13 Ways to Sell in 2013

Now that we are in the full swing of 2013, Dream Team Arizona wanted to bring you 13 changes for selling you home in 2013. As our Phoenix housing market continues to stabilize, increase and GROW once again we are here to bring you the TOP selling tools for 2013!

Here are the first two to get us started…

1.       Unique Qualities:

We mean no offense to the large networks that have made real estate popular but in the real world buyers will love your home for the same reason you do. As Phoenicians, we have many options of home styles: sprawling ranch classics can be found in Arcadia- Biltmore, classic Phoenix Historic districts like Willio, Windsor, Yaple Park, F.Q. Story all around Central Phoenix, we even have master planned communities focused on families like Anthem Del Webb and Vistancia featuring new build floor plans and of course who could forget our famous Sun City, the retirees dream! The truth is we have many home style options but every home has unique qualities.

What unique qualities do buyers ask about?

• Do you have a fantastic 4-10 car garage?
•  Perhaps your kitchen will sing to the coffee enthusiast.
• Did you build a movie theater, sewing room or dream closet?
•  Tell us about your extra- large separate workshop?
• Are you pushing laundry down a chute?
•  Can we find bonuses in your shower or tubs?
• Did you invest in solar power options?
• Can you backyard host a wedding?
• And…did you know for most Phoenix area buyers a basement is a unique quality?

Don’t be afraid to find people just like you!

2.       Timing Counts:

Do you live in a high family community? Chances are if you are in a subdivision in the Phoenix area the answer is YES!

If you are in a popular school district, you need to think about your timing even more and here is why- most families move during the summer months (yes we all love moving in 100 plus degree heat!).

Listing your house in the beginning of the year will help you and them. Plan for your average days on market (typically 20-35 days) plus an additional closing time needed. Which means from the time you list your home, allow prospective buyers to view, select and offer, move through closing and hand over the keys…we are talking about 50-70 days on average for a traditional sale.  Yes I said traditional sale (!!), we have seen a HUGE increase in traditional sales, and many of the sellers we meet with on a daily basis who thought they might be underwater actually have EQUITY in their homes!
