How to Buy a Home for 20% BELOW their asking price.

Would it help your bottom line if you could buy your next home for THOUSANDS of DOLLARS less that its asking price? In your local market, right now, many hoses are selling for thousands of dollars less that they should have. Why can’t one of these be the home you buy?

It can be you!

Our EXCLUSIVE PURCHASING STRATEGIES have saved our clients over $370,000 so far this year. (Jan-Sept 2011)

Well priced & staged listings are going to sell right away. If you are looking for a Premium property you need to be prepared to pay their asking price (or above) to secure the Home. However that is NOT EVERY HOME...and here is the opportunity. In Sept 2011 for example 641 homes sold in the Greater Ottawa Area, 57% of them within the first month they were on the market. You can bet they were scooped up quickly and for a fair price...

...but you’re not here for a fair price, you want to buy a home for an unfair price, which means a DEAL FOR YOU!

SO here is what we look for: If the seller sets their price too high, their house won’t be picked for viewing, even though it may be much nicer than other homes on the street. They may have told their REALTOR® to "Bring me any offer. Frankly, I’d take less." But compared to other houses for sale, the home simply looks too expensive to be considered, and so people don’t and the home frequently sit on the market for a VERY LONG TIME, often dropping in price to far below what market value dictated it should have sold for.

OR

If they make a mistake, or intentionally price the home too low, the house will sell promptly, yes, but they may make less on the sale than if they had set a higher price and waited for a buyer who was willing to pay it.

These are the scenarios we look for!

The 3 vital questions we ask to find these great deals are:

Is this home priced to High/Low to what have similar homes in the area sold for?

How long has a home been on the market?

Is the Home empty (Vacant)?

Tired of NOT Selling your home privately?

Every week dozen if not hundreds of houses sell in your local real estate market, how many of those were YOURS?

Do you feel like you are missing out on a vital piece of information that would sell your home?

The information on this page will help you.

Keep in mind I am a professional REALTOR® so “YES” I would love to sell your home for you, as I have for many others, but I do understand you may not be ready to list your home with me yet.  When you are ready to hire a full service broker, I’ll still be here for you.

 

On to what you really came here for:

 

There are only 4 factors that matter in selling real estate, be it your home, your neighbours home, the empty lot across the street, or the office building downtown.  Sure they play off each other, you can compensate for one with the other, but ARE YOU using them correctly?

 They are: LOCATION – CONDITION – MARKETING & PRICE

Don’t lose THOUSANDS of $$$ by selecting the wrong asking price for your home.

Every week dozen if not hundreds of houses sell in your local market, many of them for thousands of dollars less that they should have. This is why selecting the RIGHT price to list your home for is so critical.

Some home owners when listing their home for sale choose a price that is too HIGH in hopes of drawing in a buyer who is either uniformed or willing to pay full price for the upgrades in the home.

Some home owners, when the time comes to sell choose a price that is too LOW for the home, because they were in a hurry to sell, didn’t research the market properly, or were misinformed as to the TRUE value of the home.

When a home seller chooses a listing price that is too high, despite how nice the home may be many potential buyers feel reluctant to make an offer that they feel is reasonable for fear of insulting the home owner. (Yes you heard that right, you may not get offers cause people don’t want to insult you.) You may have heard people use this strategy when they say “I’ll put the price up so even if someone offers me Ten Thousand less I’ll still be happy with the price.” What really happens is the home sits on the market, actually out of the market for weeks or months, the home owners reduce the price again and again in hopes of finding a buyer and in the end, they either decide not to sell or accept far less than the house is actually worth because they can’t get a reasonable offer.

On the flip side some home sellers set a price that is too low when listing their house, usually in hopes of creating competition, or as we call it multiple offers, in hopes of getting buyers to bid more than the asking price to win the home. What happens though when only ONE offer comes in? They take it, or don’t, but end up accepting closer to what they asked for than what the home might really be worth.

Pricing Considerations – Find a Balance Between Too High and Too Low

When setting a list price for your home, you should be aware of a buyer’s frame of mind. Consider the following pricing factors:

If you set the price too high, your house won’t be picked for viewing, even though it may be much nicer than other homes on the street. You may have told your REALTOR® to "Bring me any offer. Frankly, I’d take less." But compared to other houses for sale, your home simply looks too expensive to be considered.

If you price too low, you'll short-change yourself. Your house will sell promptly, yes, but you may make less on the sale than if you had set a higher price and waited for a buyer who was willing to pay it.

Don’t let any of these scenarios be you!

There are 3 vital questions you can ask (and hopefully answer) to find the true value of your home.

What have similar homes in your area sold for?

How do these homes and their sales resemble your home?

What can someone buy with the same money?
