Sell your Phoenix HOME in a week - few selling tips

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: 

FQ Story Historic

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.

Benefit of Professional Home Inspection - Should I get an Inspection.

I here this every time from just about every buyer,  my friend is handy, I think I will use him to inspect the home. NOT
One of the most important things  to do when purchasing a home is to have it inspected thoroughly by a professional home inspector.  Not only will your home inspector be able to find any damage such as dry rot, pest infestation, roof problems, possible plumbing  problems  they can also find potential problems with heating systems, electrical, appliances, etc.  Serious problems with homes do not just show up with older homes,newer homes as well.

You never know the condition of the home you are purchasing... This is one thing that you never want to leave to chance.  Home inspectors can also point out areas that might need attention down the road and give you helpful information on how to maintain your home and service systems.

Once you have ordered the inspection, meet with the inspector at the home, about an hr before he finishes the inspection, I say an hr, before the inspection is finished, you want him to do his job, we don't want to get in the way. Your inspector can actually show you problem areas and talk with you about how to do routine maintenance.
Once the home inspector has completed the inspection, they will generate a written report.  It is also advisable to sit down with your home inspector and go over the inspection report.  Investing some time and money with a whole house inspection is one of the best investments you can  make when purchasing a home.

If you are considering selling your  home, one of the best investments you can make as a seller is to have your home inspected before you place it on the market.  By having your home inspected ahead of time you can address any major repair issues prior to going on the market. This alone will save you time and greatly lessen your stress in selling.  It will take away the pain of negotiating repairs with a buyer part way through your sales transaction.  I find that per-inspected homes sell faster and for more money than those that have not been inspected.

If you would like to connect with a professional home inspector in Phoenix  market area, please contact me.  Linda Wieczorek 602.391.8246  I would be happy to furnish you with a list of home inspectors that we have found to do a great job.

Smaller is Better - Housing Trend

After reading the Zillow housing blog, I really liked the articular about housing trends - Smaller is Better and about  embracing & decreased living costs, although it is less about saving money and more embracing a new, more sustainable and, often times, saner lifestyle.
From constructing a teeny home from scratch — to seeking an existing diminutive dwelling, the trend is small, but mighty. So if you are interested in downsizing ? We rounded up a few homes that clock in at 900 square feet or under. You might be surprised what a little house can do for you.

What’s the Best Day of Week and Month to List?

What’s the Best Day of Week and Month to List?     

I do agree that Fri is the Best Day to list the home and Springtime is still a good time to sell for a higher price and also in the fastest time too, according to the study. Homes tended to sell within 90 days of being listed during March through June, according to the study.
