We All Want to Get the Deal Done at the Right Price!!

By Sherri Sue Parkin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties

Pricing your home can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. The most important thing to know is what is your bottom line and then talk with your agent to figure out how to get there.

Listen to my podcast on pricing strategies
Image

Price High

Give Your Buyer a Deal!

So your potential buyer loves your home, but the price seems so high, so what? You know you have a good amount of cushion in the price because you want the buyer to feel they got a deal.

This is best for properties above the Jumbo loan limit; properties listed above $600,000–price them wherever you think you will find buyers and then give them a deal!!

Image

Price Low

Get a Feeding Frenzy Going!

OMG Multiple Offers!!  Price a little under the Market Price and attract the best offer out there!! This can be a little stressful there is a lot to think about when deciding the best offer. Pre-qual, concessions, closing time, contingencies, just to name a few!

This pricing strategy is for homes below $300,00.

Image

Price Just Right

Know you priced it perfect

When you price it right you know your perfect buyer is right around the corner.  The buyer who wants your home and believes in its value.  This is really a relaxing point of view!  This Pricing is best between $300,000 and $600,000

The Limit is due to the Jumbo Loan Limit of $510,000.

Pricing doesn’t have to be difficult! 

Call me and we can discuss your best pricing strategy!!

Why I only take 90 day listings!

3 Comments
Image

When I first told my Broker I wanted to do 90 day listings she was a little taken aback to say the least!!  In fact we had quite a heated discussion about it. But, in the end I stuck to my plan and it WORKED!!! 

During an 18 month Period-Here Are My Listing Statistics!!!

41 Homes Sold in 2 Weeks or Less

15 Homes Sold 16-31 Days

  8 Homes Sold 32-60 Days

  5 Homes Sold 61-90 Days

  3 Homes Sold 91-119 Days

  1 Home Sold over 120 days (Crazy Escrow that fell out)

TIME IS MONEY…NOT ONLY TO YOU!

BUT TO ME AS WELL!!!

One of the first things I ask in a Listing Appointment is, “If I got you an offer this week are you ready to sell?” Their reaction tells me EVERYTHING!!  Surprisingly not all Sellers are ready to sell!!! 

If YOU ARE READY to get a SOLD sign in front of your home CALL ME 480-809-5853!

Let’s talk for 15 minutes and figure out why your home

didn’t sell last time

NO OBLIGATION-LET ME HELP YOU!!

Why didn’t your home sell?

2 Comments

Image

The first question that you need to know the answer to is WHY?  Why didn’t you get offers or meaningful offers? It truly is rarely about price!!  

My Own Home was listed by a Broker–after a few months I had to fire him!!  I had someone show me the listing and there were so many errors that I had no choice but to take it off the market and start over. 

BUT, that turned out to be a great thing!!  I sold it with another agent using the techniques I now use, now that I am an agent, for others and we got it sold (in one WEEK!!) for more than it was originally listed for with the Realtor I fired. 

Call me today for a no cost, no obligation 15 minute conversation about how I can get your home sold and for more money than you could get otherwise. You can also schedule your 15 minute call with me right here.

Virtual Tours and Buying and Selling

Aside

AT THIS TIME WITH COVID-19

Image
With so much going on you may wonder are there people still buying and selling real estate? The answer is yes…sort of!  Open Houses are completely stopped and Owner Occupied Showings have been either stopped, restricted by appointment only, or gone Temp Off Market. 
 
So what does that mean for Real Estate?  It means that more offers are being put in based on pictures or Virtual Tours (done by your local Realtor).  Vacant properties are more ideal for buyers.  In addition, Investors looking for properties to rent with Tenants in place are also now available. 
Image
The Good News: Extended Inspection Times and COVID-19 Clauses that allow for the Buyer to evaluate the situation that COVID-19 is having on them before closing.  While you may not be able to see the property you are buying there are innovative ways to get you comfortable that the property you are buying is a good fit for whatever your current real estate needs are.
Image
 So, wherever in the World YOU are, when you are ready to buy in Phoenix, I am there for you!! Let me pre-view the homes you are interested in, take video’s and send them to you via Instagram, FaceTime, Messaging or What’s App…you decide!!
 
I can be your eyes in today’s market where homes are still going fast and the ability to travel is not always possible!!

Phoenix home search NOW!!

What To Do While You Are Deciding To Buy!

PART 2 OF 2

Questions 

You probably have a lot of questions.?!

Your realtor is a great person to ask all of your questions to.  While they may not have all the answers they should be able to point you in the right direction on who to ask the question to so that you get the answer you need.  There are no insignificant questions so ask all of them!

Image

Crunch the Numbers

Know your closing costs and out of pocket costs!

There is a lot to think about when you are crunching the numbers, closing costs can be a surprise if you haven’t looked into everything that it includes, like Title Costs, Inspections, Appraisals, HOA Prepaids, Capital HOA fees, Home Warranty, Loan Costs. Sometimes you are able to ask the Seller to help with those costs in the form of Concessions. Talk to your Realtor for a realistic view.

Image

Plan for your Pets

Keep in mind your home purchase and your pets

When you have pets, there are special considerations in choosing your next home.  Be sure to find out about any pet rules and not only ask for the rules, but be sure to read the CC&R’s (The HOA Rules) and make sure the information you received is correct. There can be rules on the type of pet, to the weight of the pet and the number of pets.  No one ever wants to buy a home only to find out their pets are not welcome! 

There IS a lot to do and think about! 

YOU CAN DO IT!!

While there is so much to do and think about, there is help!! To set up your own personalized consultation NO obligation call/text me at 480-809-5853

We all want a smooth transaction from beginning to end!

By Sherri Sue Parkin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties

While every home transaction is different, there is so much that you can do to make yours as smooth as possible!  Take some time to do a budget.  Go through your bank statements and credit card statements and find out what you really are spending each month, don’t forget those things you pay cash for like baby sitters and tips.  The last 3 months is a good time period to see what your spending habits are, however, for utilities you will want to take a one year average.  If you are like me you probably found auto payments for things you never even use!  Cancel them even if they are only a few dollars each month…it all adds up!  Then create categories for what are necessities and what are niceties.  This is all being done to find your comfort zone for your mortgage payment and in some cases HOA dues.  You always want to stay within your comfort zone, not just what you qualify for.

reach out to a lender now!

Figure Out the Pros and cons of Moving-You may be surprised!

Write all the reasons you can think of and Update them Daily!

Sometimes we think we need to stay for a neighbor only to have the neighbor move themselves, or we love a favorite restaurant only for them to sell and it no longer is the same.  Then there are other factors for wanting to move like living closer to work or a loved one.  What are your main reasons for wanting to move?  Why do you want to stay?

To Buy a New Home or An Existing Home?

Decide on whether you want to buy a NEW or Existing Home?

If you think you want to buy a NEW Home, you MUST find your own realtor before you go out looking at NEW Model Homes!!  If you don’t then you are giving up your rights to have your own realtor representation.  The agents at the Model Homes represent ONLY the SELLER!!  Always bring your realtor to the design center…so you don’t overspend!!

So When is the Right Time?

You WILL Know! You literally will wake up and say, “I am ready!!”

So make sure you have done what you need to do to prepare for putting in your best offer so that you stand out and get the home you want!!

There's No Better Time Than NOW!!
