In today’s news headlines we are hearing everyday about a collapse in the housing market. There are getting to be more and more houses that are being foreclosed on because they were financed with loans that they now can’t afford. In some cities, the builders didn’t stop building until there were too many houses on the market, which has caused too many homes to be on the market. That in turn has forced other home values down. In short, the housing market is not the boom market it was a few years ago.

If you are in the position now that you are trying to sell your house, you may be a little worried as to whether you will be able to get it sold quickly and for as much money as you hoped it would sell for. When it comes to selling houses these days the buzz word is “Home Staging”. Is home staging right for you?

Recent stats show that homes that have been staged for sale receive 3-6% increase on their equity than unstaged homes. Also, on average, a staged home sells 2-3 times faster than unstaged homes. This can mean a lot to you financially if you are trying to sell your home. No one, wants to end up selling their house for thousands less than they had hoped to sell it for, and for sure no one wants to end up paying two mortgages because the house sits on the market for a lot longer than you planned on.

So what is home staging? Home staging is basically taking stock of what your house has to offer and doing the things that highlight the best features of the house. Home stagers make your house appeal to the broadest possible range of buyers. Their goal is to make it look the best that it can look, hopefully without spending a lot of money that you won’t get back when you sell the house.

Home stagers generally charge, depending on your geographical area, $200 for their initial report of what they think should be done, and then $75 or more per hour to actually stage the area. This does not include the cost of materials or labor that may be needed.

Depending on your situation, you may not be able to afford to hire a professional home stager, but there is no reason why you can’t learn to do some of the things that a home stager would do. There are a lot of things that you can do yourself that will help your house sell for more money and much quicker.

The first thing you need to do is to take stock of what your house has to offer. If you have been living in the house for a long time, you need to look at it with fresh eyes. Start with the outside. Does the pain on the trim need to be freshened up? Do the bushes need to be trimmed back so you can actually see the house?

Your house needs to be inviting on the outside or your potential buyers will never stop to come and see what you have to offer them inside. Cut the grass. Make sure the garbage bins are out of site. Touch up your trim paint if it needs it. Hose off the siding and knock down the cobwebs.

Once you have improved the looks of the outside of your home, you need to take stock of what you have on the inside. Have you ever taken a picture of your kids and when you looked at the picture realized that there is clutter behind them? We get so used to our surrounding that we get used to the clutter and the excess stuff we have around us. That stuff is fine if you and your family are living there, but if your house is on the market to sell, you need to reassess things. You need to clear off the counters, get rid of excess furniture and toys that are lying around.

You also need to do some deep cleaning. First off, if you smoke in your home, take it outside. You will also need to do whatever it takes to get rid of the smell. The smell of cigarette smoke will turn off a lot of people. Pets are also a problem. Remember, you are trying to appeal to the largest number of buyers. It may still be your home, but if you want to get it sold quickly and for a good price, you need to court the potential buyer.

There are so many ideas that you would come across when you are trying to find a way of dealing with the debt and financial issues that you would be facing. However, you would need to examine the advantages that would come with any option that you are thinking of taking beforehand.

We would try to examine some of the reasons why you would just need to find someone to sell your home to and request to remain in the home just as a tenant, when the problems you are facing touch on the home mortgage.

Sell and rent back home enables release of equity

Once you are in so many debts, you would need something that would help you release the equity so that you are able to pay off some if not all of these debts. Also, when you have the equity released, you would be able to settle your divorce is at all you were in the process of getting one and all these would be done when you have to remain in the home.

Sell and rent back home allows you to resolve pressing issues

What other issue would be more pressing than finances? By the way, financial issues are the roots of other problems that people have. When you sell your home, you would have some cash because you would sell to those who offer quickest services. This would allow you to pay off the mortgage, settle other small unsecured debts and live your life in the same home as normal.

When you sell and rent back home, you escape pending eviction

When you are evicted from your home, you would feel small and worthless. This can affects a number of aspects of your life. However, you can be smart and escape all these by simply accepting your situation and selling the home, renting it back and if possible, buy it back when your situation gets better.

