Selling Tampa Real Estate More Quickly

There are really 3 main factors that affect Tampa Bay real estate selling time:
- price
- condition
- terms

Price is the single biggest factor. If the condition of your property is equal to others for sale in your neighborhood, and you're offering comparable terms, it will sell in about the average amount of time your Realtor can suggest. If you want or need it sell it more quickly, you may want to adjust your price down slightly to present "a better value" to prospective buyers.

Terms offered are another factor which can be used to attract buyers. You may offer to pay a portion of the buyer's closing costs, therby reducing the amount of cash a buyer needs and that will attract more first-time buyers. Consider including some major appliances if they are in excellent condition. Again, you'll be assisting first-time buyers. As your Realtor, I can also suggest other "terms" which will attract buyers in your locale or even a whole new group of potential buyers.

Condition of your home alone can prompt a faster buying decision by an anxious buyer, fearing that your home will be "snapped up" because it is so desirable. Consider investing in attractive, popular upgrades and cosmetic improvements. Start with your home's "curb appeal" - fresh paint, a flawless roof and landscaping. Inside, the biggest payoffs are in the kitchen and baths. Think about replacing "tired looking" appliances, faucets, countertops and flooring. Make your tubs and showers sparkle. Here again, I can tell you which improvements offer the best payback.

While Price, Condition and Terms aren't the only factors, they are surely among the most important. Vist my website or call me for advice if a quicker than average sale is your goal
