4 Common Mistakes Sellers Should Avoid with the 2013 Housing Boom


  • 4 Common Mistakes Sellers Should Avoid with the 2013 Housing Boom
 
It seems as though we may be on the path to a new housing boom in the U.S. for 2013! Even though home equity and home values may be slightly rebounding there are a few critical mistakes those selling a home should avoid…

The market seems to be starting to turn around this year.  With this turn of the market comes an overconfidence and a false sense of security.  An improving market can create a trip up with home sellers.

So what mistakes should those selling a home this year watch out for?

1. Pricing

Pricing is one of the most common ways homeowners sabotage their efforts in selling a home. Do not underestimate this. Pricing too high can prevent a home listing from even getting in front of the right buyers at all. On the other hand while some have begun trying to bait buyers into bidding wars with low teaser pricing, this can cause legal issues too.

2. Not Maximizing the Value

For those who aren’t in a rush to sell it’s always worth looking at what can be done to maximize the value of a home to obtain the highest possible price and net proceeds. This can range from simply sprucing up the curb appeal to staging to the way it is marketed.

3. Over Improving

In the reverse of the above, doing too much to a home or spending on the wrong items can often result in not just losing the money put in but in the worst cases, actually decreasing the value of a property. This is especially true for those already in a bind. Don’t put more money into a dead weight property you want to get rid of. Perhaps the best thing to do is sell for cash fast.

4. Waiting too Long to Sell

The U.S. housing market as a whole has been improving very well over the last year. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean homeowners have more to gain by dragging their feet in selling a home. Some pockets of the country are still battling foreclosures which could cause some temporary dips in appraised values in a few select locations. Plus, holding costs, maintenance and risk of liability or damage while holding onto a home longer could seriously outweigh any short term net gains in home value.