Sell and rent back home when there is no other way

Of course, it is normal to get into a situation when you have no other way out. You would be happy when you can at least avoid taking in more debts and you try and clear what is pending. Sell that home; be inside it as a tenant and soon, you will be able to reorganize your life for better.

Sell and rent back home has best timescales

When you are desperate, you would need money like yesterday. You would want a solution that is real time and that would help you have peace soonest possible. You can choose to have such a solution by finding a buyer who would buy your home in the timescale that you would stipulate.

Sell and rent back home can help you have back home

Since you would still maintain your stay in your home though as a tenant, you would realize that what you need to do is probably to work harder and later or discuss with the buyer on the option of having his sell back the home to you. It is actually possible at no extra cost.

Sell and rent back home is a quick property sale scheme

You do not have to be in a fix to sell your home. Maybe you have realized that you need to relocate or you just don’t want to have the home any more as an owner. You however may have not cleared the mortgage. This scheme would help you sell the home in the quickest time possible.

So, if you think that you need to take the sell and rent back home scheme, you would have to find just the right place to take the service from.

Any home will sell, given enough time. How much time do you have?

One of the most frustrating things about selling a home, condo, townhouse during a slow market is trying to price it so that it sells in the amount of time the owner wants to sell it in.

You don’t want price your property so high that it doesn’t sell.

Of course you don’t want to price it so low that you unknowingly give money away to your buyer.

This is a fine line that a property seller ends up walking.

Here is what I suggest a home seller do to find the best sales price for their home given the amount of time that they have to sell:

• Get Three CMA’s:

Call three real estate agents that have at least two years of real estate sales experience. Tell them you are thinking of selling your property and want to get a CMA (CMA: Comparative Market Analysis). A CMA will be a written estimate of the value of your property based on recently sold properties that are similar to yours. Be sure and let the agents know that you are talking to other real estate agents.

Between the three values you should be able to get a fairly good idea of what your home might sell for.

Heads Up:

There may be other homes in your neighbor that are for sale. Don’t confuse their asking prices for actual home values. Home sellers can ask any price for their home. Values are figured strictly by what similar homes have sold for.

Heads Up:

It is fairly likely that one of the agents may have set the CMA value considerably higher than the other two. This may be due to negligence on their part, but it is more likely that they are “buying the listing”. They set the CMA price high in an effort to get you to list with them. Later they will pressure you to lower your price to where it should have been in the first place. Of course by now they have wasted your time while you waited for your over-priced home to sell. I have seen this over and over again. This is a common ploy. Don’t get taken by this deception.

• How long will it take to sell?

When you have figured out what seems to be a good asking price for your home, you will have a good idea which agent you would like to use to help get your home sold.

Ask your agent how long other homes like yours have taken to sell. Let’s imagine that the average “days on the market” (Days on the market: number of days a home takes to sell after it is put up for sale) is 120 days. If you are not in a hurry this may sound just right to you.

What if you need or want to sell faster than our 120 day example? Let’s say you have a new job that starts in 90 days in a new city. It usually takes 30 days to “close the sale” (close the sale: sign the final documents transferring title to the buyer), after your home “goes under contract” (goes under contract: you have a buyer that wants to buy, has signed a sales contract with you, and is in the process of getting a loan). You realize that you need to find your buyer in no more than 60 days after you put it up for sale.

You are going to have to ask your agent to give you an idea of where to price your home so that it sells (goes under contract) in 90 days. Hopefully they can come up with a fairly good idea of the 90 day sales price.

What I might do, if I were your agent, is to figure out what the highest selling price you could ask, so that you could sell your home in one day. Then figure out the seven days selling price, a 30 days selling price, and then a 90 days selling price.

For example:

• Let’s say the 120 day sales price for your home is $275,000.

• Then given one day to sell your home, you might be able to get $200,000 (30% below market value).

• Given a week you could probably sell your home for $225,000 (20% below market value).

