Even though I don't think too many people in ND are having the trouble selling their homes that others around the country are, I think this is still good info to have if you are selling. It might be easy to drop the ball in a seller's market, thinking you don't have to try as hard since people are desperate to buy. But these tips could even increase the final offer. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteMy brother and sister-in-law both are real estate agents. One thing they tell me is that there are really only 5 states that are in the “foreclosure crisis.” These are states are the ones where the housing values where so over inflated that people had to resort to creative financing so that they could afford to buy a home.
ReplyDeleteIn the Northern and Midwest sections of the country its winter time - the weather in these areas almost always slows down the real estate market. Come summer and the end of the school year the market should pick back up again.
I agree that the seller needs to take every precaution in selling their home. They should de-personalize and de-clutter so that they buyer can see themselves in the home.
