Selling your Home in Today’s Real Estate Market

Our RE/MAX Real Estate Team has developed a successful selling plan tailored to get homes sold for the maximum value in the minimum amount of time. If you are considering selling your home, you should know that El Dorado Hills home values are where they were back in 2002 – 2003. Sellers will continue to face stiff competition from Bank Owned and Short Sale properties which, will continue influence our market for the foreseeable future. The good news is that if you are planning a purchase another home, you would be doing so when home prices and mortgage rates are down.

Our Goal is to Sell Your Home for the Maximum Price in the Minimum Amount of Time.

Price it right the first time.

Buyers are smart and are using the internet to arm themselves with the tools to value properties. The idea of pricing a home too optimistically high and hoping to attract buyers can cost you in the long run.

• The first few weeks the home is on the market is the most critical time
• Properties that are priced wrong can result in the home languishing on the market and the listing getting stale
• Remember, the home still needs to appraise and it is not uncommon for a sale to unravel because the property failed to appraise for the purchase price.
• Avoid using the asking price of comparable homes for sale in the area to determine the list price of a property

One only has to look at the MLS records to see how many days the property has been sitting on the market, and the number of price reductions that have been made. Sadly, the property usually ends up selling for less than it otherwise would have it had been priced correctly to begin with.
A proper pricing analysis includes a close examination of recent comparable home sales, pending sales and an evaluation of pricing trends.
We have performed dozens of Broker Marketing Appraisals for Banks (known as Broker Price Opinion or BPO) and have the knowledge and experience to help develop a pricing stratgy to help you sell your home at as soon a possible a the maximum price.
