High demand and low inventory make up a seller ’ s market in real estate . Listing your home in a seller ’ s market could be the difference of having your home sell in days versus months . Demand for houses typically drives up competition , allowing sellers to potentially receive above asking price for their homes . But listing in a seller ’ s market doesn ’ t automatically guarantee your home will sell quickly . You still need to take the time to find a good real estate agent , ready your home to be listed , and do some research on the housing market in your neighborhood .
Once you decide you are ready to take the next step and sell your home , do some research on real estate agents in your area . Ask family , friends , and coworkers for recommendations and feedback on why they liked their agents . Once you have a few recommendations , reach out to them to learn more about their experience in selling homes like yours , the types of clients they usually work with , and to gauge if your personalities jibe . It ’ s critical to have someone you can trust .
Upon hiring , ask your agent to do a walkthrough of your home from the outside in , to provide you with constructive feedback on how to best ready your home for a buyer ’ s eyes . Be sure to keep an open mind when hearing feedback because decorations or paint colors that appealed to you may not appeal to potential buyers .
Once your home is ready to list , work with your agent to do some research on the housing market in your neighborhood . In a seller ’ s market , you may be able to list slightly higher because of limited inventory , but you ’ ll still need to list at a fair market value . If you list too high , it will immediately turn buyers off . n
