Seller's - Tired of hearing it's a Buyer's market?

If you are seller, ugh! How many times have you heard that in the last 3 years? Let's turn that around and make it a seller's market and let you, the seller determine what the buyer will pay. Be realistic about your homes value, and don't let emotions get the better of you. The buyer doesn't care that your children were born there or that your dog was a Christmas present for your kids in 1998. Use all the tools necessary to determine value. These include: Realtors market analysis, tax assessment, neighborhood condition (this changes over the years), actual condition of your home (really, really look at it) and improvements. Remember that just because you put a new roof on the home just 2 years ago, does not mean that the buyer is going to absorb the entire cost of that roof, the buyer expected to have a roof on the house. How many homes similar to yours are for sale in your community? Be competitive! Get the job done and price it right!
