Seller Information
I will market your property on over 65 different websites that have a combine total of well OVER 5 millon visitors per month. That is what marketing is all about, getting your property out to as many people as possible. The Regional multipule listing service has around 85000 visitors per month, The northwest realty has around 25000 per month and the mid columbia listing service has around 200 per month and that is no typo.
Selling your real estate is a complex transaction that takes time, effort and expertise. A comparative market analysis, or CMA, is a real estate agent's evaluation, based on local listing and sales data, to determine the probable sale price of a property in the current market. Sellers can use a CMA to help determine a list price of their property. Buyers can use a CMA to help them decide what to offer on a listing they want to buy.
The accuracy of the analysis will depend in part on the quality of the data. The listings used for comparison should ideally be located in the general neighborhood, and they should be as similar as possible to the subject property.
To get a complete picture of your local marketplace, the CMA should include information about currently available comparable listings, pending sales, sales that occurred within the last 12 months. For sellers, the currently available listings would be your competition if your property were on the market. How you price your property relative to the competition is critical to the success for your marketing efforts.
Beware of the neighborhood grapevine. A combination of wishful thinking and enthusiasm can result in a rumor that a listing sold for an inflated price. The actual sale price may be quite a bit lower. And, that price may not be made public until the sale closes.
Even before you have the closing price, inferences can be made about the selling price based on the market history of the listing. Find out how long it took to find a buyer for the property. Were there multiple offers? Or, did the listing take months to sell? Did the sellers have to lower their price to attract a buyer? This sort of information tells you a lot about the current market conditions.
Expired listings usually indicate a high water mark. The most common reason why an expired listing didn't sell during the listing period is that it was priced too high for the Market.
Marketing is another key factor in selling real estate. You want a realtor who will get your property in front of as many as potential buyers as possible. An agent with good rankings in the search engines with their website is vital when 79% of people who buy shop online first. I post classified adds on various site to get you even more exposure not just the Realtor multiple listing services. I use local advertising websites as well as national.
Another factor is having a realtor who will get out and walk the property with the potential buyer exspecially when your dealing with acerage property. Having a good sense of direction is a must. It is also best when you use an agent who is familuar with the area your property is in. Sometimes finding the property and corners is half the battle.
Today's market is tuff and you need as many selling factors in your favor as possible to sell your property in todays market.
