Have you been thinking of selling your home? Do you want to sell your home or do you need to sell your house because of divorce, foreclosure, inherited property, or any other reason.
How about a contract for full list price or more in less than a week? That's what I am talking about. Full PRICE or better. It's no secret that an overpriced home takes longer to sell, and it might eventually sell for a lot less than market value. In a high demand market, a well priced home could sell within 10 to 21 days.
I have three easy steps to ensure that your house is one of those “HOT” properties that everyone wants:

1) Have the property in move-in ready condition! Buyers want to buy a house and NOT a project. When a homes is in tip-top shape that sparkle and shine sell much faster than homes that need repairs or are cluttered. Home buyers want to imagine how they will live in that house, and they can't do that if the home looks like it belongs to you or is a mess. CLUTTER OUT!
2) Price. The single most important factor to consider when selling a house is the home price tag. Pull Comparable Listings and Sales - Look at every similar home that was or is listed in the same neighborhood over the past six months. A smart strategy some agents use to entice multiple offers, is to price a little lower. In real estate many factors determine price. Location, location, location condition, & schools. Don’t try to “test the market” by starting high and work you way down. Price your home correctly and at market value and you will do OK.
3) Make your house available to be shown. No one will buy your house if they can’t see it. You feel like you are intruded on but remember, you are selling your home. It doesn’t make any sense to offer a home for sale that cannot be seen.
Price, Condition and Availability are the three keys to selling a house quickly.
Do it right from the start and you will most likely have multiple offers in less than a week.
4)Curb appeal. After pricing, nothing will bring more potential buyers into your home than a house with outstanding curb appeal. Take a walk down your street with a critical eye. How does your home stack up from the outside? If it doesn't stand out from the rest then it's time to get to work.
Seems CRAZY BUT it's seller's markets, it' is no longer a buyers market here in Phoenix homes are selling faster because there are fewer sellers and more buyers. Those short sales are still here, but thinning out fast. When more than one buyer is trying to buy the same home, that can result in a bidding war with offers above list price. It's not unusual for a home to sell in a seller's market in less than a week.
