How To Sell Your House Quick In A Bad Real Estate Market

To sell your house fast, you must prepare your house for the market.  The following points are a good check list of the things to pay attention to:

1)    Price
Of course, price is the first thing people look at before they come look at t your house.   If you price it lower than other similar houses in the market, it sticks out more in the market and attracts more interested buyers.

Most buyers prefer houses that have been on the market less than 3 weeks.

Detach yourself emotionally from the house when setting the price tag.   What you paid for it is not important; people look for the current value of similar houses in the neighborhood.

If your mortgage balance allows you to set the price lower than other similar houses, by all means go for it.

Invite realtors in your area to provide views about its condition and pricing to be competitive in the market.  You should look at your house more like a home buyer, instead of looking at it like a seller.  Highlight all amenities - location, size and other factors that make it more appealing than other similar houses.   If you were buying a house, would you buy this house instead of all the others?

2)    Physical condition of the house
When you look at the house from the outside, what is the first impression you get?  Does it look like it needs some work from the outside?

Once they walk through the door, are they met with a nice, smell and atmosphere?  Would you love to live in this home if you were looking to buy a house?

Avoid spending too much money fixing it up, or you might be unable to price it competitively.

Just do minor clean-up and touch-ups.

3)    What if have a high mortgage balance or it needs repairs?
Sometimes your mortgage balance might be too high or it needs repairs.

Real estate investors who buy and sell houses in your area might be able to help.

Real estate investors can buy your house even when it needs repairs or even if the mortgage balance is high.

A real estate investor can let you know if they can buy your house in as little as 24 to 48 hours. They can handle most situations and discuss all numbers and terms with no obligations.
