How To Quickly See Your House In A Depressed Economy
In order to sell your house fast, it is important to put into motion a few important factors and prepare your house for a quick sale.
These simple tips could get you a buyer for your house quickly even in a depressed real estate market.
1) Price
Price is the number one factor that determines whether you sell your house or not. Houses that are priced lower than similar houses in the same area will be bought faster.
Do not attach yourself emotionally to the price of your house when selling it. It is not important how much you paid for it when you bought it. What matters is its price compared to similar houses in the same area.
If your mortgage balance is low enough to allow you to sell it lower, then you will sell faster.
Start by inviting real estate agents for advice on how to price it. Look at your house as if you are the buyer and highlight what you like best about it - size, location, amenities and other factors that make it appealing. If you were looking to buy a house, would you choose this one?
2) Physical condition
What is the first impression the house gives you when you first see it? Does it cry for some TLC?
Does it have a nice, welcoming atmosphere when someone first steps in? Is this a house you would like to live in if you were in the market for a house?
A real estate agent will help you point out important factors that will help you sell fast. Watch out not to spend too much on repairs or you will have no equity left. Only do light fixes, nothing major.
3) What if you have no margin to price it low or do repairs?
Your mortgage balance may not allow you to sell it low or do repairs. You may need to talk to real estate investors who buy houses in your neighborhood.
Real estate investors can buy your house even if it needs repairs, or even if it has little or no equity.
Most real estate investors make you an offer in 1 to 2 days with no obligations and discuss all options with you.
Get in touch with investors who buy and sell houses in your local market from the yellow pages or newspapers.
