And jussst liiike thattt this home is PENDING!
✨8 days on the market
✨7 showings
✨Multiple offers
➡️Will they all pend this fast? No.
❓Why? Well, the market is like a toddler. Mostly adorable, mostly fun, and mostly happy. 😊 👶🏼
But, it can also be a bit unpredictable and highly susceptible to influences outside of a seller or agents control.
❓Like what?
I’m so glad you asked! Here are just 3 examples -
➡️ A home may take a little longer to sell because of its location in comparison to the current geographic needs/wants of the market.
➡️ A home you adored that is 700 sqft may be too small for the average person, or one that is 5000 sqft may be more square footage than the average person desires.
➡️ Some homes attract buyers specifically because they are ‘low maintenance needed,’ and some attract buyers who love a project!
This list could go on and on about why certain houses take longer to sell than others, BUT a good agent (just like a good toddler parent) anticipates those bumps in the road and has plans to rise above the challenge. 🍼🤩
➡️ Appropriate pricing
➡️ Strategic marketing
➡️ Creative open houses
➡️ Knowing current market trends - what buyers in your area are purchasing, how much they are willing to pay, and knowing how comparable homes have appraised
This list could also go on and on! And it’s true, sometimes a home is just plain “buyer specific” and we have to wait until that special buyer who is ✨just right✨ for your unique home finds us. But during the waiting, we will be marketing, searching for them, and ready when they show up!
If you’ve thought about selling but just aren’t sure where to start, or are just curious what your home is worth, I’d love to treat you to coffee ☕️ or a Coke🥤to talk things over!
Leave a comment and I’ll be touch!
