Home Selling

It's been said that the only thing in real estate that is more confusing than purchasing a home is selling one – especially if you've never done it before. Where to start? Who to turn to?


These are good questions and – lucky you – the answers are right here within the pages of ActiveRain, the top real estate social network on the planet.

What happens if the appraisal comes in lower than the amount the buyer has offered? Is an offer from a buyer with a conventional loan approval better than one from an FHA buyer?

Setting the right asking price is crucial. Remember, buyers will conduct their own comparative market analysis, so being discerning when setting the price is essential. Overpricing can deter potential buyers, while underpricing can spark competitive bidding. Let's work together to set a realistic price that maximizes your home's value. #thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #house #listreports #homeowner #realestate #realestateagent #realtor #hometips

This week the median list price for Chandler, AZ is $605,999 with the market action index hovering around 47. This is an increase over last month's market action index of 46. Inventory has held steady at or around 336.   While the Market Action Index shows some strengthening in the last few weeks, prices have not seemed to move from their plateau. Should the upward trend in sales relative to inventory continue, expect prices to resume an upward climb in tandem with the MAI.    The market is hovering around this plateau. Look for a persistent change in the Market Action Index before we see prices deviate from these levels.      YOUR   Latest activity in the VALLEY of the SUN For ALL your Valley AZ Real Estate Needs PHONE   Bill   at   602-999-0952 Text         Bill   at    602-999-0952 ...

In the fast-paced world of real estate, timing can often be the difference between a seamless transaction and a prolonged, uncertain journey. It's a common misconception that holding out for multiple offers will always yield a higher sale price or better terms. However, there's a strong argument for why accepting the first real estate offer is usually the best course of action.The first offer typically emanates from a motivated buyer who has been diligently searching for their dream home. These buyers have likely scoured numerous listings, attended countless open houses, and have a keen understanding of the market dynamics. When they finally find a property that meets their criteria, they're primed to make a serious offer.One of the key advantages of accepting the first offer is the lev...

I showed a nice house last week to my buyer client, and it was pretty nice.   Until be got to the back yard.   Set on a potentially very nice half acre lot, the back yard was a complete mess.Overgrown brush, discarded and delaminating plywood, old car tires on rims, trash, trash and more trash.I estimate the cost to have a handyman come in to remove the trash and clean up the brush?  $1000-$1500.   And then the rear yard would look like a million bucks.I can imagine swingsets, a patio, maybe an pool, a place for kids to play.   And a really fast sale, which they're not getting because when I spoke with the listing agent, he was oblivious to most of the trash.  Why?  I am guessing, because like most agents, they are so happy to get the listing signed, they can't wait to burn rubber out o...

Some Highlights Wondering if now’s a good time to sell your house? Based on how many homes are on the market, there are two big reasons why this spring is looking so good for sellers. Thanks to an uptick in inventory over last year, you’ve got more options for your next home. But there are still fewer homes for sale than there’d normally be, meaning your house should stand out and get a lot of attention from buyers. If you want to sell your house, this spring is the sweet spot. When you’re ready, let’s chat to get the ball rolling.  Contact us:PHP Houses142 W Lakeview AveUnit 1030Lake Mary, FL 32746Ph: (407) 641-1531Fax: (407) 205-1951email: info@phphouses.comLet’s Connect:FacebookLinkedinTwitterInstagramThe information contained, and the opinions expressed, in this article are not inte...

As you embark on the home buying journey, you're making a significant commitment amid numerous uncertainties. Introducing contingency clauses into the contract provides buyers with a sense of security against these uncertainties. These clauses outline specific conditions that must be met before the sale can be finalized.Mortgage Contingencies: Among the most common contingencies is the mortgage contingency, offering additional assurance to buyers. This clause stipulates that the buyer must secure a particular type of mortgage at or below a specified interest rate for a set portion of the purchase price (typically 80%) by a specified date before the closing. Failure to obtain the loan as per the contingency terms allows the buyer to withdraw from the contract, with earnest money refunded...

Access is key! This blog highlights the importance of accessibility when selling a house. Easy access for showings can significantly impact the selling process. Thanks for emphasizing this crucial aspect of selling a home!Have a super fantastic week!Joe Jackson, Realtor-KWCP If you’re gearing up to sell your house this spring, one of the early conversations you’ll have with your agent is about how much access you want to give buyers. And you may not realize just how important it is to make your house easy to tour. Spring is the peak homebuying season, so opening up your house to as many showings as possible can really help you capitalize on all the extra buyer activity we see at this time of year. Since buyer competition ramps up in the spring, buyers are going to want to move fast to s...
