Home  Sell A House Understanding The Buyer
As the seller, you can control three factors that will affect the sale of your home:
* The home's condition
* Asking price
* Marketing strategy
However, it's important to note that there are numerous other factors that influence a buyer, and you need to understand these consumer trends when you enter the sellers' market. The more your home matches these qualifications, the more competitive it will be in the marketplace. Your real estate agent can advise you on how to best position and market your home to overcome any perceived downsides.
Location
Unfortunately, the most influential factor in determining your home's appeal to buyers is something you can't control: its location. According to the National Association of REALTORS(r), neighborhood quality is the No. 1 reason buyers choose certain homes. The second most influential factor is commute times to work and school.
Size
While some buyers want to simplify their lives and downsize to a smaller home, home sizes in general have continued to increase over the decades, nearly doubling in size since the 1950s. Smaller homes typically appeal to first-time home buyers and "empty nesters," or couples whose children have grown up and moved out.
Amenities
Preferences in floor plans and amenities go in and out of fashion, and your real estate agent can inform you of the "hot ticket" items that are selling homes in your market. If your home lacks certain features, you can renovate to increase its appeal, but be forewarned: That's not always the right move. Using market conditions and activity in your neighborhood as a gauge, your agent can help you determine whether the investment is likely to help or hinder your profit margin and time on the market.

"Webster Team made our first home buying experience as painless as
possible. Bob did more than we asked of him. We told him what we wanted
and he stuck to it. Even sticking to the price range we outlined. He
cared more about what we could afford than his commissions. We looked
at literally hundreds of houses on both sides of the state line. His
experience in home repair is invaluable to your search. There were
houses that looked fine to us, but he could tell had problems. The
house we ended up buying needed foundation repair that had scared a lot
of people off. But Bob knew it looked worse than it was and could be
fixed easily. We ended up with an amazing deal on a great house. Since
then we have used their tools. That's right it's no lie. They will let
you use their own personal tools on your home repairs. Who does that?
If you are looking to buy or sell your house you must use Webster Team."
-- Paul & Kristin Van Sickle
