Price your home aggressively. When mortgage rates are low and buyers are chasing too few houses for sale, sellers can ask high prices and get them. Even when houses are overpriced for the market, sellers are likely to receive some offers, as buyers are often desperate to find a home that meets their needs. When things are slow, pricing is absolutely critical. But instead of pricing your home aggressively high, you should consider pricing your home no higher than the middle of the range for homes comparable to yours. And if you need to sell your home quickly, you should consider pricing your home among in the bottom 25 percent of comparable homes. Why? With few buyers chasing many homes, you need to quickly get the attention of those who are serious about buying, If your home is priced too high, you’ll get few buyers to even consider looking at your home.

Finding the right agent is critical. Any agent can list your house. You need a first-class real estate professional on your side. They’ll help with everything from pricing to advising you on key issues.

Curb appeal. After pricing, nothing brings more potential buyers into your home than a house with outstanding curb appeal. If it doesn’t stand out, then it’s time to get to work.

Consider home staging. The quickest way to add home value to a home for sale is a fresh coat of paint. After that, staging. Either DIY or hire an outside firm to. A home staging professional can come in and take away some furnishings or rearrange others to make your home show better. When home sales were going gangbusters this was a technique used mostly for selling high-end homes. When things get slow and homeowners need to sell, more people find home staging professionals to help prepare their home to make it more appealing to prospective buyers.

🚨URGENT!🚨 Hollywood's iconic "blonde bombshell" Marilyn Monroe left us way too soon, and now her house where she lived—and died in 1962—may also be lost **if we don't act quickly.** Owners have filed plans to build a new house on the site of Monroe's 1929 Spanish, hacienda-style home in Brentwood, and it appears clearance for a demolition permit may already be in place. Identified in 2013 by the City's SurveyLA program as being potentially historic, the house is currently unprotected.

While we are definitely in the 11th hour, please reach out to Councilmember Councilwoman Traci Park ([email protected] and 213-473-7011) and ask her to *immediately* initiate the Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) process for Monroe's house at 12305 5th Helena Drive!

If not too late and successful, this could allow the City and residents to consider if Monroe's house should be protected, spared from demolition, and ultimately designated as an HCM. This action can still allow owners to update and even expand the house if desired but ensure its essential character, and Monroe's association, is maintained.

The Simi, Moorpark & Conejo Valley home inventory is still at record lows for the year. This is good news if you are thinking about selling your home.

Inventory in real estate refers to the number of properties that are available for sale in a particular market or area. In other words, it represents the supply of homes that are currently on the market and available for purchase.

Inventory is an important factor in the real estate market because it can affect both buyers and sellers. If there is a low inventory of homes for sale, buyers may have fewer options to choose from, which can drive up competition and prices. Conversely, if there is a high inventory of homes for sale, sellers may face more competition and may need to lower their prices to attract buyers.

Real estate professionals use inventory as a metric to measure the health of the market. They may track the number of homes that are available for sale, the average days on market, and the number of new listings that are coming onto the market. This information can help them to determine whether the market is favoring buyers or sellers and can help to guide their pricing and marketing strategies.

Overall, inventory is an important factor in the real estate market, as it can impact pricing, competition, and overall market health. By tracking inventory trends, real estate professionals can make informed decisions about buying, selling, and marketing properties in a particular market.
