How Do We Get This House SOLD!?

If you are one of the thousands of home sellers out there trying to get a nibble, you are not alone. In fact, if you are in Milwaukee County, there are 4,491 homes competing for a buyer. Washington County has 1,019 available homes, and Waukesha County boasts 2,837 homes looking for a new family. So, getting a buyer to like your home more than all of the rest is no easy task.

Here are a few helpful tips:

* Understand that unemployment and the struggling economy has all but destroyed consumer confidence.
* Realize that today’s buyer has plenty of homes to chose from. These buyers are only interested in the home THEY consider priced correctly.
* Know that the economic situation will take some time to correct. It will probably take 5-7 years before we see 2006 pricing.
* Prioritize your needs over wants. Take an honest look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place. Is money more important than being closer to family or your health? Or better yet, is money more important than moving on with your life?

In essence, you need to take the emotion out of the equation. If you can take a step back and look at the big picture, chances are, you will have a more pleasing outcome. Don’t forget - we are here to help! The Kuchtas, Kelly & Colleen www.thekuchtas.shorewest.com.
