You Don’t Really Need To Sell
What kind of seller are you? Do you really need or want to sell your home? If your answer is no, then you’re the kind of seller that doesn’t really need to sell right now. You need to ask yourself if you are prepared to sell your home given the current market. Or will you want to set a high price on your home to “test the market”?
If you don’t really need to sell, you won’t be motivated to sell, and so it is highly likely you won’t sell until you want to sell and get realistic about the asking price of your home. Are you the type of seller waiting on the just-right person to come and make you an offer? Typically with this type of seller, their home will be on the market for a long time just waiting for that one person out there to sell to.
You Really Need To Sell
Are you needing to sell due to a number of personal or financial scenarios? This may put you in a position where you need to sell. Usually, this is coupled with a need to sell quickly. It is possible that you find yourself in this situation because of the current crisis? Or if the coming months put you in a bad financial situation.
If this is your scenario when you are interviewing real estate agents be sure to ask for detailed, realistic market analysis. Showing their opinion of the sales price. Ask for details about your home and the number of days on market (DOM). Do they expect it will take to sell at various price points? You should also consider putting the asking price close to or at the expected sales price to encourage activity and get your offers quickly.
If you have a loan on the property and you can no longer afford the monthly mortgage payments? You need to find out if you are nearing foreclosure on your home. If the loan amount is higher than the net proceeds from the sale. You don’t have the funds to make up the difference at closing this may cause you to go upside down on your short sale. This will not make the selling of your home go quickly due to the bank needing to be involved in your home sale. The bank will have the final say on sales price and terms (short sale approval).
As well, this will be dependent on their negotiating with you to recover any losses they will incur. You will want to have an experienced realtor by your side. To help you handle the short sale who have experience in this market. This will help you make the best decisions on how to best approach your certain situation.