• 30 days sales price: $240,000 (15% below market).

• And finally, 60 days sales price: $255,000 (8% below market value).

• Priced at $255,000, your home will look like a bargain to a home buyer, and you are more likely to get a faster sale.

In a slow market you have to be willing to lower your asking price, maybe more than once in order to get your home sold in a timely manner. Be prepared mentally for this possibility and your home selling process will be smoother and faster.

Although the home selling process differs depending on your location, there are some steps that every seller should take before putting his house on the market.

1. Pre-approval for your home loan

Have you heard the horror stories of sellers who signed a contract to sell before they even know if they could qualify for another one? As the story goes, either they aren’t able to sell at the desired price so they can’t afford the home they want or even equal to what they currently have, or else they don’t qualify financially for a loan the way they did the last time they purchased. They end up either renting or buying something that isn’t what they’d hoped for. Before you decide to sell or accept any kind offers, you should get pre-approved by a lender. It’s also a good idea to research the market where you’d like to live so that you get an idea of what it will cost to buy your new home. Questions to ask yourself could include: What’s the difference in price on a step up? How do homes already for sell compare to your own? What kind of price are you looking or hoping for and is it realistic for what you want to purchase? You can also start looking both at houses that are similar to your own and those that are similar to what you want. Compare prices. You might have to pick up the newspaper or some For Sale magazines (usually free). You can also begin calling agents and other resources.

2. Calculate the cost of your mortgage payoff

You’ll need to know the amount required to payoff your mortgage in order to sell. You can contact your lender for this information.

3. Figuring the worth of your home

Most real estate agents will gladly help you determine your home’s fair market value, however you might consider ordering an appraisal. Keep in mind that although an appraisal costs money, (and the agent does it for free) the appraisal will give you a more appropriate idea of your home’s value and might be worth the extra cost.

4. Estimate Your Costs to Sell

Although you’re selling to make money, there is some cost to you in order to sell. Some ideas of things you’ll need to pay for and probably want to figure out the cost of include:

Commission to a real estate agency if you plan to use one to help you sell

Taxes on the sale

Some seller required fees which might include inspections, surveys, etc.

Advertising costs to sell, signs, fliers, etc.

Closing costs (your real estate agent can give you an idea of these costs)

5. Estimate Your Costs to Buy a New Home

When you apply for pre-approval of a new loan, your lender should disclose to you an idea of estimated costs to acquire a new home. Some of these costs could include:

Down payment

Home inspections

Moving expenses

Title and policy work

Hazard insurance

6. Estimate Your Proceeds

There should be some profit but here are some ideas to consider before estimating the final amount:

Make all repairs so that there will be no reason for a potential buyer to submit a lower offer. This does not mean cosmetic repairs are required, but real repairs such as a broken heater, etc.

If your home is not yet paid off, be sure to deduct your mortgage payoff amount.

Deduct all selling costs from the total payoff amount.

7. Make Necessary Repairs

Most people don’t think of their house as a “fixer-upper” but unless you want your house thought of this way, you may need to consider things that are obviously broken and repair them before you try to sell. Otherwise your buyer might think they have a reason to submit a lower offer.

8. Preparing the House for Showing

Most houses need at least a little spiffing up before they are shown to potential buyers. Great curb appeal, fresh paint indoors (and sometimes out), organized closets and cabinets, sparkling clean windows and appliances, and a clutter-free atmosphere are essential if you want the house to appeal to buyers. Very few houses are always in mint condition. Your house may need a little cleaning and organizing to help it become extraordinary. Great curb appeal, fresh paint, arranging closets or cabinets and clean appliances, drawers or windows help make your house appeal to buyers. Do whatever you can to make your house clutter-free and cleaner than it usually is. This is great preparation for showing the house- be sure to maintain this level of cleanliness for as long as it takes to sell your home.

