Pricing to sell is imperative don’t miss the Harvard Home Study report

Another study from Mary McKnight of RSSPieces alma Mater Harvard. 

A recent study done by The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard is suggesting a slower recovery to the housing market than at first expected.   This State of the Nation’s Housing Report is another indication that pricing today is extremely important.  If the pricing trend is downward it is imperative that sellers in today’s market take into consideration how they price their homes.

Holding out for a higher price when comps and prices seem to be heading in downward direction makes imperative that pricing to sell now may net you more than waiting for the next upturn.

Of course everyone’s situation is unique but with the tremendous amount of foreclosures and short sales available and the comparables they produce are taking a toll.

Inventory is still high, and for you buyers out there the choices are terrific. 

What can you Sellers do?  How would you answer the following questions?

Take a look at this report from Harvard and ask:

• How much are you paying towards just your housing costs?
• How long do you want to continue making those payments before you recoup the accumulated costs of pricing it now to sell?
• Are you prepared for the downward trend the current foreclosures have on home prices
• Do you still have alot of new home inventory and how will that effect the choices in close to your neighborhood?
• If the slump continues are prepared to bear the costs?

Attention Orlando Real Estate home sellers check out this hot report.

If you stil have any doubts take a closer look at the Harvard Report

If you have to sell your in this market Pricing is the most important element.

Foreign investors still attracted to great real estate opportunities.

Now I have your attention, just what does Orlando Florida Real Estate have in common with New York’s Big Apple Real Estate?

Both have attracted foreign real estate investors.  This has helped pick up local real estate sales numbers despite a high foreclosure rate and huge inventories.

One Italian Real Estate Magnate J. Jonah Jameson has invested in one of New York cities first historic buildings the Flatiron, according to an article which will be published in this Friday’s Times Magazine by Jeff Israely.

Florida real estate too has seen an upswing of foreign investors as their currency is still strong against the dollar.  In Orlando we are seeing this in and around the short term rental resort communities.

The best part is what that $$ will buy in Orlando versus NY prices.  Like New York, Orlando offers its own brand of family entertainment and is still a sought after location for a second home. 

Check it out there are values to be found right now in the short term zoned areas close to shopping, resort parks, golf, and minutes to either coastline.

So what are you waiting for? Check out all the short term opportunities now.

Orlando Real Estate hot topic of pricing your home for sale.

Orlando Real Estate hot topic of pricing your home for sale.  What can you do if your home hasn’t sold?  Pricing is the most important element. 

If you have had lots of showings and not a single offer you will want to consider lowering your price 4-6%.  Painful but if you have had no offers after 30 days on the market this is step one.

Most often if properties were priced correctly in the first place they will attract attention with this simple solution.

If you home wasn’t priced correctly in the beginning you will need to take more drastic steps.  What can you do now?

Ok you may fall into the category of getting a few showings or calls but not any follow up interest.  You will need to take more drastic steps and lower your price 6-12% to attract buyers in this market.

If you are getting only a couple internet views and no one coming to look inside even after getting the flyer out of the box while driving by you will need to lower your price 12%.

With so many homes on the market and so many choices it is imperative to be competitively priced.

Search all homes for sale today in Orlando with so many choices and great rates check out what is available in your price range.  Sellers check out your competition.
