Homes Sold Faster This Spring and Early Summer
Last week we quoted Matthew Patane at The Gazette reports. He wrote, “Cedar Rapids’ homes sold faster this spring and early summer for more money than during that same period a year ago.
On average, homes for sale in Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, and Robins were on the market only for 55 days from April through June, according to data from the Cedar Rapids Area Association of Realtors. That’s 13 days fewer than the same time period last year and 33 days less than in the second quarter of 2013.
“Homes that are on the market in good condition and less than $200,000 and priced correctly are staying on an average of three days,” Barry Frink, broker-manager with Iowa Realty in Marion, said.
“Frink said prospective buyers are faced with having to make faster decisions due to the quick pace.”
Homes Sold Faster This Spring and Early Summer.
Surely, you can bet this activity will continue on the rise for another year. Won’t it? No one knows the answer. If you are worried and want to sell now, here are some moves you can make.
- Price your house right. Price your house too high, meaning higher than the last house sold in your neighborhood that is comparable to your house, and the house will sit. Then you may be forced to lower your price and buyers will wonder what’s wrong.
- The first visit must be a lasting impression. The lawn should be mowed and edged, dead stuff taken away or raked, plants trimmed, and flowers blooming in the flower beds. Wash the siding and windows. After all, you are going for curb appeal.
- Declutter every room. Get you out of your house! You want them to imagine their belongings, pictures, art, books in “their” new home. Get them to thinking, “This is my house.” from the time they walk in the door.
- Stage your home for sale or hire a home stager. Your home will be clean, sleek, no distractive décor, and your chances will be great for a quick sale. Staged Homes sell quicker, and for a higher price.
The selling a house is time-consuming. It requires choosing a realtor and choosing the right price for your house. After taking all the suggestions, there’s no guarantee you won’t be here through the winter. Deals can fall through for a number of reasons
There is a better way!
Try calling a real estate investor. It is quick! You can sell house fast Houston, normally in 30 days or less. That is much quicker than a traditional sale, even if there are no major items that require repairs before closing. In most cases when an investor and a seller can agree on a price immediately, they can close as quickly as one to two weeks.
A real estate investor will buy as-is. Worrying about some repairs that you’ll need to fix based on an appraisal? An investor will estimate the repairs needed to restore your property and will purchase the property as-is.
No Fees! A real estate investor doesn’t charge you a real estate commission and may take care of any other nagging financial problems such as back taxes, code violations, or past due water and sewer bills.
