Home Sells Fast!


 
 
 
Local sales reports on homes sold show that the market is experiencing a long awaited "comeback".  Agents say that the  biggest issue right now is that they do not have enough homes to sell!   With consumer confidence on the rise and forecasts of higher interest rates, buyers are swarming the real estate market.  

 
Last week I listed a property located in a popular neighborhood.  I was excited for the seller when the phone started ringing immediately.  Within 2 days, I had 8 offers, 7 of which were at asking price! Needless to say, we are in escrow and the seller is very happy.

 
Over half of the homes that are going up for sale right now, are selling immediately and either very close to or at full price.  Sometimes they are even selling for more than the seller was asking.  

 
Sellers should be aware, however, that their asking price needs to be well researched and set where the buyer still feels like there is a deal in the making.  There are some homes that are not selling quickly and sometimes the reason is that the seller has priced the home too high.  Of course, there are other factors that need to be in place also to make the home attractive to a buyer.
