I mean really serious. I don’t mean the “if I get my price” laissez-faire attitude. I mean the I REALLY want to SELL my house. Ok, then prove it! Many of us looking at listings think you don’t. So prove us wrong…if you can. I dare ya! I see so many sellers trying to sell their Fort Lauderdale real estate home or condo and really having absolutely no success in doing so. The biggest reason by far that your home is not selling is that either you or your agent have no idea what your home is worth. It’s that simple. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING will sell at the right price.Let go of your bad realtor instilled myths and your own preconception of what your home may be worth. It’s time to face the cold hard reality of why your home isn’t selling and what it is really worth. 1. If an agent is going to price your home, make sure they actually can verify that homes in your neighborhood have actually CLOSED at or below the value that they, or you, think your home is worth. If they can’t show you at least 3 or more CLOSED sales at or above your estimated value then your home won’t sell. 2. We’re talking CLOSED sales people. Not actives. No one cares what a real estate agent has a home priced at. That is wholly irrelevant. Yep, I said it, the list price of homes in your neighborhood doesn’t show value (here’s a hint…that’s why the sign is still in the ground) 3. The closed sales that you or your agent do find have to be closed within the last 90 days MAX! Don’t let anybody show you a house that closed last year. It means absolutely nothing. 4. Most of those improvements that you have done to the home…sorry, most of them don’t mean squat. Natta, nil..nothing, fuhgettabout it. I know you thought that your new tile floor would be pretty or those new appliances would help, or even that remodeled kitchen…well sorry, in this market they may help with appeal. But unless it was a major remodeling and updating job, like maybe an addition or completely new kitchen, then chances are your money’s been wasted. 5. Here’s the one that really hurts. In seminars that I participated in last year, I was teaching other agents to watch out for the impact foreclosures were going to have on the Fort Lauderdale real estate market. I told them that soon foreclosures would be so abundant that they would be setting the market price. Well what do you know? Unless you have been living under a rock (as many agents have) you now see that foreclosed bank owned properties in the Fort Lauderdale real estate market are indeed setting the values. So guess what, if you have a lot of foreclosed homes in your community, kiss the baby on your expected price and wake up to you new foreclosure-influenced value. 6. Check the Days On Market (DOM) of some of the homes for sale in your neighborhood. You’ll be surprised to see some of them have been for sale for months on end. They’re never going to sell because no one is going to pay what they are asking and either the agent or homeowner are being stubborn and obtuse. 7. Ask your agent to perform a complete regression analysis on your home, most won’t know what it is or how to perform one but suffice it to say it can be very telling. Here’s a hint. If after taking into account all of the closed homes in your neighborhood and you have arrived at a price relative to those closed homes…then take a peek at the actives and see how many are priced BELOW even that number.
