Lately, a lot of our clients have been asking the same question: How do I take advantage of a buyer's market if I am a seller? Today, we aim to answer that question. 

The first thing you should address is if now is the right time for you to sell. Just like any other kind of market, the housing market has ebbs, flows, and cycles. When you are buying or selling a home, the number 1 factor is your life. Timing the market around a promotion, a child, or any other life event is tough. We want you to get the best deal possible, without sacrificing things in your life. 

Next, you need to position your house to bring in the most money. There are a number of things this could entail, but we would say fresh paint and carpet are on the top of the list. You want to make those investments that will bring you a greater return than what you put into them. We want you to invest 1 dollar, and get back 7 or 8.

As a buyer, sometimes you can offer a faster closing date or higher earnest deposit to get ahead in a strong seller's market. Those little strategies help you beat out other buyers with agents who may not know these tactics. 

Thanks for taking the time to read our blog. If you have any questions for us at all, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We can't wait to hear from you!

What Do You Do When You're on the Wrong Side of the Market?

We receive questions all the time concerning current market conditions and how they affect people in different situations. Whether you're buying or selling, if the market isn't balanced, there is a chance you could be on the wrong side of the market. Is there any hope? What can you do about it? Today, we want to give you a few tips on how to make the most of these situations:

• If you are selling, you could consider taking advantage of a 72-hour cash offer guarantee. We work with investors who can provide you the liquidity you need to purchase that perfect home once you find it. That way, you don't have to wait until your home is sold before taking action in the market. 
• Our guaranteed home sale program has helped a lot of people get their home sold quickly so they can buy the next one. If we don't sell your home in 90 days, we'll buy it! 
• We have a reputable, time-tested system for knowing what it takes to get a home sold. Traditional real estate marketing is unpredictable - will your home sell in the summer, or over the holidays? When you move will be a function of the location of your home, how well it's marketed, what the condition of your home is, and how well your home is priced. If these factors align, your home will sell quickly and for top dollar. We have access to the necessary data to help you sell your home when you need to sell it. 
• You can always move somewhere temporary until your home sells. However, this can be incredibly taxing on a family. You may have to move as many as three times and it could cause a lot of tension. Make sure you are in a situation that allows for you to do something like this, as it is a big decision.

We're familiar with the many stresses of having to sell your home and move into a new one, and we understand how difficult it is to time it right. Because we've done this many times, we would love to help make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you would like to work with a team that can help you come up with solutions to help you meet your goals, give us a call today!
