Did you know that Minnesota real estate agents sell over 62,000 homes a year? Some people think that’s a lot. Personally, I wish that number was a lot higher. Because for every home that is sold, there are up to 11 others that either won’t sell immediately or at all. Compounding the problem are the many foreclosed properties that MUST sell, regardless of price. How can you hope to sell your home in an upside down market? In the old days (last year) the golden word was ‘location, location, location’. Today, the mantra is ‘condition, condition, condition’.
Think of your home much like a newly single person, who is entering the dating market after many years ‘on the sidelines’. We primp and preen, update our look, maybe lose a little weight and change our wardrobe. We end up looking years younger and more desirable than ever.
Well, your home is the same way. Much like someone who is trying to attract a new mate, you are looking for someone to fall in love with your home. With a little paint, and a lot of loving, your house can look better than ever!
Many longtime homeowners probably can’t remember buyers being so picky! But it seems like buyers today have less and less time to make it ‘just right’. It’s up to YOU to make it perfect for the next homeowner
If I had my way, I would personally represent every one of those 62,000 home sellers.
Seriously, I hope you will think of me when you, your friends or relatives are thinking about buying and selling a home.
