The reality of today’s market is that it is still a buyers’ market and houses, on average, take about 6 months to sell. Here are some thoughts to help properly position your house for success.

1. Price it correctly. If you need a quicker sale than the average days on market, then under price it. Most sellers tend to set the price too high, thinking their house is worth more than it really is. Check comparable prices of solds as well as what is on the market and price it less than your closest competition.
2. Have your house in ready-to-show condition at all times. Place as few restrictions on showings as possible.
3. Create great curb appeal. First impressions count.
4. Get a home inspection and repair any deficiencies.
5. Make your house more attractive than your competitors – de-clutter, clean, paint, update, and stage the property.

The key is to set realistic goals and work a little harder at having your property in “showing condition.” Give me a call if you are looking for a REALTOR® who can put you ahead of the game with proper pricing and preparation advice. 603-526-4116, donna@donnaforest.com, www.donnaforest.com
