So ya' want to sell your home? You've got the grass cut, the real estate sign is up, the carpet has fresh vacuum tracks every day, and you've had four open houses.Not only that, but Junior has kept his room spotless...well, he has everything shoved under the bed. But your house just isn't selling. The hordes of buyers, offers in hand, have yet to descend upon you. Why? There's been no run up in crime, no toxic dump sites discovered nearby and your neighbor even moved his rusting '64 Ford out of the street.


I have one word for you... price . It's ALL about pricing.If you are not at the bottom of your market, you're too high. I know, I know, you just put in granite counters and had the place painted. Priced too high.In today's market, buyers (and their agents) will ignore you if you are even $5000 too high. And they can afford to. Because there are 25 other homes in your area that are now on the market. If you don't know what your market range is, find out. If your agent doesn't know...well that's a problem. Time to contact one of us at Forefront Real Estate! The point is, give a potential buyer a reason to buy your home versus all the others. Know what it is?..Yep, you got it...price.


Currently, I have sellers who insist on keeping their price too high. And in spite of open houses, advertising, broker caravans, etc.. the homes just sit. Conversely, I have two clients that priced their homes low.Both were in escrow in seven days. No big mystery...price.

As always, I'm interested in what you think.
