Fall is here.........We fell back with the time last Saturday after our Trick or Treating fun! Now, back to the business of getting your home here in Fort Worth and Tarrant County sold. Often sellers don't want to hear the truth. They want to like the agent, their agent, and when that agent has to show them the situation of the area, they balk! It is human nature to think that "this can't be accurate", when it is opposite of what their emotions were telling them about their home.
Fact are Facts, and numbers really do tell the accurate story. Some things to remember when you are trying to decide on a "asking price":
Remember that reported sales prices lag behing by one or two months. So just figure that any home that pended in less than 60 days was priced well for it's market. Unless the home was perfect in everyway, today's buyer is going pay less than you will see on the pended sheet. With that being the case, it is important to realize that as there are fewer buyers at or around the holidays, in order for your home to be the stand-out value, you will need to be priced well and have the home perfect as well.
Sellers who want to sell must get emotions in check and just simply deal with the reality of the market of the moment. Remember that this market doesn't stand still.........it is a living, breathing entity. Like you, you change with each activity, and so does real estate.
When a seller says to me, "but you told me this last month", I must stop and remind them that each time a home is listed or a home is sold, the market changes.
If you want to know about the market of the moment in your neighborhood, please call or email me and I will do my best to give you great information.
