I have commented once before about property in Strongsville and how to get them sold. Currently there are 295 Activity properties with 46 pending that means that only 1 in every 6 is currently selling or there are enough home on the market for 7 months (if no one else comes on the market.) Plus the current selling price is about $94 per square foot. If you really want to sell you must price your house better, not the same as, others in your comparable price range. You must be willing to be the best house on the market in your price range.

A couple of things that may help; one the new tax credit for second or third time buyers will help you because this is a new incentive. Second, I would never give a realtor a bonus, he is not the one buying the house, if your commission is fair the Realtors will bring their clients.

Offer different things to the buyers and changer them frequently. If your are not including the appliance with the purchase offer them a $1000 gift card from Home Depot for appliances, You can pick them up but not activate them and leave them where the appliance are. One client I had had a vacant condo and he hung cards where the entire appliance were as a bonus to the buyer. Offer other gift cards I once hard a client offer 25 different gift card to restaurants in the area. If someone is buying a bigger house they sometimes need different furniture offer $2000 gift card to Levin furniture. These will open the eyes of buyer and that’s what you want as a seller.

Good Luck Selling
