BE PREPARED!
1.) Sellers how do you make YOUR home the most desirable?!?!?
The easiest way is to make your home desirable is have your home Certified Pre-Owned!! CPO means that you have an appraisal, an inspection, and offer a home warranty at closing. This wraps your home up like an amazing present!
The appraisal ensures your home is priced right to begin with! There is much less need to negotiate when you are priced right to begin with. This raises your opportunity for multiple offers!!
Having your home pre-inspected can save you as the seller so much money in the long run! Once a home goes under contract and the buyer has their inspection a seller needs to then have a licensed professonial make any repairs. Save yourself money and get it done, learn of any big things that may need to be taken care of and know about it EARLY!!
Finally give the buyers peace of mind and offer a home warranty at closing!
We have seen that homes that utilize the CPO program, go under contract faster and for MORE money!
2.) Have a PLAN and a TEAM in place!
Your team includes an agent, your lender, inspectors, etc...have the right team in place and they will ensure that this process is the smoothest and with the least amount of stress possible!
3.) Interest Rates Aweseome!
Interest rates are awesome!!! Not to mention FHA has some really great changes around the corner. John Owen from Movement Mortgage talk to us about the new FHA changes and how awesome interest rates are right now!!
4.) Well priced equity homes are in demand!
Seller's....good deals are no longer short sales and foreclosures!! They are YOUR equity homes priced well.
Buyers are out and about AND making decisions!! Agents are realizing that the best homes are not stayin on the market long and they come off the market just as quickly as they come onto the market. Multiple offers are a VERY real situation. For sellers this is GREAT!!! For buyers it means you need to put in strong offers and not hesitate. If you like the home the chances that someone else likes it as well is high. Don't lose out on your dream home becuase you want to sleep on it one night......the people who looked at it yesterday are thinking the same thing, but they are a day ahead of you and ready to make an offer.
