Top 5 Misconceptions & Mistakes When Pricing Your Home In Kansas City

kellyinkc — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:57:32 +0000

I have worked in Kansas City real estate for almost 6 years and I wanted to share with you the Top 5 Common Mistakes When Pricing A Home. Remmber these factors DO NOT affect the market value of Kansas City real estate, thus the proper listing price of your home.

• Your Original Purchase Price : Most likely you paid the market value at the time of your purchase. Markets change, sometimes quikly, and today we have to deal with the current market conditions which may have changed significantly from when you purchased the home.

• Over Improvement or Certain Types of Improvements: Improvements should be made for enjoyment, not resale. You cannot add an item to a home, select it to your style, use it and then expect a buyer to pay the original cost.

• The Owner’s Need for Money: The owners need for money, the amount of closing costs, realtor fees the seller must pay or the fact that the owner is moving to a more expensive home has nothing to do with the home’s current market value.

• The Cost to Rebuild It Today

• The Seller’s Personal Attachment to the Property: The seller will often have personal attachements and special memories associated with their home that must be overlooked for a true market analysis. For proper pricing techniques, contact Brad Papa your local Kansas City real estate agent at http://www.PapasInTheHouse.com for a free market analysis.

Tips And Secrets On How To Sell My Home Fast

kellyinkc — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:25:30 +0000

Why hasn’t my home sold? Are there secrets to getting my house sold in today’s market? I hear these questions many times from sellers and while there are some things you can control, there others you can’t. It’s best to focus on what you can change! Click here for more information on Brad Papa’s free seminar – How To Get Your Home Sold Fast

Some things you can control:

Price: Pricing your home over the market value is the number on reason that a home does not sell. The most important factor to consider is that if a home is overpriced it won’t even show up in a buyer’s search! Buyer’s won’t even have the chance to fall in love with your home because it is just out of their range and they won’t even see it listed in their search.

Condition: Is your home move-in ready? Has it been recently remodeled in a neutral color scheme or are there a lot of fix ups that are needed? The condition of the property can dramatically increase or decrease the price of a home. Check out my other articles for some great tips: Top 5 Tips For Getting Your Home Ready For A Showing or Top Tips For Getting Your Home Ready To Sale

Availability: You control if a buyer has access to your property, so make sure that when an agent or showing company calls for a potential appointment, you make every effort to rearrange your schedule to accommodate them.

Appliances: Which ones are staying and which ones are going. This is especially important for first time home buyers who may not have certain appliances.

Some things you can’t control, but do affect how quickly your home sells:

Location: Is it in a good neighborhood that is highly desirable? Do you back to a busy street, are you near the train tracks, how close is the nearest grocery store.

Layout: Unless you plan on doing major renovations, the layout is something you cannot change. Here are some of the things that potential buyers might have on their “must have” lists: open floor plan, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms and their location, size of rooms and closets

Yard: A lot of people look for a larger yard, and some are looking for a fence. Others require a deck or patio
