& for more moneyThe Current Housing Market:What You Need to Know as aSellerWith the current shortage ofavailable housing, home priceshave surged. This is great newsfor sellers, as it presents anopportunity for a high return oninvestment. However, despitethe higher interest rates, somehomes remain unsold forextended periods. This can beproblematic as it can delayequity from being earned andmortgage payments from beingmade. Additionally, homes thathave been on the market for toolong can create a negative firstimpression on potential buyersand their agents. It's essential tocreate a positive impressionfrom the start, as it can impactthe overall success of the sale.The thought of an overpriced home coulddeter potential buyers, leading them to offerlowball prices. However, it's important tounderstand why these homes are still on themarket. Often, they are priced above marketvalue.

Not accommodating showings: Sure,showings can be a pain to prepare for, andthey can be scheduled last minute, but it’s inyour best interest to be flexible with yourpotential buyer’s schedule wheneverpossible. They’re usually looking at multiplehomes in a day, and they may not circle backto see your home again if it’s not availablewhen they ask to see it.Attending your own showing: It’s considereda faux pas for sellers to be present duringshowings at their home, as it can makebuyers feel uncomfortable. If you’re sellingyour home on your own, without the help ofan agent, consider using a lockbox forshowings. If you’re a for-sale-by-owner(FSBO) seller and you have to host theshowing yourself, don’t hover. Let visitorsexplore your house on their own, and just beavailable to answer questions.Taking feedback personally: It can be hardto hear criticism about your home, but it canbe helpful. For example, if you find out abuyer said the carpets looked dirty, you canclean them before the next showing.COMMON SHOWING MISTAKES

e s l y v a l d o v i n o sr e a l t o r ®

When you’re selling your house and have taken time to clean, pick up, and clear all yourcounters so a buyer can tour your home – you probably want to know what they thoughtabout your house, right? Actually, you probably want them to make an offer! But, if they don’tmake an offer, it’s common for sellers to want to know WHY.The “why” is called buyer feedback. And, sometimes it can be confusing. Interpreting buyerfeedback can be a difficult task. It’s common practice on my team to ask the agent thatshowed the property what the buyer thought. We pass that information on to you to satisfyyour curiosity. And here’s a list of some helpful ways to interpret that feedback:SHOWING FEEDBACKwhat they say what they mean“The furnace (or inse rt another largemecha nical name here) is ol d and they’re ju stnot s ure."The b uyer is afraid o f major expenses downthe r oad. So, for the price your house isliste d at - they fear it’s going to cost to omuch money later and not be worth it.Is it possible your p hotos are hidingsomet hing obvious tha t peop le won’t like?Re-sh oot the pics. So metime s pictures aredecei ving in that roo ms look bigger thanthey are. And, someti mes photos don’t showhow a wesome a house t ruly i s. Or, maybethey didn’t look at t he photos very closelyat al l and it’s not y our pics at all. Eithe r way,they’ re probably disa ppoint ed with thereali ty for whatever reason and not going t omake an offer because it’s just not whatthey want.“They were hoping for an op en floor plan.”“The floor plan wasn’ t right for them.”“They thought the roo ms wou ld be bigger.”“The rooms are smalle r than they thought.”“They were surprised at the (insert name ofsomet hing not shown i n phot os).”“It w as our first tim e out and they’re justgetti ng started.”“It s melled funny.”“The pet odor was str ong."You n eed to clean, th row away air freshener s,and/o r remove odor. I t’s amazing how muchmore a clean/fresh-sm elling home will sell forvs. o ne that hasn’t b een prepared as well.

