Selling a House in Gilbert, Arizona
To be competitive in a market saturated with foreclosures, homeowners hoping to sell their home need to be realistic about the true market value of their home, and very creative in the marketing of the home.
Competitive Pricing. Be sure to price your home according to the current market value. Just because a house comparable to yours was appraised for a very high price last year does not mean you will be able to realize the same price when selling your home now. We will work with you to determine the appropriate, competitive listing price for your home. Remember that in this market, your sales associate may encourage a list price in accordance with others currently on the market, rather than those previously sold.
Prepping the House for Sale. When a buyer sees your home for the first time, a critical first impression is made, so make sure it is a good one. Where possible, you should maximize your home's curb appeal by trimming trees and planting flowers. A fresh coat of paint on the exterior of your house might also prove invaluable. Consider neutral colors for interior walls and carpets. Dark colors on walls, along with unnecessary clutter, make rooms look smaller. If repairs are required, it is a good idea to go ahead and get them taken care of prior to showing the house to potential buyers.
Sweeten the Deal. Often referred to as a "Seller's Contribution," offering to contribute funds toward paying the buyer's closing costs is a great way to entice buyers short on liquid assets.
Don't Worry. Properly priced homes that stand out from the competition are still selling and demand for homes has been gradually increasing over the last several months. We will work closely with you to ensure your home sells as quickly as possible.
