and mortgage arenas. Both appraisal and mortgage areas are both vulnerable right now and are the biggest reasons for failed sales right now. 

If you are currently a For Sale By Owner or considering selling  your home, contact me for pricing information and market statistics. These are provided at no cost and no obligation. I am available to help you in any way I can. Feel free to contact me by email kristin.graziano@utahhomes.com  or phone 801.499.6087 or you can also use the ASK ME A QUESTION BOX at the right.