what they say what they mean“More work than they expect ed.”“Too much wallpaper."They might need to se e more homes tounder stand the value but at the momentthey’ re not excited e nough about yourhouse to make an offe r.“The showing went wel l.”“It’s a lovely home, thank the sellers for us.”“The street was reall y busy.”“Didn ’t like the apar tments behind thehouse .”“It’s too close to th e (insert name ofsomet hing that buyers will be annoyed with -conve nience store, sc hool, business, etc.). ”Somet imes the locatio n of a house can reall ysurpr ise a buyer (and somet imes the agent!)when they pull up to the house. For example ,if yo ur address is on a side street but theinter state is in your backyard. It’s better toconfr ont those issues in the listing thansurpr ise people at th e showing.Who k nows what that m eans b ut more thanlikel y if it’s not fo llowed with an offer i tmeans they’re not int erested.These are just a few exampl es of feedback wesee – and give.Ultimately, when someone gi ves you feedback,good or ba d, but it’s not fol lowed with an offer– the feedback means the buyer didn’ t see thevalue in your house for the listing price.But, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you’repriced too high. (Although, it might meanthat.)Really, it’s all about VALUE.As your listing agent, I use buyer feedback tounderstand where buyers are at value-wise.Feedback always tells a story. There are 3reasons you r house won’t sell:LOCATION | CONDITION | PRICEYou can’t change the location. So, if you live ona busy street or have apartments right next toyour house, you can expect people to not lovethat. You can change the condition. But, maybe youdon’t want to. Because if buyers are commentingthat they think the house is too much work – youhave a value problem. You can remedy the issuesthat are causing the issue (remove wallpaper,paint, update, etc) or you can adjust the price. And, if your location is great and the condition isgreat but people still aren’t buying your house?Well, that could be a number of t hings. But, t heodds are good that it’s a value probl em and themarket is rejecting your listing price. That’s easyenough to f ix – adjust the price.

Most peopl e love dogs, cats, and otherhouse hold anima ls – but like most things, there isa time and place f or everything. Unfortunate ly,havin g pets when selling a home can cause majorissue s and affect your bottom line. If you are ananima l lover, we know this can be a bitter pill toswall ow, but r ead on…. Here is wh at to do withpets when selling a h ome.Very often, we hear, “my cat is so nice” and“my dog doesn’t bark.” Well, we have hadthat “nice” cat attack potential buyers anddraw blood, and that “non-barking” dog getso territorial it barks, growls, and scaresbuyers and agents — so much they have toleave. You very well might have the mostwell-mannered pet(s), but you never knowhow they will react to strangers coming intoyour home (nor do you know how a strangerwill treat your pet).Wheth er your home is being held open or havinga s howing, below are jus t some reaso ns why petsneed to be rem oved from your home during thesetimes .W H Y D O P E T S N E E D T O G O …It may seem h ard to believ e, but the fear of catsand dogs is the most commo n animal fe ar. Whilemany pe ople may not outr ight fear pets, they arenot c omfortable around them . We hav e seenclien ts refuse to go into homes that have pets . Ofcours e, when selling, the goal is t o get as manypeopl e through your doo r as po ssible to expan dthe f ield of interest .F E A R & N E R V E SU N P R E D I C T A B I L I T YHere are some ways our clients haveresolved the issue of pets:1. Leave them with family or friends whileyour home is on the market2. Board them for a specific amount of time3. Take them to work with you for the day (ifthis is an option).4. Hire a dog walker to remove them forshowings5. Ask a close neighbor to take your petduring showings6.

During the inspection period, we will schedule an inspection with a reputablehome inspector to do a thorough investigation of the home. Once this iscomplete, the inspector will provide the buyer with a list of findings. Order the inspectionsFINAL STEPSThe buyer's lender will arrange for a third-party appraiser to provide anindependent estimate of the value of the house. The appraisal lets all partiesinvolved know that the price is fair. The loan file then moves on to the mortgageunderwriter. Order the appraisalIssues could arise after the home inspection, and those issues tend to result inanother round of negotiations for credits or fixes. 1. The buyer could ask for credit for the work that needs to be done. 2. Think “big picture” and don’t sweat the small stuff. A tile that needs somecaulking or a leaky faucet can easily be fixed. We have a list of licensedprofessionals that can help with any repairs.3. Keep your poker face. The buyer's agent will be present during inspectionsand revealing your emotions or getting defensive could result in more difficultnegotiations. Negotiate final offer
