We have just had one of our best starts in years in Coeur D'Alene in over a decade. Sales in our area are up over 200% and sale prices are up by 25% in some neighborhoods! With current conditions, the market is very active and it's a great time to buy or sell. Interest rates are still extremely low and banks are loosening their criteria, making things much easier for buyers.
Here's some more good news for you: Some of the California markets that were feeding us for the last 15 years or so have hit their peak, so they are now able to get up here and cash out, paying us the fair market value. It's a great time to buy or sell in Coeur D'Alene, and we'd love to help you out. If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you!
Good morning everybody, and welcome back to my video blog. Today I want to talk about what's going on in the market of $150,000-$250,000 homes. We've got very low inventory and because of that we are creating bidding wars for a lot of our listings. Bidding wars are essentially when more than one person wants to buy a property. Most times it ends up going to the highest and best offer. However, the highest offer and the best offer are not mutually exclusive.
The best offer is the one that is most convenient to the seller. It could be a cash offer, with a quick closing period, or an offer that eliminates contingencies. Basically, the best offer is the one that will give the sellers the least amount of stress.
If you or anybody you know wants to find out how we can do this for you, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to create a bidding war for your home!
Today we are going to talk about marketing your home. One of the biggest problems we see when it comes to marketing your home is that the home is not prepared well enough before someone comes to take professional photos for your online listing.
When you get your home ready for sale, you need to make sure everything is cleared away: the photos are off the fridge and the knickknacks are off the counters. When people see your photos online, they will be blown away and ready to visit your home.
For buyers, you want them to be able to imagine themselves living in your home, and that's tough to do when somebody else's stuff is in it. We just ask you to think about clearing away as much as you can and making your home ready to rock and roll.
If you have any questions for us, give us a call or send us an email. We are here to help!
