I mean lets have some fun! Lets start here with websites you can list at. But then let me explain a few things..
> fsbo.com *** > owners.com *** > soldin21days.com *** > forsalebyowner.com ***** > > homesbyowner.com > fsbo.net > virtualfsbo.com > fsboamerica.org > fsboadvertisingservice.com > isoldmyhouse.com > fsbo.byowner.com
The ones with stars are the best the others will bring traffic and up your asking.. I wish you luck. Since your selling, it doesnt hurt to add some paint to the inside and outside, sand some floors, add some corkscrew bushes and landscape rubber. Pay a maid service to spitshine the house windows and all, kitchens and bathrooms. Clear any clutter, put fresh flowers in the bathrooms, master bedroom and kitchen. One more step is to punch a hole in the roof and call it a skylight, and concrete stain your driveway and walkway. In one bathroom buy a $300 jacuzzi tub and replace it (Master). Oh an add some of those inexpensive solar light that stick in the dirt and line the driveway and walkway. Some uplights to light the face of the home for the expensive lighting effects. NOW, your property is "Landscaped property, new paint inside and out, newly sanded floors, skylight, solar powered lit walkway and driveway, jacuzzi in master bath" We talking $2000-$3500 MAX. Make sure you bake something in the house 2hrs before and make the open house at dusk so that they can see the lighting effect or have the picture of the house at night too in a frame that all can see. Make it as large as you can (use a 10mega pixel camera) and blow it up and put it on the diningroom table to all to see next to that bowl or plate full of sweets. May take 2 weeks but I bet on the third you wont have a house...I call it lipstick and blush. (With more time, say 3 more weeks) you can change the flooring in the kitchen and maybe even the tile in the bathroom for $2000 more. So for $6000 you call an appraiser and make it smell and look like your having an open house and Im sure it will appraise $50-75K more then it would of. THEN you can still sell it for your price and it will fly off the market (Cause you will have a copies of the appraisal where all can see on a table or something) or you can have a bidding war and watch them get closer to the new appraisal price. Bottom line, I dont know what your financial situation is but I would put a lien on my car and/or house to get that money to do it. You will get it back at closing anyway =)
So if you really want to sell your house and make about $20-$50K more then have some fun and watch the bidding war BEGIN!!!!!

ONLY if you can find a buyer.
This is America and you can even lose money on it if you want to. If you have a prepayment penalty, it could cost you many thousands of dollars just to pay off the loan. There also selling fees if you sell through a real estate agent.
You may lose a fair amount of money if you sell it quickly, HOWEVER there is no guarantee that the house will EVER be worth more than you paid...

Very intently if in any respect. it is provided in a foul marketplace to get caught with 2 residences and mortgages which you will not get out of leaving you in financial wreck. There are issues including bridge loans etc., yet once you at the instant are not useful of what you're doing and don't have alot of greater suitable funds do not purchase something till after the sale of the 1st house is carried out and you have all the money in hand. For the less state-of-the-artwork, it incredibly is the main secure and optimal way. in case you may desire to stay someplace else for a on an identical time as you are able to continuously hire till the 1st house is bought. in many cases a quick term hire can permit you get out of condominium funds very at as quickly as. or maybe stay in a hotel at a weekly fee, its a heck of alot greater constructive than going bankrupt with 2 mortgages you are able to not cope with. customer beware.

You are allowed to sell it any time you want to, once you own it. There could be a prepayment penalty in your mortgage though if you sell very quickly.

Yes, it's called flipping. In order to get more money than it cost you, generally you do have to have done something to add value, like repainting, cleaning, repairing.

Yes, but unless improvements are made, you won't see a profit......
