12 Ways To Sell Your House In This Crappy Market #9

12 Ways To Sell Your House In This Crappy Market

Expand your buying universe

There's still an overabundance of well-priced inventory out there. That's especially the case with short sale homes, which can be a nightmare to close in a timely manner. There are some for-sale gems that need only a little polishing.  Shop around. Don't dismiss foreclosures and other bank properties, pre-foreclosures, auction homes, for-sale-by-owner or lease-to-own homes. Pick at least three favorites and work from there.

12 Ways To Sell Your House In This Crappy Market

Flight to quality

Worried about durability? Buyers who place a heavier focus on brick or concrete-and-steel housing may find they're more enduring, safer and quieter.  Are you worried about sustaining value? Buy near a good school district, a prestigious hospital, university, large government employer or newly vibrant central business district. These entities typically aren't going away, and the demand for good housing around them won't either.

Sellers Willing to Do More to Get Home Sold

Sellers Willing to Do More to Get Home Sold

sellers are more willing this year to price their homes competitively as well as change the appearance of their home in order to lure buyers, according to a recent survey of real estate professionals.  Agents reported that, compared to last year, sellers are more willing to remove clutter; make cosmetic updates, such as minor repairs; "depersonalize" the home; and stage the home to better their chances of getting it sold, the survey finds.

Meanwhile, the survey also found that agents say buyers are most putting a value on new or updated kitchens, bathrooms, and open floor plans when touring homes.
