The real estate market is beginning to pick up! The phones are ringing and our homes are being shown more frequently. Mortgage rates continue to remain at historic lows, home prices are fair for all parties and tax incentives make it a great time to buy!
There are a number of considerations for homeowners when deciding whether or not to sell. Pricing is very important but what is more important is understanding what the home is really going to sell for. It is imperative the homeowner receive a true and realistic market evaluation. Sometimes as a professional Realtor, I have to give people news they really don't want to hear. They may be thinking (or hoping, who can blame them?) their house is worth significantly more than the market will bear. In the long run, Sellers benefit by pricing their property to sell. This is not the market for speculation, but it is a great market for homes priced fairly. As a matter of fact, homes priced at market value will sell quicker and for more money.
I have been selling homes for 18 years now and have been fortunate enough to see (survive!)many different market conditions. Today's market has everything going for it; great mortgage rates, fair housing prices and tax incentives.
