What a Buyer Wants
In this market many sellers must be scratching their heads and wondering, "What does a buyer want?"
In the simplest terms, they want value. Value is made up of many variables and the home's price has the most weight. After that could be location or schools, or some other quality about the house that fits the buyers lifestyle. In a seller's market, buyers are willing to pay top dollar because they know they will get the value out of the home as the price continues to rise. In this market though, buyers know the home prices are falling and want to get the house as cheap as they can.
- If you're getting showings and offers, your list price is about right.
- If you're getting showings and no offers, you're 5% to 10% too high.
- If you're getting no showings, your list price is at least 10% too high.
Be careful not to fall into these mental traps, the market is changing...
A. "I'm not in a hurry"
B. "I'll wait for the right buyer" or
C. "I'm not going to give it away",
Your 'days on market' are killing your chances of selling for top dollar. Buyers figure that if you've been on the market for 30 or more days, all the other buyers before them must have passed on yours for a reason - the price ain't right.
