If you have been thinking of selling your St. Petersburg-Clearwater Florida area home, one of the most important questions you may have is, what is my home worth? Below are 3 common mistakes sellers make when they overprice their home - don't make one of these mistakes. 1. "I want to price it higher than I need to sell it for because the buyers will make a lower offer anyway" Truth: In today's market buyers are generally educated by their Realtors and do their own online research so they have a good idea of what the value is of a property. Buyers generally search in increments of $25,000 online, so pricing your house at $235,000, when the value is between $200,000-$225,000, will likely cause you to lose potential buyers. They can't make you an offer, if they don't know even know your house is for sale. 2. "I'll price my home high, and let the market catch up to my price, I'm in no hurry" Truth: If you want to sell your house, time is not on your side. As of September 30, 2014, the largest number of homes in Pinellas County, Florida sold within the first 30 days (33.5%), followed by homes between 31-60 days (18.80%). Don't be a homeowner caught with your home still on the market after 60 days, as buyers will start to wonder why your house is not already sold, and may not even want to see it at this point. If you really are not in a hurry to sell your house, then it is best not to put it on the market until you are serious about selling it. 3. "I watch the news and they say the real estate market is hot and prices are are up, I'm not going to give my house away." Truth: We are in a healthy real estate market in Pinellas County, Florida right now However, that does not mean that buyers will pay more than market value for your house. In most areas of the county we are in a balanced market, however, it is very important to look at supply and demand in your particular area. We have some areas and price ranges with an excess of inventory making it a "buyers" market, while other areas are in more demand, making them a "sellers" market.

Selling your St Petersburg-Clearwater Florida home during the holidays
| Don't wait until after the holidays to list your Florida home for sale! Have you been thinking of selling your home in the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Florida area, but don't want to move before the holidays? Deborah Ward & Associates can negotiate an offer on your home so that you can stay in your home for the holiday season. We understand some home sellers think that buyers aren't interested in home shopping during the holidays. In fact, we have found that the most serious buyers are out looking for a home during this time of the year. However, the holidays do tend to weed out the number of home buyers who are "just looking", resulting in less traffic through your house, since only the "true" buyers are out looking at homes. Also, since many home sellers prefer to wait until after the holidays to list their home for sale, this results in fewer choices for those serious buyers out there, so the buyers are more likely to choose to buy your home! Call Deborah Ward & Associates at Keller Williams Gulfside Realty, if you have been thinking about selling your home, and we will get your home SOLD during the holidays. We cover all areas of Pinellas County from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, and over to the Gulf beaches. Call us today at 727-216-9247! | |||||||||||||||||||||
