Selling your San Diego County Home in 2011

A new year is right around the corner and after the hustle of the holiday season, the real estate market usually begins to ramp up.  So now is a great time to begin thinking about listing your San Diego home for sale.  Many buyers will enter the market come January and it’s a great idea to have your home prepared for sale.

Learn How to Sell Your San Diego County Home
One of the best things sellers can do, especially in today’s market, is to stage their home.  Staging helps buyers see the best assets of your home by highlighting its amazing features and minimizing any drawbacks.  A great San Diego realtor will be able to help you understand what buyers are looking for and can recommend small changes you can make in order to appeal to potential buyers.

Another issue sellers face is marketing their home.  Any great San Diego County real estate agent should give you a comprehensive marketing plan when you choose to list a home with them.  If they don’t, take pause and interview other realtors till you find one that can give you a real idea of how they plan to market your home.  There are lots of homes for sale, and your realtor needs to be working hard to make sure buyers are seeing yours instead of the competition.

On top of staging and marketing your San Diego County home for sale, make sure you talk with your realtor about pricing your home effectively.  Realtors know the market and know what homes in your neighborhood are selling for, so be sure to consider their advice on pricing.  A home that is overpriced will sit on the market for months, and in the end, the home usually does not sell or sells far, far lower than the sellers had originally hoped for.  So save yourself months of anguish and list appropriately to begin with.

January is right around the corner, so now is the time to get started if you are planning to sell your San Diego County home in 2011.  Contact me to find out how to stage your home for sale and what a professional San Diego real estate marketing plan should include.
