If you live in Alpharetta, Cumming, Lake Lanier, or another area in North Metro Atlanta, and are trying to sell your home, there are a few things you must do to make your home stand out in this competitive market. Buyer's have a huge inventory of homes to choose from, and you want yours to catch their eye.
Tip #1 was to "Fix It". Check out my past blog for details.
Tip #2: The Price Is Right! Choose a knowledgeable real estate agent that knows the local market and can properly assess what price you might realistically expect from the sale of your home. Don't let your own personal feelings get in your way in this area. What you think your home is worth can often be much higher than the current market will allow. One to two years ago in Forsyth County, you could sell your home after only living in it a short time for a considerable profit. That has changed. Home prices in this area have leveled off over the past year. Listen to your agent! They should let you know what comparable homes in your area and/or subdivision have sold for in the past 6 months. This is a great guideline when pricing your home.
