The most important item to consider when selling your home in a market like we have now is...SETTING THE ASKING PRICE! Up unitl about 2007, local home prices have increased dramatically. In about late 2007, the market slowed and the changed from a Seller's market to a Buyer's market very quickly. As a result, homes were no longer appreciating at the rate of the past. Some homes had been appreciating as much as 8-10% per year for the previous 3-5 years creating some excellent equity for home owners. In today's market, a Buyer has a lot of choices when it comes to considering housing options. Home sellers need to be ready for a market they may have never experienced before. Home Sellers....look very closely at homes in your nearby area that have SOLD…
