I desperatly need to sell my home. What can I do to move it fast? Cheaper homes are all around me.?

Answer 1

In this market in many areas there are numerous houses for sale and this is adding to the difficulty for some to sell their homes quickly. Many Realtors and homeowners are offering incentives to help speed up the sale of their homes. Some incentive ideas that I have heard of are a 1 year car lease, a specified number of months payments made, lawn care for a year, cleaning service for a year, home warranty for a year, and many many more. These types of incentives can help to separate your home from the others.
Curb appeal is a major focal point for potential buyers, especially when looking for a bunch of homes in the same ballpark price range. Hire a landscaper to come out clean your beds, throw a fresh layer of mulch, plant a few nice looking cheap plants, trim your bushes and hedges, edge your beds, driveway and walks, and just clean up your yard and exterior to your home to give it a better curb appeal.

Answer 2

If you are in desperate need unfortunately you have to sell if for less than its worth. Don't try anything like selling it yourself or calling one of those we buy houses places. List with a Realtor and price it below market value. Realtors will give you the most exposure to the public. Before you do this though look into other refinancing options if that may help.

Answer 3

Consider lowering the price to a closer price to the surrounding ones, but since yours is probably nicer don't go too low. Also, consider selling it to a real estate investor in your area. The best way to get it to move though is to have a real estate agent list it on the local MLS. Everybody checks real estate agents first cause of the convenience of being able to look at multiple listings. Do expect at least 30 days to close unless its strictly a cash sale.

Answer 4

Try lowering your asking price

Try doing some "cosmetic touches" to add the appearance of additional value to make your current price seem cheap for the "perceived value".

Be willing to carry some of the value on a note between you and the buyer. This lowers the needed money the buyer gets from the bank - making it easier to acquire financing. After they have made payments for a year, you can broker the note for a slight discount and cash out to an investor.

Answer 5

you need to make the house look appealing inside and out so make sure its clean has nice cupboards, windows etc. You can take the price down some to be closer to the homes selling around.. found a site with a ton of home seller tips that I think will help

Answer 6

If houses around you are cheaper, then why are you holding the price. Drop to sell . Unless you are willing to to upgrade some selling features, but then you're desperate. meaning you have limited disposable income.

So back to square one. It's about time for the balloon to go pop, pop, pop.

Answer 7

Pricing is critical. You must price yours below all the others. Or... offer to carry the financing (which you can only do if you own it outright and don't need the full sales price immediately).

Answer 8

Price.
Condition.
Marketing.

Not necessarily in that order.
Is your home listed with a Realtor?
Is it priced competitively? (Does not sound like it)
Is it in great shape.

If you really have no time, and you have a Realtor, ask about auctions.

Answer 9

Lower your price,
Make your house the best looking one in the area, paint landscaping etc
