Selling your Novi condoI was going over what a Novi condo would sell for in this market with a client. Selling a Novi home or a Novi condo isn't tough, but home values have fallen so far. Many home sellers are upside down. If you have bought since 2003 you may be underwater on your mortage. Here is what I sometime have to tell them. Here are the three Novi condos that sold in your complex in the last 6 months. They took an average of 62 days to sell. This gives you an idea of how we sometimes have to bring clients down to earth on what their Novi Condo is worth. So many times Novi home sellers have no clue what their property is worth. So many times they think their home is the best and they can get over market value when the home is close in ammenities, size, and condition of the other homes that have sold. Feel free to call me if you are looking to sell your Novi condo or home. We can go over what you owe and what the homes and condos are selling for. We can go over what you need to do to get ready to sell.

Are you ready to sell your Canton Township home?When I come into your home I can help you get ready to sell your Canton Township home! It's not that I am perfect or a know it all. But as a real estate agent I see a lot of homes in a week. I have seen young kids walk into a home and say what's that smell? I have seen shag carpet from the 1970's that could have been replaced for a few hundred dollars. I have seen homes so cluttered you couldn't see the walls. I have seen a lot of bad homes. I honestly don't want to be the real estate agent for one of those homes. It's not unusual for me to be on the road looking at homes all day with buyers or on listing appointments. I have had many a day going 10 hours looking at Livonia real estate, Novi Condos, Farmington Hills real estate, and Oakland County water front property. I see how home buyers react to wallpaper, smelly houses, stained carpeting, or cluttered homes. Sure you may love your home's exterior painted peach, (Yes I saw one of those two weeks ago) but you are reducing the number of buyers that will even consider your home. I see home buyers run out of houses, I see them cross off a house because of a simple correctable item. The seller didn't take the time or spend the money to correct something simple and the buyer disliked it for the same reason. Some Metro Detroit home sellers don't have the money to the repairs. I have had a single mother that was barely scrapping by....she couldn't afford to do anything. I have had older sellers in their 80's that could barely take care of themselves let alone deal with the stress of selling their life long home. They physically could not do any repairs, and it was beyond them to hire somebody. Just too stressful. But some people are capable of getting their home ready to sell. It is a partnership between you and I to get your home sold for the highest price possible and as quick as possible. I like to walk through your home and help you stage your home. Sometimes it's a simple as repainting a room, making the house more spacious, but sometimes it's a list of 10 items. The more you can do the better. It will help you sell your Canton Twp home quicker and help you get a better price. So don't get mad at me when I say you should do certain repairs. I just want you to get the best possible price. My goal is to get your home sold! It doesn't matter whether it is Canton Township real estate, or West Bloomfield real estate getting your home ready to sell can be less stressful if you plan ahead. So feel free to call me or email me to set up a time to walk through your home.

You do want the the whole process go more smoothly don't you.. It is a good idea to place your West Bloomfield home or whatever Metro Detroit home on the market as far in advance as possible of purchasing a new one. The average time on the market for homes for sale in Metro Detroit in 2007 ( a buyers market) was over 6 months. In 2009 it still is over 3 months. Don't think that just because your home is nice that you will be the exception, and sell yours quickly. Everybody thinks their house is the best. You need an outside opinion. A neutral opinion. That's where my job comes in. It's part of my job to tell you what you need to do to help sell your house. Sure you may love that wall paper, but it has to go. It will pay to listen and do what we suggest. I have seen thousands of Metro Detroit homes for sale. I know what home buyers in Michigan are looking for.
Keep in mind that when people move, sell and buy, there usually is a domino effect. Closing and moving dates have to be coordinated, and the more firmly everyone commits to a window of dates and sticks to them, the better for all involved. if you absolutely have to be moved by a certain date, put all agreements about dates in writing, and protect yourself by negotiating financial penalties for failure to comply. Specify a certain dollar amount for failure to close, or failure to move out by a certain date. Be sure the money is escrowed by the title company so you do not have to chase somebody for the money. What ever you do start to plan and get your home ready to sell today! __________________________________________________________ More Metro Detroit home selling tips Search Metro Detroit real estate listings __________________________________________________________ Russ Ravary your Metro Detroit real estate agent http://www.detroitmichiganrealestatehomes.com/005170 Posted on Jan 03, 2010 @ 10:20 pm by russ.ravary - View Profile