9. Becoming Comfortable with Allowing People In

If you are really ready to show your house, you have to learn to be comfortable with people coming through… some of these people may eventually live there! Don’t ever ask to be present during a showing unless there is an urgent need for it. Why? Because lurking sellers make nervous buyers. No one feels comfortable exploring or inspecting a house, knowing the owner is watching over their shoulder. Also you need to have your house ready for showing at any time, day or night. Some agents won’t even bother showing a home that needs 24 hours notice. Make the house accessible, make yourself removable, and remember to be prepared for showing at a moment’s notice.

10. If you’re ready to sell, LIST IT!!

If you think you’re ready to sell, you probably want to make your house visible to potential buyers. You might decide to sell your house for sale by owner. If so, you might want a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help you set your price. Also explore all types of marketing tactics, including print, web and other types of advertising. Although you pay a commission, there are definite advantages to using an agent. Before choosing an agent, here are some things to understand about agencies and to be sure your house is getting the visibility needed:

Find out what is the commission rate. You can make several phone calls and compare agencies offering the same services.

Get listed on the MLS (multiple listing service). Find out if the agency belongs to more than one MLS. In some areas there’s an overlap of popular neighborhoods, making multiple memberships important.

Find out how long they want you to list with them, keeping in mind that the time is usually negotiable.

Find out the average length of time it takes to sell a house in your area. Find out the company average. Compare with other company averages for your same area.

Find out how long the (potential) listing agent has been licensed to sell real estate. Find out what kind of success rate he has.

Find out what percentage of the agency’s listings sell during the initial listing contract period. This initial period can be as long as six months.

Find out how often you can expect buyer feedback, whether it be after every showing, weekly, more often, etc. Find out the means for this feedback – written, online, etc. Buyer feedback is a very useful tool because if everyone makes the same negative comment, you might consider resolving the problem.

Find out if the agent will hold an open house for other real estate agents or for buyers. Find out what other marketing tools he might use.

Determine how showings are to be handled. If you put restrictions on showing, you may cut down on the number of buyers seeing your home, but you need to be sure you can handle showing or leaving at a moment’s notice.

If you have pets it is an excellent idea to find a place for them during showings. If you have an indoor pet, think of taking it with you when you leave for a showing; if it’s an outdoor pet, tie it up outside to ensure both the safety of your pet and the buyer.

Consider a lockbox for times when you aren’t available to be reached. Many agencies place a key inside a box that is secured to your home and then only agents have a key to open the lockbox. Helps your home to be available more, even if you’re available less.

If your new home will be in the same area, ask the agent any questions you might have as a buyer. You may choose to use the same agent to buy and sell.

I want to sell my home. What should I do to ensure my home will sell? While the number of homes selling in the US Real Estate Market has decreased, homes are continuing to sell. Homes are still selling in all parts of the country. The thing that is different now in comparison to two years ago is that you must understand the current market and make your home attractive in the current market conditions. Two or three years ago homes were selling pretty much regardless of list price and condition. Price and condition are very important now.

There are two primary mechanisms that a home seller has at his disposal to ensure that a home sells at a good price and in a timely manner. Those two mechanisms are price and condition. The bottom line in this real estate market is that if your home is not priced properly it will not sell! If your home is in disrepair and needs a lot of work it will not sell unless you want to sell it at a very low price! You need someone who shoots straight to give you the advice you need to properly price your home and get it in the condition that makes it attractive to the Buyer.

Pricing a home to sell in a slowing real estate market requires that you give strong consideration to comparable homes that have sold recently. Homes that sold two years ago will not provide a good comparison. After evaluating the price of comparable homes that have sold, it is essential to compare the price you would like to sell your home for to homes that are currently on the market for sale. This step is very crucial. Your home must be priced more attractive to a potential buyer than all other homes that are comparable to yours. In the present market, you might want to price your home 3-5 percent less than the most attractively priced home you find. After looking at the price of sold homes and homes presently on the market, the home should be priced at the lower of the two prices.

