Is Now the Time to List Your Home?

Is Now the Time to List Your Home?

Today I am here with Gina Elliot to speak about the seriousness of our low inventory and the amount of buyers and investors looking to purchase homes. Many people are serious about buying with the low interest rates and uncertainty of how long they will stay down but with the low inventory, they’re just waiting for things to come around.

Another question we get this time of year is whether or not people should wait until spring to enter the market. With the low inventory and interest rates, now is a great time to be selling your home. It is important to have your home in great condition and priced correctly as well. If you’re motivated, now is the time to sell!

If you have any questions, call us, text us or send us an email. We hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Our Recipe for Success When Selling a Home

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to my video blog.

Today, I am at 5011 S. 239 St., a beautiful home in the Hamptons. This four bedroom, six bathroom home is nestled into a 100 year old oak forest. The almost new home has a walk though pantry, an open floor plan and almost everything else you can think of!

Today, I wanted to talk about the perfect recipe to sell your home. Don’t tell anyone, though! It’s our secret!

The first ingredient is choosing the proper price. Together, the sellers and I determine a price we are both satisfied with.

Then we bring in a professional stager to help arrange the home and make it appealing to a wide range of potential buyers.

Once the home is in good condition, a professional photographer comes in to take beautiful pictures to showcase your home.

Those pictures are then put on the MLS. Did you know most buyers start their search online? That’s why professional photographs that compliment your home are crucial! They are the first impression your home makes on a potential buyer.

Thank you for watching and as always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call me at 402.445.4899

“What’s Going On with the Market?” – July 2013

Hi, everyone! People always ask me, ‘what’s going on in the market?’

Well, as we know, the interest rates climbed a bit earlier this summer. This caused some chaos in our market with buyers scrambling to purchase homes before rates increased more. Things have calmed down, though.

We are still seeing an all-time record low inventory. There are a total of 3,918 active listings in the Omaha area and 2,300 pending sales! There are buyers out there looking for homes. So, if you know someone who is thinking about selling now or in the near future, give us a call. Our team will get your home sold, not only quickly but at the price you want!

In July of this year, the average days on market in Omaha for MLS was 58 days; Team Elliot’s average was only 44 days! Not only do we sell quickly, though, but at a great price. Our sales vs. list price ratio is 98%, while MLS’s is 97%.

Despite low inventories, I will emphasize that sellers still need to have their home in good condition that is priced competitively. The market is great; now is the perfect time to sell. Give us a call so we can start on your next real estate move!
