Virginia Beach Real Estate Agent, David Manning considers these factors when pricing his client's home to help attract serious buyers and to prevent long days on market, which ultimately, come at a cost.
Recently Sold Homes
Listing prices are not reality, sale prices indicate the market. Increase in sale price, will increase the value of your home.
Market Conditions
Market conditions affect how long it takes your home to sell. In a seller’s market, homes tend to sell quickly. In a buyer’s market homes can take longer!
Interest Rates
As interest rates decrease more buyers are able to buy homes. This data impacts how much you can sell your home for.
Supply and Demand
Prices and rates change as supply or demand changes. If houses are in demand and supply begins to shrink, house prices will rise.
Fair Market Value
Your home value is based on what buyers in the market are willing to pay for your home. Competitive Market Analysis is used to find that best price.
Owner's Needs
Size, location, value, space, age, condition, upgrades and updates will all be factors in calculating the price and finding the right buyer!
STEP 3: PREPARE & SHOW OFF YOUR HOME
The first impression of your home will secure or kill the sale of your property. Your property must be immaculately presented before any inspection in order to achieve top price.
As a highly experienced and knowledgeable agent,wqaa I target and use a variety of marketing initiatives to market your property so as to reach out to those potential buyers. This could include creating a website, utilizing social media, setting up private showings, and organizing open houses to show off the best features of your home.
For example, many buyers in Hampton Roads like to know if the home has central air during those hot humid summers or if the house has water views. Highlighting these special features that target Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and surrounding areas will increase the chances of having a quick, smooth sale.
STEP 4: OFFERS, NEGOTIATIONS & PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Getting a strong initial offer is our goal when selling your home. After all the preparation and marketing we've done, if the initial offer is not within the range of your listing price you will have to negotiate.
If the initial offering is below what you were hoping for as your agent we will begin the counteroffer process to settle on an agreed-upon price.
Next is the purchase agreement, this is a legal binding document that has a number of steps!
Contingencies
Conditions that must be met to close the sale of your home.These include home inspections, financing, appraisals.
Earnest Money
This is the amount of money the buyer will pay to the seller. This takes the house off the market!
Fixtures and Appliances
A review of the features and appliances that are included in the sale of the house. This is part of the inspection process.
Disclosures
Disclosures relate to any issue or facts about the house that as the seller we are legally required to reveal to the buyer.
Closing Costs
Closing costs are a breakdown of which expenses the buyer and seller will each be responsible for at closing.
Settlement
The settlement is an exciting part of the process. This identifies when the buyer will be moving in and the seller is moving out.
