Camryn, Home Buyer in 94553

Of course I need to sell my house before I can seriously look for a Townhome, right ?

Asked by Camryn, 94553 Tue Sep 7, 2010

I tried to sell my 5 bedroom house 2 years ago, and I had several offers but of course everyone wanted a bargain. My house is in tip/top condition. The garage is even painted. Great view and pool. This type of house is not available to often. Wouldn't you think there is a possibility someone is looking to move to this side of the bridge because of being closer to a new job? What should I do in having a better chance of selling? My house is all paid for and if I would just get what I've paid for, I could turn around and look for that smaller Townhome. Just don't know what to do and how to start again. I don't want to deal with 2 agents and paying those high comissions. Thanks for your help !

Hi Camryn,

The price you can get for your home is determined by the market and what the buyer is willing to pay, you may not get all your money back. Also when a buyer does come along they will most likely get an appraisal, especially if they need a loan. The market is lower than 2 years ago so you will probably not achieve a price which you had previously turned down. If you need that price then you will have to ride the market until it gets back.

To get it sold you will have to market it so that potential buyers and agents can see it and at a competitive price in your market, the longer its on the market you will historically get less in the end. Selling by yourself is possible but agents do a lot more than just put up a sign and then get paid.
