Factors

Factor's in Selling Your Home

Many factors affect both the amount of time it will take your property to sell and the price you will receive for it. Some of these factors we can control, other we cannot.

FACTORS WE CAN CONTROL:

Listing price is the single most important factor in the sale of your property. The best way to ensure the timely sale of your property is to price it competitively.
The better the condition of your property, the higher price it should bring and the faster it should sell. (See home selling tips for valuable suggestions on preparing your home to look it's very best.)
By exposing your property to the broadest possible audience through a coordinated marketing plan, you’ll have a better chance of attracting a qualified buyer.
Your flexibility in negotiating the terms of your agreement (points, closing date, appliances, etc.) can also enhance your ability to sell your property.

FACTORS WE CANNOT CONTROL:

If there are a large number of comparable properties for sale, there is more competition for buyers. In a supply and demand market like real estate, a large inventory of similar properties makes the REALTORS® job more challenging.
The location is another key factor in the sale of your property.
The economy will also affect the sale of your property, particularly through interest rates and consumer confidence.
