If you are planning to sell your home this year, here are the best 10 tips that will help you sell it quickly & give value:
1. Carefully, time your Selling Period
Avoid times when sales are slow, for example major public holidays, major sporting events and festivals.
2. Research the Market
It is important to find out what the competition is in your area. Ask yourself, “Who is my competition?”, “What is it going to take to sell my home?”, “How can I make my home different & appealing?”
3. Rise above emotions
Put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer and see the house.
Homebuyers are in the market to buy your “space” not your “stuff”. How you live in your house and the way you sell your house are two different concepts. Try to see your house through the eyes of a prospective buyer.
4. Identify the Things you Love Most
Make a list. Rediscover what attracted you to your home. After you have identified these things, plan and showcase them to their best potential.
5. Declutter your Home
Your home is a reflection of you. Take the time to look at the picture you will be protraying to potential buyers. De-cluttering and minimizing will enhance the space and functionality of your home. Space does sell!
6. Fix It to Sell It
If it is broken, faded, rusty, out-dated, dripping or dying, then replace it, remove it, repaint it or restore it. No one wants to buy your maintenence problems!
7. Always Maintain Feel Good Appeal
Remember, you are “open” for business 24/7 during the market period. Potential buyers often do “drive-bys” before they will make an appointment to preview the interior. Make sure your front yard maintains an “inviting” feel.
8. Get the “WOW” Factor
You can’t change the size or location of your home, but you can highlight it’s best features. Use some home staging techniques to showcase these features. If you don’t have an eye for home decor, ask a friend or relative or your agent for some ideas and implement them.
9. Price your House Reasonably & Realistically
We can guide you in this area. If you have done your research (tip #2) you will know what the right price point is. It doesn’t matter what home values were in the past. No overpriced home will sell, no matter how good it looks.
10. Choose the Right Real Estate Agent
Interview agents that you know you can trust. Ask them about their past successes and what sets them apart from the rest. Make sure they are assertive enough to give you a realistic assessment of your home and what you can do to improve it.

With
2012 dawning on us, here are a
few predictions about how the arizona real estate market may look like in year 2012:
1. Buyers Will Return
In 2011, a lack of consumer confidence in the overall economy dramatically impacted the housing market. Buyers were afraid to make a purchasing decision on any big ticket item. By the end of 2011, consumer confidence began to return and sales increased. Economic conditions will continue to improve throughout 2012 and consumer sentiment will solidify. Once that happens, home buyers will realize that now is the time to buy.
2. Foreclosures Will Increase
The ‘shadow inventory’ of foreclosures which has been growing since late 2010 will finally be introduced to the market. Distressed properties sell at discounted prices. They will impact the housing values of the non-distressed homes in the area.
3. Prices Will Soften
As more and more foreclosures come to market, there will be greater downward pressure on the values of houses in the region. Foreclosures impact values of non-distressed properties in two ways:
They will eat up some of the buyer demand in the market.
They will impact the appraisal on ALL transactions in the area.
An increase in foreclosures will have a negative impact on values. This will cause more homes to be underwater.
4. Short Sales & Foreclosures Will Increase
As mentioned above, we strongly believe that home prices will soften through at least the first half of 2012. Falling prices will force more homeowners into a position of negative equity. Negative equity is one of the triggers that cause people to strategically default on their mortgage obligations. If this happens, there could be an increase in the number of foreclosures. However, we predict that banks will take preventative measures which will help many of these homes avoid foreclosure by easing the requirements in the short sale process for both homeowners and real estate professionals.
5. Great Agents Will Be VERY Successful
Real Estate professionals who have invested the money, time and energy to truly understand what is happening and why it is happening will separate themselves from their competition and do very well this year.
Those who take that next step of learning how to simply and effectively communicate the market to their clients will be seen as industry leaders. These experts will dominate their markets.
