Four real estate tips to help Keller buyers and sellers both win this summer
The
Keller real estate market heats up when the weather does, and spring and summer
are traditionally the most active seasons for home sales. This year home
prices may continue to rise and, with mortgage rates remaining low, the spring
and summer real estate season will be competitive for both buyers and sellers
in DFW.
Buying
a house can be a high-pressure task. Everyone wants to win in the DFW real
estate market, but not all do. Fortunately, some simple steps can help ensure
both buyers and sellers achieve the best possible outcomes.
1. Don't go it alone.
Real
estate agents bring value to both sides of a home sale. Ensuring that sellers
get top dollar and spend less time waiting for their Keller homes to sell, and
that buyers get the best home at the best price. To find a good agent,
interview several, - including the Grove Team read online reviews, get recommendations from family and
friends in the DFW area, and take your
time. Look for an agent who makes you feel comfortable.
2. Know what's going on in your market.
It's
generally a hot market at this time of year. In order to maximize chances of
success, both buyers and sellers should thoroughly research home prices in the
Keller area. Knowing what other homes are selling for will help sellers
competitively price their homes, and buyers who do their research will be less
likely to overpay. Buyers may also be able to avoid unproductive bidding wars
if they're armed with price information and know ahead of time how much they
are willing to stretch their budget for any given home.
The Grove Team will be happy to provide buyers and sellers with a comparative market
analysis of home values and prices in their area.
3. Be creative.
DFW
area sellers don't want to set prices too low and buyers don't want to pay too
much. Creativity can help close the deal for both groups.
Rather
than listing a home for a lower price, sellers can enhance their listing's
attractiveness in a number of ways, such as offering to help buyers with
closing costs or including a home warranty in the sale. Buyers - especially
those in multiple offer situations - can make their offers more attractive by
getting mortgage pre-approval, waiving contingencies or offering to rent the
home back to sellers for a short period of time to help them with their
transition.
4. Know when to walk away.
Sometimes
a deal just isn't right. Perhaps the other party's agent makes you
uncomfortable, a buyer is adamant about a lowball offer or a seller refuses to
make necessary repairs. Flash sales, bidding wars, price jumps and inventory
crunches can also make you feel uncomfortable.
When
a bad scenario occurs, the best course of action may just be to walk away. With
the looming possibility of a regrettable purchase, it pays to do everything you
can to make sure the deal you're considering is right for you.
