Home Sellers: "I Don't Want To Give My Home Away"
DESCRIPTION:
A fascinating dichotomy exists in today's St. George real estate market where some sellers face bidding wars while others can't get a showing. We explore the crucial strategy of pricing homes correctly to create buyer competition rather than endless price reductions.
• Current market data shows only an 18% chance of selling your home in the first month
• Almost every home will sell within two weeks of hitting the right price
• Strategic pricing creates buyer competition, like the $12 bottle of water at the Cosmopolitan
• Proper preparation includes staging, decluttering, and professional photography
• Inventory varies dramatically by price point: 2.8 months under $500K, 5.5 months from $500K-$1M, and 9.7 months over $1M
• Homes that sell without price reductions typically get 99-100% of asking price
• Most homeowners have 60% more equity than five years ago, far exceeding normal appreciation
• The best time to contact an agent is 30-120 days before listing to ensure proper preparation
