What are the two most important factors when selling a home?
Answer: Price and condition are the two most important factors in selling a home in the Shreveport Bossier City real estate market, even in a down market.
The first step selling Shreveport Bossier City real estate is to price your home correctly. Use comparative sales information, the value of other homes that have recently sold in your neighborhood. MAIN OFFICE® real estate agent professionalsare happy to help you obtain and make sense of this information. You may also pay for a Shreveport or Bossier City real estate professional appraiser usually ($400 to $500), to objectively evaluate your home's value.
Second, go through the house and repair any obvious cosmetic defects that could deter a buyer.
In a down market, you may have to consider lowering your price and/or making a major repair, such as replacing the roof, in order to lure a buyer.
Also, make sure that your home is getting exposure to it's target real estate market.
