Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:19:33 +0000 http://towne-country.com/?p=2593#comment-1181 [...] There are 74 homes on the market currently and in the last 6 months there were 74 home listings that were canceled or expired.  Several of these are back on the market at lower prices and many did not come back at all.  The chart does not show this, but we have almost 70 months of inventory~this means, that if not one other listing comes on the market it would take 70 months to sell all that is out there now.  Sounds depressing doesn’t it, but it doesn’t have to be that way for YOU!  As you can see, the pending/under agreement sales are on the rise slightly and when a home is priced accordingly, it is more likely it will sell.  However, if rates creep up, the sales prices need to be adjusted downward to be in line with a buyers purchasing power and we all know that rates go up much quicker than home prices drop~we wrote a blog about this earlier you may want to read up on that here.

Although, I've never been a big fan of that report. I think the ROI column is regularly wayyy off. BTW: If you can find me a painter that will paint the outside of my house for $1000, send them over :) Great article, and right on the money. Although, I’ve never been a big fan of that report.

Things you “Don’t want to do”…”Don’t make plans right at the start to lower price, make improvements….”
Do I not want to not make plans to lower price?

Somewhat confusing as I said but I guess I get the premise as a real estate professional but as a seller I’m confused what the message is…

Further along…do I not want to consider moving furniture or clutter out? Again…”Don’t even consider moving out furniture…etc…”

Just my observations.

But I'm not sure the above video is a good example of "de-cluttering and simple staging." While some of the "before" photos clearly show rooms that need improvement, the "after" photos show the rooms with entirely different furniture. That's not showing the value of de-cluttering. It's showing the value of filling your room with entirely different furniture and what person is going to do that when they're getting ready to move? Great tips!
