More often than not people don't sell when the real estate market it slow. However it is not impossible to sell if one really wants to.
There is a way to do everything. There are some tricks of the trade that will make the process of selling a house in a slow market a little less time taking.
Alpine Housing helps you to strategically sell your house in a slow market without having to incur any loss.
Here are those eight tricks:
1- Know the rates well
Be aware of the current rates and competition around. Don't operate under cover by selling at the price of your choice. Price It according to the ongoing rates, not too less not too high.
2- Price it smartly
Always price the home as per the current rate. Selling as per how much your friend sold her same house as yours last year in her area is not sensible.
Find out the ongoing rate in your particular area. Actually sometimes keeping the offer price a few thousand less than the current rate attracts buyers instantly.
3- Show it around
Don't take the demand to see the house as an inconvenience. By not showing you might miss on that customer who could have probably been the buyer. Show it as many times as the buyer wants to. It is a big decision after all.
4- Highlight the USP's
Make sure the most attractive feature of your home is highlighted when the buyer comes to have a look. You can play some nice music, keep the best lights on and let those beautiful curtains be drawn in all their glory. It makes the home look warm and welcoming.
5- Have patience
Don't let a little delay frustrate you. Keep your patience in check. Remember the fruit that patience bears are sweet to taste. You will surely find a buyer soon enough.
6- Don't commit the first offer mistake
It is human nature to hope for and want more and more. Sometimes sellers get great offers as soon as the sale news travel around. But this misleads the seller into thinking that he might get better offers if he waits for some more time. This might not hold true. And you might later repent. First offers are more often than not the best offers. They must be grabbed.
7- Keep your house at its best
It is very important to get all the repairs done and keep the house looking up at all times. A buyer likes to picture himself in that house. A dirty or not a well kept house would definitely not appeal to his sense of imagination.
8- Be ready to offer flexible terms
Sometimes you can get away from compromising on the price by compromising on the offer. For instance an extended closing date can appeal more than a discount.
