Are
you considering selling your home?
Whether you will
be working with a Realtor or you are going to brave a FSBO (For Sale
by Owner), selling your home can be very stressful. The optimum time
period for a home to be listed for sale is between 15-45 days. These
are the most important days for a home to be on the market; its new,
fresh and properly listed. If improperly listed, it can take years
or more to sell a property. Selecting the proper asking price can
greatly reduce the stress and the time it takes to sell your home.
Lets
be honest...nearly everyone believes their home to be worth more than
what someone else would be willing to pay for it. Your home is sentimental
to you and it is sometimes difficult to part ways. However, the real
estate market does not care. You may not liked to have read that, but
it is the truth. Knowledge of the market will give you the ability to
properly list your home to get the most out of it in the shortest period
of time. (Other Tips to Help Sell Your Home)
When
working with a Realtor to list a home for sale, the agent typically
provides you with a CMA (Competitive Market Analysis) which will list
recent sales (typically 3) and current listings (typically 3) of homes
similar to yours. The agent arrives at a proposed listing price taking
in consideration typical marketing time and current inventory of homes
for sale in your price range. It is very important to choose a reputable
agent. Know your neighborhood before you call the real estate agent/Realtor.
(Did you know? Not all real estate agents are Realtors. The term
"Realtor" designates the person as a member of the National
Association of Realtors and is required to work by a Code
of Ethics A person is required to be a licensed real estate agent
to become a Realtor..)

this take?
The finance industry
can be very volatile. You need your information now, but want it done
right. There are many free, instant-online valuation services which
are computer generated and have limited amounts of information on
the neighboring properties. In many cases, the information provided
is much more dated and irrellavent. Independence Data physically searches
all available property records systems to all data research within
24 hours, 7-Days a Week. It is common to have sales as recent as the
same week or month. Most other data services are 1-4 months delayed.