Consider this. How do some Realtors approach finding a home for a Buyer? After discussing the wants, needs, and dreams of the Buyer, some locate a few homes that interest the Buyer, preview the homes to show and arrange them in the order thought that the Buyer will like them. The home that thought to be liked best by the Buyer will like is shown first and work down in that order. It is not uncommon that a Buyer selects the first home shown. While the Buyer may choose the first home shown, you should look at a few more homes just so you will have confidence that they made the right decision later on. When the US Real Estate Market was at its hottest, a seller could have their home at number 4 or 5 down on the list of comparable houses on the market and it might still sell. In today’s market, whether you are looking at homes in the Roanoke, VA Real Estate Market, or homes in the Atlanta, GA Real Estate Market, if a home is not priced number One in comparison to similar homes, it will take a very long time to sell if it will sell at all. The graph below shows a key relationship that illustrates what this means to the home seller. The sample market discussed below is taken from the Roanoke Real Estate Market. This sample market may represent the trends in the US Real Estate Market. The average Days on Market for Roanoke area homes that have sold has increased to 85 days (August 2008) from 61 days (June 2006). Note, this Days on Market figure is based on homes that have sold not homes that are on the market. There is a dramatic difference between Days on Market for homes that are SOLD or Under Contract and those that are Active or on the Market and available to be shown. Again the Average Days on Market for Sold or Under Contract is 85 days, for Actives the Average Days on Market is 161 days. Price is very important in determining the length of time your home will be on the market. The bottom line is: get the price right or your house almost certainly will not sell in this market.

Even though you are selling your home without a real estate agent, the assistance of a real estate professional is still needed at various steps in the home selling process.

Follow these tips and you will find the process goes smoothly:

The requirement of a real estate attorney depends on the laws in your state. Even if you live in a state where a real estate attorney is not needed, as a for sale by owner seller, it will still be beneficial for you to use one.

A real estate attorney can serve many purposes in the housing transaction.

When you hire an attorney that specialized in real estate, that attorney is responsible for seeing that your best interests are met in the housing transaction.

A real estate attorney can act as the escrow agent by holding down payments, documentation, and earnest money deposits. Not only that, the attorney can help you decipher and evaluate complicated offers you might receive from a buyer.

In the event that the lender’s attorney does not handle the closing, your real estate attorney will host and handle the closing. If the lender’s attorney does handle the closing, then your real attorney will represent you in the process.

Your primary concern should be to find a real estate attorney that will provide you with assistance you need in the housing transaction.

You can use a local or internet directory to find the names of some attorneys in your area. Asking friends or family who have recently sold homes for references is another way that you can find an attorney to assist you.

If there are neighbors with “for sale” signs in their yards, you can casually inquire about the real estate attorney they are using. Hiring an attorney that comes as a reference is often better than cold calling attorneys.

As you look for a real estate attorney to hire, you should choose one that works primarily with real estate transactions. Avoid choosing a criminal or family law attorney that handles real estate transaction on the side.

Your interests will not be best served by an attorney that does not spend a significant part of his or her time in real estate transactions. Certainly do not hire an attorney that has never worked in real estate.

Along with experience in real estate transactions, price will be the other factor you use to choose a real estate attorney.

The attorney you hire will have two major responsibilities: reading and advising you on documents and representing you at closing.

Get a price quote from prospective real estate attorneys on those two tasks. You can get a discount from the attorney by letting him or her know that you will be preparing and filling out some of the documentation.

Shop around among several real estate attorneys to get a feel for experience level and price charged.

The most important thing is that you have a real estate professional available to assist you through the transaction. Even if you have successfully sold a for sale by owner home before, it is better to have legal assistance than to attempt to complete the process on your own.

Craigslist is an Internet phenomenon that brings millions of people to its local pages to peruse the latest deals. For the enterprising home seller, listing their home on Craigslist may mean that they get more potential buyers looking at the property. It certainly doesn’t hurt, but sellers beware, Craigslist isn’t a miracle working home selling device. Without the aid of a professional agent, your home may just join the rest of the discarded listings.

