Return to List HF Real Estate News
Posted on May 4, 2010
HF saw two home sales in the 1st quarter of 2010 as compared to only one sale in the 1st quarter of 2009. While this is a positive sign that sales are picking up, prices are remaining low.
This seems to be the same citywide and sellers are seeking ways to lure buyers. Pricing seems the largest attraction right now but there are other things to consider in your negotiation process. Ask your listing agent to complete a Seller’s Net Sheet for you using different scenarios for the sale of your property including price adjustments.
Also, one of the top offers that appeal to buyers is a home warranty. This product ranges from $325 to $500 approximately, depending on the policy, and offers a sense of security to a buyer, especially when buying an older home.
Money is tight for everyone right now and getting a mortgage can be a real stretch for some people even though they easily qualify. Sellers can offer to pay some or all of the buyers closing costs.
Have your home “pre-inspected” and take care of any repairs that could come up and potentially scare off a buyer. Inspections generally range from $350-$500 for the average size home and are a great investment to ensure no surprises in the cost of repairs.
Please ask your agent to include information about our neighborhood, schools and pool in their listing. Huntingtowne Farms is a fabulous place to live and raise a family and is often overshadowed by newer neighborhoods in the area.
