Step 4 - Marketing Your Home

Consideration of Current Market Conditions for your home:

1. Are home prices in your area trending upwards or downwards?
2. Are homes selling quickly or languishing?
3. Will your home be on the market in the spring home-buying season or the dead of winter?
4. What are current interest rates for mortgages?
5. Will you be selling in a Buyers or a Sellers market?
6. Is the local job market strong or are employees fearful of staff reductions?
7. How motivated are you for a quick sale?
8. Is it necessary for you as Seller to provide "incentives" such as a "pre-home sale" inspection, Home Buyers Warranty, financing assistance, Selling Agent bonuses? Many of these factors will be weighed in the First Step in marketing your Home - STEP 3 Determining the Listing Price.

Setting the Stage to Sell your Home:Consider what you look for when looking for a home to purchase - Visual appearance, odors and noise all factor into your impression. Imagine yourself walking up to your home as though for "the first time":

What do you notice?

• How do you feel about what you see?
• Is the home inviting?
• Is the home well-maintained?
• Would you be inclined to buy this home?