The problem with sites that claim that you can sell your home through Craigslist “without the help of an agent!” is that they don’t take into consideration the many details that are involved with real estate transactions. It may be easy to find a buyer for your property via Craigslist, but negotiating a home sale is a different situation. Many home buyers are not equipped to deal with the minutiae of a home sale while they’re trying to juggle a job, family and other commitments. Also, an agent has more contacts in the real estate world than the average mortal and can connect a seller with a buyer very quickly using them.

Will Craigslist supplant the MLS? It’s not likely. Craigslist has only a limited search capability – number of beds & baths and specific keyword searches. The keywords aren’t that useful for finding one’s dream home, either. Also, one has to wade through incorrectly classified ads and ads that are purposefully placed in the “real estate” category to get leads for buyers. Craigslist’s search parameters are not to be compared to the MLS’ more comprehensive searches and filters.

Craigslist is, admittedly, wildly popular and many people use it. Should you? As a part of a campaign that involves the MLS and other advertising, Craigslist can be very effective. Good photos, a comprehensive description and a link to the MLS or agent’s page are a must. The Craigslist post should contain words to the effect of “For more information, go to this link…” If there are fancy things like virtual walkthroughs on the agent’s page, those should be mentioned as well.

Craigslist is a great place for selling your old furniture and other belongings, but as the sole medium of advertising a home for sale, it falls short. It’s best used in conjunction with the services of a competent agent as an additional form of advertising instead of the only advertising. Good pictures and clear copy can help people searching for their perfect home narrow it down to yours.

Since the fall of housing prices over the last few years, many home owners seem determined to get at least their purchase price out of their home for sale, while many others are looking to recoup the amount of money that they’ve paid into their homes. While this seems like a reasonable strategy, when you consider that the fall in housing prices has greatly reduced the amount of money that many of these homes are worth now, it is easy to see how listing your home at possibly a hugely inflated price is most certainly going to hurt your chance of a sale.

There are many problems with pricing your home with unrealistic expectations, as you can well imagine. Firstly, if you price your home like you’re trying to sell it to home buyers who’ve taken a time machine trip from 2005, you’re likely to not get many people coming to look at your home. Anyone who is looking for homes in the price range that you’ve set for your home is probably going to be looking at substantially nicer or larger homes than yours because your home should be priced in a lower bracket. If you do get any prospective buyers coming through to tour your home, you are likely to not get many offers—at least not in the range that you’re looking for.

What home owners might not realise though, is that a home that sits on the market for long periods of time isn’t encouraging for prospective buyers; they see that a property has been on the market for months—maybe with small drops in the outrageous asking price—and decide that all the other buyers out there have already decided that it’s not a property that’s worth buying. In addition, you’ve had to keep your home in a show-ready state for months in case a realtor calls to show your house; this can be merely a hassle to keep a home in a permanently staged state and it can also cost you money if you’re renting furniture or having a house cleaner come in to help you keep it immaculate.

For your best results in home selling, consult your realtor for their judgement on what kind of listing price they think that you should start with; many listing agents won’t even take on a client if they insist on pricing their home completely unreasonably because they know that it can be a waste of time to go through all that work for something that isn’t going to sell.

Some people, myself included, have this funny thought process that no matter what the project is, they can do it themselves. Well, in many cases this is completely true; there are a great many projects that you can, in fact, do yourself and get fabulous results from. However, not every project is a good candidate for a do-it-yourself.

Take, for example, the job of selling your home, while there are a plethora of agents out there chomping at the bit to assist you in home sales, there are some people who consider home sales just a big DIY project. If you have experience in real estate or are a retired agent, then this might actually be a reasonable DIY project; if your only experience in real estate is buying or selling a home with an agent, this is not a good project for you to take on yourself, however.

DIY doesn’t always work out as well as you hope, after all you don’t have the expertise that a professional generally does. A professional will know what the market will bear and can price your home accordingly; an underpriced home will rob you of money that you can invest in your new home, while an overpriced home will languish on the market with very few serious prospective buyers looking at it.

