Summer Slow Down!

It's that time of the year: vacations, getting ready for school and more vacations. This time of year creates a lack of buyers and historically will continue through August. We will again see a pick up of buyers in September.

But it does not mean homes do not sell in these next six weeks. They will and they do. Make sure your home is one that a buyer cannot resist because during these next six weeks you will have serious buyers visiting your home.

How do you rise above these few weeks? Be sure all write ups about your home are colorful and informative. Include lots of photos ... aren't we all visual? Those photos should show your house in the absolute best light possible. Go over your listing and make sure you are happy with the information provided about your home. Have your realtor put colorful, professional brochures by your for sale sign and keep them filled. Keep your lights on in the evenings, including your front light, so that it shines when potential buyers are riding by.

Keep your grass well-manicured and fresh looking. Unless we are in a water conservation status, water the lawn so that it looks alive. Keep those flowers watered during this steamy time to keep them beautiful. You need to make sure your home stands out from all of the rest.

Take a look at homes that are your competition in your particular market. Click here to get a complete list and review their write-ups and photos and make sure yours are in line and if possible better than the others.

Remember this is a brief period of time that we experience every year. September will bring a fresh group of buyers ready to make your house their home!
