The real estate market has made a shift, so sellers here are 5 mistakes you do not want to make when selling your home! According to the latest housing data, the real estate market is going through a transition. And now more than ever it’s superimportant to be working with an experienced real estate agent one who can give you the best information on the market shifts and updates on the latest changes.
Hi, I am Terry Tucker with eXp Realty and I’ve been selling homes here in the San Ramon Valley and beyond for the past 26 years. .
Ok, if you are in the market to sell your home here are the 5 things you want to avoid when listing your home for sale.
First off, do not skip the small stuff. If there are small minor repairs you think you can pass the task off on the buyer, think again! Buyers shopping today are looking for homes with minimal or no repairs those are also the homes that they will pay the most for. Visible repair issues, even if they are small, can turn a buyer off and result in a lower offer or demand for concessions.
Second, it is super important to look at things objectively. With a transitioning market, it is important not to take things personally or get too emotionally invested in your sale. This can put your home sale at risk.
Third, be willing to negotiate. If you are unwilling to negotiate, it can put the offer at risk and the buyer can back out. With inventory on the rise, buyers have more options and with that comes negotiation power. That is why it is important as a seller to have an agent to negotiate on your behalf objectively.
Fourth, Do NOT make the mistake of not using a real estate agent to help streamline the selling process.
And finally, do not make the last mistake or the biggest one of overpricing your home.
Many sellers are sitting on the market and asking too much money for their home and we’re seeing an uptick of homes with price reductions and longer days on the market.
An unrealistic price can cause your house to sit, deter buyers, lead to appraisal issues and may cause your home to become stale on the market.