Another big reason that a professional is the best choice for the job is that because a realtor’s job is selling homes, they already have all the connections to get the job done in a timely fashion. Real estate sales take a lot of time and effort for a professional, more so if you’re learning as you go and need to make all sorts of connections from scratch.

Realtors also have expertise in the realm of legalities required in the home selling and buying business and there are a lot of legalities to consider! Because a lot of paperwork is done with prospective buyers before they’re actually shown any houses, this works as security as well.

From a buyers perspective it’s also better to have a realtor on your side to sell your home; prospective buyers would prefer the neutrality of a realtor and would almost always prefer to have a realtor do the showing with the owner out of the house. This allows the prospective buyers the freedom to ask candid questions about the property and price; they’re also more likely to take a good look at the property, looking in storage areas and closets, etc.

While many homeowners may think that a for-sale-by-owner transaction will save them the money that would be paid in commission to a realtor, in fact it is generally the case that a realtor will net you at least as much more for your home as their commission will cost you, if not quite a bit more. When you factor in the cost of your own free time that you would spend marketing your own home and the stress involved, you’re far better off handing off the work to someone who’s got experience in home sales.

When you consider the current financial climate and the struggle that so many homeowners are having with getting the equity out of their homes, it has never been more vital that you use a professional in home sales to market your home and guild you through the sales process. If you want to be involved with the whole process, take some time to research realtors in your area and let them know that you’d like to be hands on with the process; but let them do what they do best, getting the best deal for you!

 Whether you are looking for a top Realtor in Maryland, an experienced Baltimore County Realtor or the best  Realtor in Harford County, other than knowledge and the ability to represent your best interest, there is one very important skill that your home listing agent must have to sell your home fast, for the most money and with the least amount of headaches.

That skill is to be an expert marketer and to be more specific an expert at marketing your home on the internet. More than 85% of home buyers search for their home on the internet (according to the National Association of REALTORS). So if the real estate agent representing you does not know how to put your home where home buyers are looking, chances are they are not going to find it.

Value of anything is determined by supply and demand. As a home selling realtor our job is to create the demand by marketing your home to as many potential home buyers as possible. If almost 9 of 10 are searching on the internet, how do we locate the ones that are motivated and qualified to buy your home.

Needless to say it is not enough to stick a sign in the yard, post an ad and put your home in the multiple list. It is also not enough to just place your home on the internet. Most mls systems automatically upload home listings to popular sites like realtor.com, zillow.com and others that are very popular and effective, but is it really enough and the best we can do?

There are a ton of great looking websites that get little or no visits. It is all about traffic, getting people to actually see your home information, pics and virtual tour. Look at it this way, if you only had enough money to put up one billboard to advertise your home, would you want it on a road that ten vehicles pass per day or a major highway with a consistent flow of vehicles 24/7.

How do we find the right location? For a billboard we would do a traffic analysis. On the internet it is a little easier to find a high traffic website. We visit alexa.com which ranks websites by the amount of visitors. Here are the top four:

Top Sites
The sites in the top sites lists are ordered by their 1 month alexa traffic rank. The 1 month rank is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors and pageviews over the past month. The site with the highest combination of visitors and pageviews is ranked #1.

1. Google

google.com
Enables users to search the Web, Usenet, and images. Features include PageRank, caching and translation of results, and an option to find similar pages. The company’s focus is developing search technology.

2. Facebook

facebook.com
A social utility that connects people, to keep up with friends, upload photos, share links and videos.

3. YouTube – Broadcast yourself

youtube.com
YouTube is a way to get your videos to the people who matter to you. Upload, tag and share your videos worldwide!

4. Yahoo!

yahoo.com
Personalized content and search options. Chatrooms, free e-mail, clubs, and pager.

Now we know where the traffic is, but where there is more traffic, there is more competition. Therefore it takes special skills to get your message seen. If you or your agent can accomplish this, you are on your way to accomplishing your home selling goals.
