You can still get top dollar by following these three strategies.
It has been chilly out there! Will your for-sale home get a cold shoulder in the market now that things are starting to cool down? If you’ve been hesitating to make a move because of this reason, know that you haven’t missed your window of opportunity, but you may need to think about things a little bit differently. Here are three things that today’s sellers need to consider:
1. Be willing to negotiate. At the peak of the pandemic, sellers held all the leverage. Today, buyers have more options. You may see more buyers requesting an inspection, repairs, closing costs, and/or rate buydown assistance. I can help you navigate those conversations so they still feel like making a move is a win.

2. Price your home at market value. Today’s higher mortgage rates mean buyers are more cautious about their budgets. If you want to attract potential buyers, let me help you set the ideal price for your home.
3. Consider the home’s first impression for prospective buyers. In other words, make your home attractive. I’ll give you insight into the updates and staging you need to help your home stand out.
I have so much more to say on this subject, so if you’re thinking about selling your home, call or email me so I can give you more insight into today’s market and how it has shifted since the summer of 2022.
